Figure 2. Plate tectonic reconstruction of Iberia and the
Grand Banks at the time of anomaly M0 (from Srivastava and Verhoef, 1992) with
simplified bathymetry on each plate, outlines of the sedimentary basins (shaded
regions), and their tectonic features (continuous lines). Also shown are the
directions of relative plate motion (dashed lines) and the resulting overlap
between plate boundaries (dark stippled regions). GB = Grand Banks; JB = Jeanne
d'Arc Basin; WB = Whale Basin; HB = Horseshoe Basin; OB = Orphan Basin; FC =
Flemish Cap; CSB = Celtic Sea Basin; WAB = Western Approaches Basin; PB =
Porcupine Basin; GLB = Galicia Bank; IGB = Interior Galicia Basin; LB =
Lusitanian Basin; CB = Cantabrian Basin; NNB = North Newfoundland Basin; SNB =
South Newfoundland Basin; IAP = Iberia Abyssal Plain; TAP = Tagus Abyssal Plain.
