Concerts Geologists and other Earth scientists agree in general that the present Gulf of Mexico basin originated in Late Triassic time as the result of rifting within Pangea the rifting was associated with zones of weakness within Pangea including sutures where the Laurentia South American and African plates collided to create it First there was a Late Triassic-Early Jurassic phase of rifting during which rift valleys formed and filled with continental red beds Second as rifting progressed through Early and Middle Jurassic time continental crust was stretched and thinned This thinning created a broad zone of transitional crust which displays modest and uneven thinning with block faulting and a broad zone of uniformly thinned transitional crust which is half the typical 40 kilometer thickness of normal continental crust it was at this time that rifting first created a connection to the Pacific Ocean across central Mexico and later eastward to the Atlantic Ocean This flooded the opening basin to create the Gulf of Mexico as an enclosed marginal sea While the Gulf of Mexico was a restricted basin the subsiding transitional crust was blanketed by the widespread deposition of Louann Salt and associated anhydrite evaporites During the Late Jurassic continued rifting widened the Gulf of Mexico and progressed to the point that sea-floor spreading and formation of oceanic crust occurred at this point sufficient circulation with the Atlantic Ocean was established that the deposition of Louann Salt ceased. Seafloor spreading stopped at the end of Jurassic time about 145-150 million years ago; ; Cockrell Butterfly Area Houston Museum of Natural Science, On July 26 2003 the Greater Houston Convention and Visitors Bureau started "The Neighborhoods Alive: Houston's Multicultural Tour," a bus tour throughout several neighborhoods in inner Houston the tour's destinations included Downtown Houston the First Ward the Second Ward the Third Ward the Sixth Ward East Downtown and Midtown Two later bookings those for August 23 2003 and September 2003 quickly sold out Therefore the bureau added six more dates on short notice, (39) 103 Contents Exploiting poor American naval command decisions the German navy ravaged Allied shipping off the American Atlantic coast by November 1941 Commonwealth forces had launched a counter-offensive Operation Crusader in North Africa and reclaimed all the gains the Germans and Italians had made in North Africa the Germans launched an offensive in January pushing the British back to positions at the Gazala Line by early February followed by a temporary lull in combat which Germany used to prepare for their upcoming offensives. Concerns the Japanese might use bases in Vichy-held Madagascar caused the British to invade the island in early May 1942 an Axis offensive in Libya forced an Allied retreat deep inside Egypt until Axis forces were stopped at El Alamein on the Continent raids of Allied commandos on strategic targets culminating in the disastrous Dieppe Raid demonstrated the Western Allies' inability to launch an invasion of continental Europe without much better preparation equipment and operational security.[page needed]. . . .
