Geological setting and results of Legs 41, 47a and 50 off northwest Africa

Legs 41, 47a and 50 have been devoted to the study of the eastern Atlantic and its margin by drilling on the slope, on the rise and in the adjacent basins off North Africa. South of the Canary Islands the Mesozoic history of the basins is extremely similar to that of the northwest Atlantic since at...

Description
Summary:Legs 41, 47a and 50 have been devoted to the study of the eastern Atlantic and its margin by drilling on the slope, on the rise and in the adjacent basins off North Africa. South of the Canary Islands the Mesozoic history of the basins is extremely similar to that of the northwest Atlantic since at least the early Late Jurassic.
