Mesozoic rifting style of NW Africa rifted margin and West Iberia rifted margin and Galicia Interior Basin
American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting, 10-14 December 2018, Washington D.C. We present seismic data collected in 2018 of the structure of the opening of the central Atlantic Triassic to early Jurassic rifted margin, and of the Upper Jurassic to Early Cretaceous north Atlantic Mesozoic rift basins...
