The origin of the western Mediterranean basin
Open accessAbstract
The evolution of the western Mediterranean basin is considered. The Provence basin results from the Oligocene migration of Corsica and Sardinia southeastwards. The North African basin was created by the dislocation of an 'internal zone plate' by the mechanism invoked by Karig. Lower or middle Miocene squeezing of the internal zones against the North African platform caused ejection of the flysch nappes.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
