Abstract "The objective of this volume is to characterize geologic relationships and settings at the margin of the Laurasia plate from Middle Jurassic to the Early Cretaceous, overlapping the time of the opening of the central Atlantic basin, with the intent of assessing the compatibility of the features with contemporaneous, sinistral fault movement"--Introduction, page v.
