Comments on the evolution of the north-east atlantic
It has been proposed that the opening of the Bay of Biscay occurred by rotation about a pole situated near Paris (50.0° N, 3.3° E) and not about the pole proposed by Bullard et al.(4) (43.6° N, 1.0° E). The rotation about the first pole results in strike-slip motion aIong the North Pyrenean fault du...
