High-frequency carbonate-siliciclastic cycles in the Miocene of the Lorca BASIN (Western Mediterranean, SE Spain) [PDF]
The upper Miocene Parilla Formation, Lorca Basin, Spain, provides an example of stacked high-frequency cycles of mixed carbonates and siliciclastics. Cycles developed on a steep carbonate ramp bordering an alluvialfan system.

Facies, stratigraphy, and evolution of a middle Ediacaran carbonate ramp: Khufai Formation, Sultanate of Oman [PDF]
The Khufai Formation is the oldest carbonate platform of the Cryogenian to lowermost Cambrian Huqf Supergroup. A stratigraphic characterization of this unit includes detailed facies descriptions, a sequence-stratigraphic interpretation, and evaluation of

The carbonate ramps developed at the postrift depositional stage have become a major field of ultradeep hydrocarbon exploration. Taking the Lower Cambrian Xiaoerblak Formation in the Tarim Basin as an example, the paleotectonic framework and lithofacies ...

From shallow-water carbonate ramp to hemipelagic deep-marine carbonate deposition: Part 3. Lithostratigraphy and Formations of the Middle to Late Anisian Bulog sedimentary successions (Bulog Group) in the Dinarides (Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro) [PDF]
In the Middle Anisian the opening of the Neo‐Tethys started and this is characterized by a significant change in deposition in the whole Western Tethys Realm.

Past shallow-water carbonate environments of the main island of New Caledonia (NC) have been subject to high terrigenous influx derived from the erosion of ultramafic obducted nappes and are therefore a relevant case study for characterizing neritic ...

Usage of microbial mats in depostional environment interpretation and sea level changes: A study of carbonate deposits of members 1 to 2 of the Mila Group (Deh-Sufiyan Formation) in Central Alborz [PDF]
Carbonate deposits of members 1 to 2 of the Mila Group (Middle Cambrian) in Central Alborz that call Deh-Sufiyan Formation in this research, were studied in Shahmirzad, Tueh-Darvar, Mila-Kuh and Deh-Molla sections. These sediments were deposited in four
