title: Molasse facies: records of worldwide crustal stresses.
abstract: Predominantly nonmarine molasse deposits in the Tethyan and Cordilleran mobile belts record major variations in orogenic activity in latest Cretaceous to earliest Cenozoic, mid-Cenozoic, and latest Cenozoic time. During the same intervals changes in activity also occurred on the sea floor. This coincidence suggests worldwide effects of movement of crustal plates.
