The area evaluated in this study consists of that part of the southwestern continental margin of Mexico situated within the Gulf of Tehuantepec. Through the use of surface geology, paleomagnetic data, gravity surveys, and continuous seismic reflection profiles, the evolution of the Gulf of Tehuantepec has been detailed as a progression from an open ocean basin to a more restrictef basinal setting.

This 21-chapter volume provides a regionally-comprehensive collection of original studies of Caribbean basins conducted by academic and petroleum geologists and geophysicists in the early and mid-1990s. The common tectonic events discussed in the volume including the rifting and passive margin history of North and South America that led to the formation of the Caribbean region; the entry of an exotic, Pacific-derived Great Arc of the Caribbean at the leading edge of the Caribbean oceanic plateau; the terminal collision of the arc and plateau with the passive margins fringing North and South America; and subsequent strike-slip and accretionary tectonics that affected the arc-continent collisi...
