This volume provides an overview of the late Paleozoic to recent geological evolution of the continents and shelves bordering the North Atlantic Ocean, the Norwegian-Greenland Sea, the Arctic Ocean, and the Mediterranean Sea. The evolution of these seas has been the subject of many studies and compilations, which discuss the evolution of oceanic basins on the basis of their magnetic sea-floor anomalies. The volume presented combines this information with geological data from the adjacent shelf and onshore areas. It retraces the evolution of sedimentary basins developed during the rifting phases that preceded the opening of these oceans and highlights the scope of the associated intra-plate phenomena. The author presents a reconstruction of the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic development of Europe, northernmost Africa and northeastern North America-Greenland and discusses the different orogenic cycles that accompanied the stepwise assembly of Pangea and the early rifting phases heralding its break-up.
