Origin of Diapiric Shale Structures of South Louisiana: ABSTRACT

AAPG Bulletin, 1967
The intrusive diapiric shale structures of south Louisiana are related to the undercompacted shales that occur in normal stratigraphic sequence. These undercompacted shales, characterized by low density, low velocity, low resistivity, high porosity, and high formation pressure, are derived from the outer-neritic shale facies deposited on the ...

LOWER-MANTLE DIAPIRISM AS A BASIS OF THE MECHANISM OF THE FORMATION OF GEOSYNCLINE STRUCTURES

Russian Geology and Geophysics, 1993
It has been shown that mechanism of a geosyncline process consistent with the facts and theoretical principles of plate tectonics can be modelled geodynamically. The crucial factor in this mechanism is supposed to be motion of a lower-mantle thermochemical diapir through a phase transitional zone of the mantle, which leads to a classical sequence of ...

Triassic Diapiric Salt Structures, Southwestern Aquitaine Basin, France

AAPG Bulletin, 1953
ABSTRACT The Aquitaine basin of southwestern France extends 190 miles along the north side of the Pyrénées and 230 miles along the Atlantic Ocean. It spreads over 35,000 square miles and is filled with nearly 30,000 feet of sediments above the basement of pre-Hercynian rocks.

“Reflector M” and diapiric structures in the Ionian Sea (Eastern Mediterranean)

Marine Geology, 1982
Abstract The nature of reflector M as well as its geographical distribution in the Ionian Sea is reviewed. Based on the results of “Meteor” cruise no.50 the published “diapiric structures” from the Ionian Sea are criticized. The author concludes that neither diapirs associated with the Messinian evaporites nor diapir-like subbottom structures ...

WOOLNOUGH HILLS AND MADLEY DIAPIRIC STRUCTURES, GIBSON DESERT W.A.

The APEA Journal, 1967
A diapiric origin is indicated for several domal structures with arcuately linear trends, in the western Gibson Desert, Western Australia. The most prominent of these trends is approximately latitudinal, although a minor trend north of Woodnough Hills, is north to northeasterly.

Diapiric and Associated Structures on the Sabana de Bogota, Colombia: ABSTRACT

AAPG Bulletin, 1965
Several diapiric and related salt structures are located on the Sabana de Bogota, an elevated rolling upland 2,500 to 3,000 meters above sea-level in the central part of the Cordillera Oriental. The structures, which are exposed in locally exploited salt mines, are composed of salt and interbedded euxinic shales of late Triassic or Jurassic age.
