How the subduction direction of the Paleo-Pacific plate beneath the Eurasian plate changes in the Early Cretaceous remains highly controversial due to the disappearance of the subducted oceanic plate.Intraplate deform...
This study describes the clay mineralogy of the Lower Cretaceous(Barremian)rocks of the Wessex Basin for paleoenvironmental interpretations.Seventy-four samples were subjected to optical microscopy,scanning electron m...
