Three episodes of 600–190 Ma rift tholeiites: lower and upper Paleozoic and Mesozoic.
1 Ga subcontinental lithospheric mantle source for Neoproterozoic–Ordovician.
1 Ga + juvenile mantle source for 365–330 Ma and 210–190 Ma mafic rocks.
Alternation of rifting and underthrusting related to variations in Beniof zone dip.
