...Fernando Corfu; Torgeir B. Andersen Abstract The break-up of continents generates dyke swarms, basins and hyperextension assemblages. Once incorporated into new orogens, the latter can provide crucial information about origins and tectonic processes. The Nålfjell Complex in the Caledonian...

... of Wang et al. (2016) showing the presence at shallow depth of continental lithospheric mantle inherited from previous Cretaceous hyperextension. GR: Grand Rieu High; (E) Palinspastic restoration, to Santonian time, of the crustal cross-section shown in Figure 2D . Extensional structures: LAD...

... by different horizontal thermal gradients, supporting an asymmetry of the former hyperextended rift system. Using our results, we compare the Pyrénées to the Alps that also recorded hyperextension but no H T /L P metamorphic event and suggest that the high-temperature record within the basins depends on high...
