The tectono-magmatic and subsidence evolution during lithospheric breakup in a salt-rich rifted margin: Insights from a 3D seismic survey from southern Gabon

Marie-Eva Epin et al.

Summary: The study focuses on the Ocean Continent Transition (OCT) of the southern Gabon margin, analyzing the geometrical relationships of salt deposition and its relative timing to breakup. The results suggest that salt deposition occurred during mantle exhumation, with various depths and timing across the area. The observations also indicate that the space created in the faulted outer trough was filled partly by autochthonous salt and possibly also by downslope flow.

Deep structure of the Demerara Plateau: From a volcanic margin to a Transform Marginal Plateau

T. Museur et al.

Summary: The Demerara Plateau, located at the junction of Central Atlantic and Equatorial Atlantic Oceans, has a complex crust structure with possible volcanic and magmatic activities. The study suggests that the plateau may be an inherited volcanic margin from the Jurassic era, reworked during the Cretaceous to form the present-day structural features. The research emphasizes the significant contribution of thermal anomalies and tectonic phases in the history of similar Transform Marginal Plateaus.

Subsurface structures along western Yucatan from integrated geophysical analysis

Irina Filina et al.

Summary: The integration of seismic, gravity, and magnetic data reveals variations in crustal architecture along the Yucatan passive continental margin, particularly between the Yucatan salt basin and the Campeche salt basin. These variations explain the different tectonic histories of the basins, including pre-salt sedimentary basin, the pre-breakup locations of individual crustal blocks, and magmatic intrusions within the stretched continental crust.

Rifted margins classification and forcing parameters

F. Sapin et al.

Summary: This article proposes a classification of rifted margins based on mechanical behavior and magma production, illustrating that rifted margins are not divided into opposing types but described as a combination and continuum that can evolve through time and space.
