3.3. Tectonics of Rifting and Drifting: Pangea Breakup
3.3.1. Rift Basin Architecture and Evolution

Department of Geological Sciences, Rutgers University, Piscataway,NJ 08854-8066 U.S.A.
Rift basins have been increasingly the focus of researchin tectonics, structural geology, and basin analysis. The reasons for thisinterest include: (1) Rift basins are found on all passive (Atlantic-type)continental margins and provide a record of the early stages of (super)continentalbreakup. (2) The architecture of these basins and the basin fill are stronglyinfluenced by the displacement geometry on the bounding normal fault systems(e.g., Gibson et al., 1989). Thus, aspects of the evolution of these faultsystems, including their nucleation, propagation and linkage, can be extractedfrom the sedimentary record. (3) Many modern and ancient extensional basinscontain lacustrine deposits (e.g., Katz, 1990) that are sensitive recordersof climate. Milankovitch cycles (e.g., Olsen and Kent, 1999) recorded inthese strata provide a quantitative test of the predictions of basin-fillingmodels (e.g., Schlische and Olsen, 1990) that can, in turn, be used toinfer aspects of crustal rheology during rifting (e.g., Contreras et al.,1997). (4) Many of the major petroleum provinces of the world are associatedwith rift basins (e.g., the North Sea basins, the Jeanne d'Arc basin, theBrazilian rift basins).
This section provides a brief overview of the rift basinsrelated to Pangean breakup, especially those along the central Atlanticmargin (e.g., Olsen, 1997). In particular, we examine (1) the structuralarchitecture of rift basins; (2) the interplay of tectonics, sediment supply,and climate in controlling the large-scale stratigraphy of rift basins;(3) how the sedimentary fill can be subdivided into tectonostratigraphicpackages that record continental rifting, initiation of seafloor spreading,basin inversion, and drifting; and (4) how coring can be used to answerfundamental questions related to these topics.
Structural ArchitectureA typical rift basin is a fault-bounded feature knownas a half graben (Fig. 3.3.1.1a). In a cross section oriented perpendicularto the boundary fault (transverse section), the half graben has a triangulargeometry (Fig. 3.3.1.1b). The three sides of the triangle are the borderfault, the rift-onset unconformity between prerift and synrift rocks, andthe postrift unconformity between synrift and postrift rocks (or, for modernrifts, the present-day depositional surface). Within the triangular wedgeof synrift units, stratal boundaries rotate from being subparallel to therift-onset unconformity to being subparallel to the postrift unconformity.This fanning geometry, along with thickening of synrift units toward theboundary fault, are produced by syndepositional faulting. Core from theNewark basin confirms the thickening relationships (see Section 3.3.2).Synrift strata commonly onlap prerift rocks. In a cross section orientedparallel to the boundary fault (longitudinal section), the basin has asynclinal geometry (Fig. 3.3.1.1c), although more complicated geometriesare associated with segmented boundary fault systems (e.g., Schlische,1993; Schlische and Anders, 1996; Morley, 1999).

(b) Geometry along a cross section oriented perpendicular tothe boundary fault, showing wedge-shaped basin in which synrift strataexhibit a fanning geometry, thicken toward the boundary fault, and onlapprerift rocks. (c) Geometry along a cross section oriented parallel tothe boundary fault, showing syncline-shaped basin in which synrift stratathin away from the center of the basin and onlap prerift rocks. |

(b) Traversesection before faulting (left) and after faulting and sedimentation showingfootwall uplift and hanging-wall subsidence. The latter produces a wedge-shapedbasin (half graben). |

Dashed line representslake level. The relationship between capacity and sediment supply determineswhether sedimentation is fluvial or lacustrine. For lacustrine sedimentation,the relationship between water volume and excess capacity determines thelake depth. Modified from Schlische and Anders (1996). |
Figure 3.3.1.4. Examples of positive inversion structures.a) Cross section across part of Sunda arc. During inversion, normalfaults became reverse faults, producing synclines and anticlines with harpoongeometries (after Letouzey, 1990). b) Interpreted line drawings (with3:1 and 1:1 vertical exaggeration) of AGSO Line 110-12 from Exmouth sub-basin,NW Shelf Australia (after Withjack & Eisenstadt, 1999). DuringMiocene inversion, deep-seated normal faults became reverse faults. In response, gentle monoclines formed in the shallow, postrift strata. |
Figure 3.3.1.5. Experimental models of inversion structures. Cross sections through three clay models showing development of inversionstructures (after Eisenstadt and Withjack, 1995). In each model,a clay layer (with colored sub-layers) covered two overlapping metal plates. Movement of the lower plate created extension or shortening. Thinclay layers are prerift; thick clay layers are synrift; top-most layeris postrift and pre-inversion. Top section shows model with extension andno shortening; a half graben containing very gently dipping synrift unitsis present. The middle section shows model with extension followed by minorshortening; a subtle anticline has formed in the half graben, and is associatedwith minor steepening of the dip of synrift layers. Bottom section showsmodel with extension followed by major shortening. The anticline in thehalf graben is more prominent, and is associated with significant steepeningof the dip of synrift strata. New reverse faults have formed in the preriftlayers. Although the inversion is obvious in this model, erosion of materialdown to the level of the red line would remove the most obvious evidenceof inversion in the half graben. Furthermore, the prominent reverse faultscutting the prerift units could be interpreted to indicate prerift contractionaldeformation, as is common in the rift zones related to the breakup of Pangea. |
Stratigraphic Architecture
Numerous non-marine rift basins of varied geography andgeologic age share a remarkably similar stratigraphic architecture (Lambiase,1990; Schlische and Olsen, 1990; Fig. 3.3.1.6). Known as a tripartite stratigraphy,the section begins with basin-wide fluvial deposits overlain by a relativelyabrupt deepening-upward lacustrine succession overlain by a gradual shallowing-upwardlacustrine and fluvial succession. The key to understanding the significanceof this tripartite stratigraphy rests in the relationships among basincapacity and sediment and water supply (Schlische and Olsen, 1990; Carrolland Bohacs, 1999). Tectonics creates accommodation space or basin capacity.Sediment supply determines how much of that basin capacity is filled andwhether or not lake systems are possible (Figure 3.3.1.7). In general,fluvial deposition results when sediment supply exceeds capacity, and lacustrinedeposition results when capacity exceeds sediment supply.Figure 3.3.1.6. Stratigraphic architecture of Triassic-Jurassicrift basins of eastern North America. For tectonostratigraphic (TS) packageIII, nearly all basins exhibit all or part of a tripartite stratigraphy:1, basal fluvial deposits; 2, 'deeper-water' lacustrine deposits; 3, 'shallow-water'lacustrine and fluvial deposits. The southern basins do not contain TS-IV.TS-I is only recognized in the Fundy basin and may or may not be a synriftdeposit. Where TS-II is recognized, a significant unconformity (in termsof missing time) commonly separates it from TS-III. Modified from Olsen(1997), Olsen et al. (2000), and Schlische (2000). |
Figure 3.3.1.7. [BELOW] Relationships among basincapacity, sediment supply, and volume of water determine the large-scaledepositional environments of terrestrial rift basins. In example 1, basin-widefluvial sedimentation is predicted. In example 2, shallow-water lacustrinesedimentation is predicted. For the basin capacity and available sedimentsupply shown in this example, no very deep lakes are possible because theexcess capacity of the basin (and thus lake depth) is limited. Thus, underthese conditions, climate is a relatively unimportant control on lake depth.In example 3, deep-water lacustrine sedimentation is predicted. |
Figure 3.3.1.8. Idealized rift basin showing unconformity-boundedtectonostratigraphic packages. Thin black lines represent stratal truncationbeneath unconformities; red half-arrows represent onlaps. In eastern NorthAmerica, TS-I may not be a synrift deposit, and thus the geometry shownhere would be incorrect. TS-II is much more areally restricted and morewedge-shaped than TS-III. The transition between TS-III and TS-IV is likelyrelated to an increase in extension rate. An offset coring technique (verticalorange lines), as used in the Newark basin coring project, does not sampleTS-I and most of TS-II. A deep core (vertical yellow line) is necessaryto recover TS-I and TS-II. Modified from Olsen (1997). |
Tectonostratigraphic Packages and Basin Evolution
Olsen (1997) subdivided the synrift strata of centralAtlantic margin rift basins into four tectonostratigraphic (TS) packages(Fig. 3.3.1.6, 3.3.1.8). An individual TS package consists of all or partof a tripartite stratigraphic succession, is separated from other packagesby unconformities or correlative conformities, and generally has a differentclimatic milieu compared to other TS packages. TS-I is a Permian depositthat may or may not be synrift, whereas TS-II, TS-III, and TS-IV are LateTriassic and Early Jurassic synrift deposits (Olsen et al., 2000). The unconformities between TS-I, TS-II, and TS-III represent significantgeologic time. However, it is not yet clear if these unconformities arerelated to regional tectonic changes (e.g., pulsed extension) (Olsen, 1997)or to relatively local processes such as strain localization (a changefrom distributed extension on lots of small faults to extension on a fewlarge ones; e.g., Gupta et al., 1998) (Fig. 3.3.1.9). Given their geometryand location in the rift basin, TS-I and TS-II can generally only be sampledthrough deep coring and not the relatively shallow offset coring utilizedin the Newark basin (Section 3.3.3). The rift-onset unconformity betweenprerift rocks and various synrift units should not be taken as evidenceof regional uplift preceding rifting; rather, it more likely reflects erosionand non-deposition occurring over a topographically elevated region resultingfrom the assembly of Pangea.Figure 3.3.1.9. Stages in the evolution of a rift basin. (a)Early rifting associated with several minor, relatively isolated normalfaults. (b) Mature rifting with through-going boundary fault zone, widespreaddeposition, and footwall uplift and erosion. |
TS-III and TS-IV were deposited in much larger basinsor subbasins than was TS-II, and the unconformity between them is smallto non-existent (Olsen, 1997). TS-IV includes the widespread CAMP basaltsthat were erupted in a geologically short interval at ~202 Ma (e.g., Olsenet al., 1996; Olsen, 1999) (The CAMP basalts comprise a large-igneous provinceor L.I.P.; see Section 3.1.3). Significantly, TS-IV is absent in all ofthe southern basins of the central Atlantic margin. As discussed more fullyin Withjack et al. (1998), TS-IV was probably never deposited in this region,indicating that synrift subsidence had ceased prior to TS-IV time. [A postriftbasalt sequence, which may or may not be the same age as CAMP, is presentin the southern region and plausibly can be connected to a seaward-dippingreflector sequence at the continental margin (Oh et al., 1995). The temporaland spatial relationships of these igneous rocks is a critical coring target;see sections 4.2.1 and 4.2.2.] Also significantly, basin inversion in thesouthern basins occurred shortly prior to and during TS-IV time, whileinversion in the northern basins occurred after TS-IV time. (During TS-IVtime, the northern basins underwent accelerated subsidence; see Figure3.3.2.7). Thus, the end of rifting, the initation of inversion, and probablythe initiation of seafloor spreading are diachronous along the centralAtlantic margin (i.e., during earliest Jurassic time in the southeasternUnited States and Early to Middle Jurassic time in the northeastern UnitedStates and Maritime Canada) (Withjack et al., 1998). Coring, field analysis,and seismic-reflection profiles of synrift and immediately overlying postriftdeposits and the structures formed in them, are necessary to clarify theimportant events occurring at the rift-drift transition.
The inferred diachronous initiation of seafloor spreadingalong the present-day margin of the central North America Ocean is partof larger trend that reflects the progressive dismemberment of Pangea. As the North Atlantic Ocean continued to develop, seafloor spreading propagatednorthward. For example, seafloor spreading between the Grand Banksand southwestern Europe began during the Early Cretaceous (e.g., Srivastavaand Tapscott, 1986); seafloor spreading between Labrador and western Greenlandbegan during the early Tertiary (anomaly 27N) (e.g., Chalmers, et al.,1993); whereas seafloor spreading between eastern Greenland and northwesternEurope began slightly later during the early Tertiary (anomaly 24R) (e.g.,Talwani and Eldholm, 1977; Hinz et al., 1993).
