Abstract Detailed interpretation of multi-channel seismic reflection profiles showed that the deposition of the Miocene successions in the Cilicia–Adana basin complex occurred within a foredeep, south of the arcuate Tauride fold–thrust belt. The Misis–Kyrenia fault zone defined the northernmost of a number of smaller thrust culminations developed ...

Compositions of Sandstones in Circum-Pacific Subduction Complexes and Fore-Arc Basins
AAPG Bulletin, 1982ABSTRACT Arc-trench systems of the circum-Pacific orogenic belt contain voluminous sandstones within fore-arc terranes that include complexly deformed subduction complexes and relatively undeformed fore-arc basins of several types. Turbidites incorporated within subduction complexes include not only axially transported trench fill ...

Giant slide deposits from a Mesozoic fore-arc basin, Alexander Island, Antarctica
Geology, 1993Several very large synsedimentary slide units exist in the well-exposed Mesozoic fore-arc sequence of Alexander Island, Antarctica. The largest single exposure, which is at least 440 m thick and more than 21 by 6 km in area, forms part of a unit that has a volume of as much as 300 km3.

Biogeochemical profiles in deep sedimentary rocks in an inland fore-arc basin, Central Japan
Chemical Geology, 2009Abstract Microorganisms thrive in the deep subsurface, but their extent and distribution, type and rate of metabolism are not well constrained, at least in part, owing to geochemical, lithological, hydrological and tectonic variations. We obtained deep sedimentary rocks from a tectonically stable inland basin in central Japan by drilling with ...

Polyphase Deformation in a Fore-Arc/Back-Arc Basin, Salin Subbasin, Myanmar (Burma)
AAPG Bulletin, 1998ABSTRACT The Salin subbasin of Myanmar (part of the larger Central basin) is a fore-arc/back-arc basin couplet situated between an oblique subduction zone to the west and a major right-lateral strike-slip fault to the east. Surface and subsurface expressions of folds and faults suggest that the basin experienced north-northwest ...

Provenance of Xigaze fore-arc basin clastic rocks (Cretaceous, south Tibet)
Geological Society of America Bulletin, 1996The Xigaze Group of south Tibet was deposited in a fore-arc basin produced by northward subduction of the Neotethys under Eurasia during middle Cretaceous time. Clasts of andesite from the Gangdese magmatic belt to the north and limestone clasts from a shelf rimming the basin to the north are the near exclusive detrital components in the Xigaze Group ...

Geological Society of America Bulletin, 1995
The modern Sacramento Valley intermontane basin is the successor to a deformed Mesozoic-Tertiary fore-arc basin. Based on analysis of seismic reflection profiles, drill hole data, and surface mapping, we propose a model for progressive arcward contraction of the fore-arc basin in the Rumsey Hills region, southwestern Sacramento Valley, beginning in ...

Franciscan-Knoxville Problem: Relationship Between an Accretionary Prism and Adjacent Fore-Arc Basin
AAPG Bulletin, 1983ABSTRACT The relationship between the Franciscan complex and Knoxville shales in the Californian Coast Ranges has been the subject of debate for a considerable period of time. Initially, gradational and unconformable relationships for the contact were proposed.

Sandstone within the Late Cretaceous forearc basin of northern and central California displays vertical and horizontal compositional variations that facilitate stratigraphic correlation and reveal provenance characteristics. Four Sacramento Valley petrofacies, three San Joaquin petrofacies, and two late Late Cretaceous petrofacies that occur in both ...

The pattern of sediment distribution within the Manila Trench subduction zone west of Luzon exerts a strong influence on the tectonic evolution of the accretionary prism and the fore arc basins of this convergent plate margin. Multichannel common depth point seismic reflection data reveal up to 2600 m of turbidite sediments overlying a thin pelagic ...
