Learn about the geology of north-central Mexico through the 21 papers in this volume, which span the assembly of Pangea in the Permian–Early Triassic, the Mesozoic opening of the Gulf of Mexico, and the evolution of the Mexican geosyncline. Multidisciplinary topics include analysis of the Permian–Triassic magmatic arc from surface and well data; detailed stratigraphy and paleontology of red beds of Late Triassic and Middle Jurassic age along the Gulf of Mexico coast region; studies on the Jurassic–Cretaceous boundary in eastern Mexico, as well as a strong emphasis on the sequence stratigraphy, sedimentology, and microfacies of Upper Jurassic to Cretaceous successions of northeastern Mexico; selective studies in La Popa basin, and tectono-stratigraphic analyses of the lower Middle Jurassic geology in central Mexico. Gravity and paleomagnetic investigation in northern Mexico complement many of the tectonic and structural papers.
