Tertiary Basins of Spain by Peter F. Friend, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

During the Tertiary, Spain suffered compressional collision between France and Africa, and its Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts have been further modified by extensional rifting. Because it includes sectors of two separate foreland basins, and an intervening craton with basins that have been influenced by extensional and strikeSHslip deformation, Spain provides excellent material for the development and testing of theories on the study of sedimentary basin formation and filling. This book is one of the few studies available in English of the important Tertiary geology of Spain. | Tertiary Basins of Spain by Peter F. Friend, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
