Palaeotectonic and palaeogeographic evolution of the western Tethys and PeriTethyan domain (IGCP Project 369)

Abstract

The atlas contains more than two hundred new maps and documents grouped in nine regional sets (Iberia, Polish Trough, Eastern European and Scythian Platforms, Moesian Platform, Levant, Arabian Platform, Northern Africa, NE Africa-NW Arabia, Libya-Pelagian Shelf) plus a set of reconstructions for the whole western Tethys. The area considered in the atlas stretches, from west to east, from the eastern Atlantic shores to the Urals and, from north to south, from the Baltic shield to equatorial Africa; the time span covered extends from the Late Carboniferous to the Present.
