FN Archimer Export Format PT J TI Atlantic-type continental margins:distinction of two basic structural types BT AF MASCLE, Jean AS 1:; FF 1:; TC 0 UR https://archimer.ifremer.fr/doc/1976/publication-4987.pdf LA English DT Article DE ;Histoire Ifremer AB Large areas of the Atlantic ocean continental margin do not fit with the classic atlantic type continental margin model in which only simple geometrical arrangements have been distinguished. A new structural type, related to marginal offsets and corresponding fracture ridges is fundamentally different from the classic margin. Consequently, it is proposed to distinguish the rifted atlantic-type margin, the pacific-type margin and the transform faulted or strike-slip margin as three different and fundamental types of continental margins.
