Flysch: a historical perspective and the Himalayas
Earth-Science Reviews, 1994Abstract A common question asked by researchers working on orogenic belts is: what is flysch? Varied views have been presented over the years. Any thick succession of sandstone, calcarenite or conglomerate alternating with shale or mudstone, and interpreted as deposited mainly by turbidity currents or mass-flow in a deep water environment within a ...

Flysch facies and turbidite sedimentology
Sedimentary Geology, 1970Abstract The main facies of flysch in the Northern Apennines are listed, the importance of calcareous turbidites being noted. A summary is presented of Italian studies on selected sedimentologic features of the Apennines turbidites: 1. (1) Data on the occurrence of internal sedimentary structures in the turbidite rhythms, in function of thickness

Devonian-Carboniferous pre-flysch and flysch environments in the Circum Pannonian Region
2010The following Devonian—Carboniferous paleogeographic and Variscan orogenic domains were recognized in the Circum Pannonian Region: Oceanic and arc related environments – Noric Bosnian/Carnic-Dinaric Zone (carbonate dominated passive continental margins) – Inovo Zone (Devonian siliciclastic dominated stable continental margins) – Quartzphyllite ...

Attempt at classification of flysch and molasse
International Geology Review, 1966The author proposes a classification of the types of flysch and molasse based both on descriptive criteria (lithologic and stratigraphic characteristics) and on geological criteria (time and place of deposition). Three categories of flysch and molasse, are distinguished: orthoflysch, paraflysch and pseudoflysch, and correspondingly orthomolasse ...

Giant Paleodictyon in Eocene flysch
Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 2000Abstract A giant Paleodictyon gomezi with a maximum mesh diameter of 13 cm and covering more than 0.5 m2 occurs in the lower Eocene flysch near Zumaya. The giant Paleodictyon occurs with flute casts and, therefore, must have been produced deeply in the sediment.

Sedimentation in the Carpathian Flysch sea
Geologische Rundschau, 1958On the ground of the sedimentary features of the Flysch the general conditions of sedimentation in the Carpathian Flysch sea are tentatively reconstructed. It is admitted that the Carpathian Flysch has been deposited in a fairly deep basin under the influence of turbidity currents.

Mechanism of Active Landslides in Flysch
2012Triggering mechanisms and active landslide dynamics are to a large extent a function of rock and soil types involved. Among different types of active landslides in Slovenia, in the last few years, those in flysch have been of specific research interest.

THE PRE - FLYSCH AND BASAL SHALY FLYSCH DEPOSITION IN THE PARNASSUS - GHIONA ZONE, CENTRAL GREECE
2014The interruption in deposition during the K/T transition in the Parnassus-Ghiona Zone caused the formation of hardgrounds and intraformational conglomerates in the central parts. During the later part of the early Paleocene to the middle or early part of the late Paleocene a shallow sea covered central Parnassus; stromatolites formed in broad valleys ...

'Eocene flysch' of the Konavle area (SE Croatia) – is it really Eocene and is it really flysch?
2009Clastic deposits in the Konavle area are about 400 m thick, consisting of alternation of sandstone and mudstone beds with rare lensoid conglomerates beds in the upper part. The lower part of succession was deposited in the lower shoreface/off-shore transition environments with abundant amalgamated hummocky cross-stratified beds, the middle part ...

Small Landslides on the Flysch of Istria
1999This piece of work presents the small landslide occurrences in the part of the Istrian peninsula, named Grey Istria, where the Paleogene flysch sediments shaped the terrain. This is the area of the very significant exogenetic processes, like erosion and accumulation of material.
