I can also get a good image in my head although I did not have the travel chance in the past there. It is an excellent and systematic intruduction for the Alps's Tethyan marginal sequence. Field outcrops and inner figures, both pointed out to that rifting environment.

​@robbutler2095 could you point me to the relevant literature on "thermal subsidence" and reequilibrium?

@@cybernescens Sure -the basic ideas go back to Dan McKenzie (also see the video on "making oceanic lithosphere") - as covered in "Understanding subsidence in sedimentary basins" - but most basic text on basins cover it ....hope that helps for starters.

Thank you - glad you enjoyed it. More Alpine videos to follow....

Great informative Video, this place must be a geologists dream come true! Is there any evidence of volcanism in the Permian rifting?

Thanks - lots of good stuff in the Alps. Volcanism during Permian - yes indeed... the seds are volcaniclastic... (immature)

Really enjoyed your explaination of a pretty complex Geological sequence, I'd love to see a full series focussing on the Alpine geology. Can you recommend a good general text explaing the alpine orogeny?

Ha - a single text on Alpine geology... it's a big ask. Nothing really out there in modern terms - which is part of my motivation for the videos. I'm building a series in the coming weeks that will grow into a geotraverse of the old continental margin, then I'll do an intro summary... so watch this space!

hello mr.Rob , can you please make some videos on geological mapping of granitic terrains?

I was intrigued by this video as recently got very interested in the geology around Polzeath , unfortunately I’m stuck the middle of evolution and creation how are the years you show worked out

Not sure I get your question. Is it about calibrating geological time? The relative age and global correlation is via classical palaeontology, especially ammonites (for the Jurassic). The biostratigraphic timescale is calibrated by radiometric dating, e.g. of interbedded volcanics and again globally correlated by the record of magnetic polarity switches which is also recorded in rocks. Tested and refined repeatedly over the past 50-80 years by earth scientists from all around the world. Google - Geological Timescale. Apologies if your question was more elaborate... or try me again!
