Evolution of rift-related cover-basement decoupling revealed by brecciation processes in the eastern Pyrenees

Breccias associated with tectonic, fluid and sedimentary evolution of rifted margins can provide information on a variety of processes reflecting the modes of extension. In this paper, we analyse the numerous breccias exposed in the Agly Massif that was part of the European side of the Cretaceous ri...
