Partitioning of lithosphere stretching and thinning at continental rifted margins between pre- and syn-breakup deformation : Norwegian margin study
The Norwegian rifted continental margin was formed by the breakup at 55Ma and earlier Mesozoic rifting of the North Atlantic. The continental margin reveals pre-breakup lithosphere deformation during the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous Periods. This study examines the Lofoten, Vering and Mere marg...
