Peri-Tethys
Memoir 2 addresses the stratigraphic and structural evolution of the Alpine-Mediterranean
orogen and its hydrocarbon systems. Geographic coverage reaches from Morocco
via the Pyrenees, Alps, Carpathians, Apennines and Albanides to the Crimea and
southern Turkey. This memoir is the product of close cooperation between academic
and industrial Earth scientists. All papers are based on recent compilations,
integrating surface and sub-surface geological and geophysical data acquired
during hydrocarbon exploration and/or scientific programs. They are aimed at
unravelling the architecture and origin of specific fold-and-thrust belts or
basins. Much of the material presented has not previously been published or
was inaccessible to Western readers. The memoir consists of a 552 page volume
containing 24 richly illustrated papers with many black and white and colour
figures, and a box, which contains 31 loose leaf foldouts, 20 of them in colour,
presenting maps, cross-sections and seismic profiles.
