title: Maps of the Callovian and Tithonian Paleogeography of the Caribbean, Atlantic, and Tethyan Realms: Facies and Environments
abstract: The Callovian-Tithonian period of the Atlantic and its connected oceans was tectonically intense. It was mainly marked by the opening of the Caribbean Seaway, the pursuance of the Atlantic and Tethyan spreading, as well as the North Atlantic rifting. This period is characterized by a general deepening of the oceans. At the same time, the sedimentation passed from largely siliceous to carbonaceous deposits within the Tethyan realm.
