Geotouristic Coastal Itinerary in the South Coast of Paraíba (Northeast of Brazil) by Luciano Pereira, Arilde Alves

“…The South coast of the State of Paraíba belongs to the geomorphologic unit of Plains and Coastal Tablelands, having direct relation with ancient tectonic movements, generated during the drift of the South American and African Plates, added to Cenozoic tectonic events. This article proposes a geotouristic itinerary that includes seven places of geotouristic interest. …”

The Iriba alkaline basalts, an expression of mantle-derived Cretaceous magmatism of the Cameroon-Chad volcanic line along the Central Africa Rift System by Djerossem, Félix Nenadji, Mbassa, Benoît Joseph, Vanderhaeghe, Olivier,  Gregoire, Michel

“…These features, similar to basanites exposed in southern Cameroon, reflect the partial melting of a metasomatized subcontinental lithospheric root reworked during the formation of the Cenozoic Central Africa Rift System. We propose to define by Cameroon-Chad Volcanic Line this continental scale structure controlling the emplacement of alkaline magmas.…”

First in situ calcite U–Pb dating revealing the past episodes of the 2019 Le Teil Earthquake (France) by Gébelin, Aude, Matonti, Christophe, Larroque, Christophe, Carr, Patrick, Ampuero, Jean-Paul

“…In agreement with relative chronology data based on microstructural observations, our results allow us to define four main tectonic events: A first event from ~90 to 75 interpreted to reflect a thermal subsidence at the regional scale (Ardèche—South-East basin of France), a second event bracketed between ~60 to 50 Ma related to the N–S trending shortening of the South-East basin, a third tectonic event dated from ~40 to 37 Ma that we interpret to reflect the opening of the Gulf of Lion and European Cenozoic Rift System (ECRIS), and a fourth and final event at ~25 Ma that very likely represents a middle to late stage of the ECRIS. …”
