This is the Home Page of the notes on the "Basic Principles on Foredeep & Foldbelt Basins ". If you click on the interlinks (underlined text and bots), you can navigate and you will find a text and the majority of the plates shown during the course.

If you don't see on this seismic line, the closure of an ocean limiting two old continents located in two old different lithospheric plates, as well as two major seismic surfaces (downlap surfaces) in which potential marine source-rocks marine are likely, you really need to read these notes, in which the author is entirely responsible of the proposed geological interpretations of the seismic lines.
