Assessing the impact of crustal architecture and along-strike rifting propagation on salt deposition and tectonics: Insights from the Moroccan Atlantic margin
The salt-bearing conjugate rifted margins of Morocco and Nova Scotia contain one of the oldest stratigraphic records documenting the opening history of the Central Atlantic Ocean, starting in Late Triassic times. Although there is certain consensus on the Middle Jurassic to Present evolution of this...

The salt-bearing conjugate rifted margins of Morocco and Nova Scotia contain one of the oldest stratigraphic records documenting the opening history of the Central Atlantic Ocean, starting in Late Triassic times. Although there is certain consensus on the Middle Jurassic to Present evolution of this ocean basin, the Early Jurassic rift to drift transition stage is still under discussion.

Eight regional seismic transects illustrate the along-strike variability of crustal structural styles, magmatic budget, and the interaction between rifting and evaporite deposition.
