Transition from symmetry to asymmetry during continental rifting: An example from the Bight Basin-Terre Adélie (Australian and Antarctic conjugate margins)

International audience The rifting history of the magma-poor conjugate margins of Australia and Antarctica is still a controversial issue. In this article, we present a model for lithosphere-scale rifting and deformation history from initial Jurassic rifting to Late Cretaceous breakup for the conjug...
