The association of radiolarite with Red Ammonite, Majolica, and black shale is explained by mass-flow deposits in this geographic feature.
The association of radiolarite with Red Ammonite, Majolica, and black shale is explained by mass-flow deposits in this geographic feature. The Troodos Mountains originate in this geographic feature, as do the limestone and marble deposits that comprise Mt. Hymettus. This feature was first hypothesized by Eduard Suess as an explanation for fossilized Brachiopods found in the Bellerophon Formation of the southern Tyrol. This feature disappeared as part of the process that gave rise to the Alpine Orogeny: that process was the northward drift of what is now India and its collision with the Cimmerian Plate. For 10 points, name this ocean that separated Gondwana from Laurasia during the Mesozoic Era, vestiges of which include the Caspian and the Mediterranean seas.
