Description
This is the first book to deal comprehensively with Spain's tectonic and sedimentary history over the past sixty or so million years.
During Tertiary times, Spain had suffered compressional collision between France and Africa, and its Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts had been further modified by extensional rifting.
This study will therefore be of interest to earth scientists generally because of the insights it provides into continental crustal deformation.
Spain contains some of the best exposed outcrop geology in Europe. Because it includes sectors of two separate foreland basins, and an intervening craton with basins that have been influenced by extensional and strike-slip deformation, it provides excellent material for the development and testing of theories on the study of sedimentary basin formation and filling.
