- W2040824039 abstract "S U M M A R Y: During the Palaeogene in NW Europe, a Gallic subplate was very nearly created. This plate was almost entirely bordered by plate boundaries, although not of equivalent ages. To the N, the N Atlantic began to open about 56 Ma ago, the Alpine convergent boundary extended southwestwards to the Pyrenean subduction zone; on the NE side a N British Pataeocene/early Eocene fracture--dyke boundary appears to pass southeastwards across the North Sea into a Lutetian to Burdigalian rift system. There is an age disparity between the fracturing and NW dyke intrusion in Britain and the fracturing and formation of the Rhine Graben. The last dykes in Britain (Ypresian) were intruded not long before the important subsidence of the Rhine Graben (earliest Lutetian), but their causes were different. The British dyke fractures propagated southeastwards via the Cleveland Dyke towards the North Sea, whereas the Rhine Graben propagated northwards towards the Zuider Zee depression. However, the structures from both sides converged in the Sole Pit Basin in the North Sea with the result that a continuous though not coevally-originated fracture system developed from NW Scotland to the Alps. During the early Tertiary, there was a wide range of tectonic activity throughout NW Europe (Fig. 1). In NW Britain lavas were extruded and plutonic complexes and extensive dyke swarms were intruded. In the North Sea tufts were deposited as a result of volcanism along the Rockall-Faeroe rift, reactivation of faults con- trolled magmatism, localization of gas fields, devolatilization of coal, and inversion of basins caused uplift, deformation and erosion. Along the Rhine Graben, doming, subsidence and rift propagation took place in association with alka- line volcanism and plutonism, coevally with the Meso--Alpine compressive deformations that oc- curred in the Alps. Faulting controlled sedimen- tation patterns during inversion of basins in southern England, the English Channel, northern France and Holland, old rift-faults were reacti- vated in the Western Approaches Basin, thrust- faults formed in the southern Bay of Biscay contemporaneously with thrusting in the Pyre- nees, and Variscan massifs were tilted and uplifted along steep reverse-faults. The main tectonic activity lasted from about 60 Ma to about 30 Ma, but it was diachronous, generally earlier in the NW and later in the SE. The igneous activity in northern Britain was related to the opening of the N Atlantic in the late Palaeocene, but the formation of the Rhine Graben and the inversion of sedimentary basins in the North Sea and near the English Channel were caused by major orogenic events in the Alpine region in the late Eocene to mid-Oligocene (Frisch 1981). Tectonic phenomena in the North Sea provide the link between those in northern Britain and those in the Rhine Graben. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that these movements from the Atlantic and Alpine sides almost fragmented the lithospheric plates of NW Europe during the creation of a Gallic sub-block, an earlier northern boundary from NW Scotland to northern Germany being transected by a later eastern boundary along the Rhine Graben." @default.
