Figure F22. Paleogeographic reconstructions of Newfoundland–Iberian conjugate margins during the (A) early Tithonian and (B) Aptian after Boillot et al. (1989) showing the northward propagation of rifting from the Iberian/Newfoundland segment to the Galicia Bank/Flemish Cap segment. Schematic distributions of sand detrital modes on QFL plots for the (C) Galicia Bank segment and (D) Iberian segment show the temporal evolution in sand composition recorded at each site. Ternary plots based on data from Johnson (1988) in C and from Marsaglia et al. (1996) and this study in D. Note that rifting in both segments is characterized by lithic-rich sandstones.
