Phylogenetic studies of present-day terrestrial organisms suggest that faunal dispersals between South America and the Greater Antilles may have occurred during the Cenozoic through the Lesser Antilles. However, because of the lack of geological data to unravel the areas that may have emerged along the Lesser Antilles trench, the migration...

An integrated stratigraphic study was conducted on the shallow water carbonate platforms of the Guadeloupe archipelago to refine the tectonic evolution of the Lesser Antilles forearc. The carbonate platforms are now dated to the Zanclean-Calabrian interval, and their demise occurred between 1.5 and 1.07 Ma. The precise chronostratigraphy allows...

The Karukéra spur is an easternmost submerged rise of the Lesser Antilles fore-arc in the Guadeloupe archipelago, culminating about 4000 m above the fore-arc basin 150 km west of the deformation front. The analysis of 3500 km 2D high-resolution multichannel seismic reflection and multibeam bathymetric data, and the study of 14 core samples,...
