Drowning successions which cap carbonate platforms and flanks bear palaeoenvironmental information which is useful for genetic stratigraphy; they constitute predictive keyβmarkers in regional to global correlations. An Early Cretaceous platformβtoβbasin transition has been investigated in Apulia (so
During the middle Jurassic on the Southern Iberian Continental Margin (at the westernmost end of the northern Tethys) isolated carbonate platforms developed over volcanic edifices, forming guyots. The volcanic edifices were composed of Kβrich pillowβlavas and pyroclastic rocks with a radiometric age
Cathodoluminescence petrography has been combined with bulk-rock and micro-sampled 87 Sr/ 86 Sr, y 18 O and y 13 C analyses to reconstruct the diagenetic history of Lower Cretaceous (Barremian) limestones exposed at the southern margin of the Vercors carbonate platform in southeastern France. Strati
