The origin of carbonate mud in isolated carbonate platforms of Belize, Central America

International Journal of Earth Sciences, 2002
Carbonate mud from three small isolated carbonate platforms of Belize (Central America) is largely a product of the breakdown of skeletal grains. The composition of the 63–20- and 20–4-µm fractions of 37 samples was determined by point counting under SEM; composition of the

Isolated Cretaceous Carbonate Platforms Of The Mediterranean: The Example Of Bagnolo

Proceedings, 2018
The recent discovery of Zohr and Calypso gas fields in Egypt and Cyprus offshore opened a new play concept for the Eastern Mediterranean area, focused on high-relief isolated carbonate platforms of Cretaceous age. At the present time, Cretaceous carbonate platforms can be found in very different geotectonic domains of the Mediterranean area, from rift ...

The Maldives, a giant isolated carbonate platform dominated by bottom currents

Marine and Petroleum Geology, 2013
Abstract The Maldives, a 900 km north-south trending paired chain of atolls that surround a ca. 100 km wide central basin (the Inner Sea) represent a giant isolated carbonate platform in the Indian Ocean. New reflection seismic, multibeam and acoustic Doppler current profiler data show that its development exhibits a distinct change from sea-level to

Developing Models and Analogs for Isolated Carbonate Platforms—Holocene and Pleistocene Carbonates of Caicos Platform, British West Indies

2008
Developing Models and Analogs for Isolated Carbonate Platforms-Holocene and Pleistocene Carbonates of Caicos Platform, British West Indies - For the past 30 years, Caicos Platform has been an important area for studies of Holocene and Pleistocene carbonate successions and a destination for numerous geoscientists interested in learning about modern ...

Modern Isolated Carbonate Platforms

2008
Abstract A geologic model is essential for characterization and modeling of hydrocarbon reservoirs, and depositional facies are a main parameter controlling heterogeneity in porosity and permeability. Quantification of facies attributes (size, shape, orientation, and distribution) can decrease uncertainty in a geologic model and ...

Isolated carbonate platforms of the Mediterranean and their seismic expression — Searching for a paradigm

The Leading Edge, 2018
Abstract Isolated carbonate platforms (ICPs) are spectacular features of Mediterranean geology. There has been a resurgence of interest in the resource potential of ICPs in the region following recent exploration success in this play in the eastern Mediterranean.

Magnetic Susceptibility (V) Stratigraphy and Chemostratigraphy Applied to An Isolated Carbonate Platform Reef Complex; Llucmajor Platform, Mallorca [PDF]

, 2014
Abstract Inorganic whole rock geochemical and magnetic susceptibility (χ) data have been gathered from seven sections through the Upper Miocene reef complexes of the Llucmajor Platform, Mallorca. The aim of acquiring these data is to determine what chronostratigraphic information a combination of magnetic susceptibility stratigraphy ...

Sequence development in an isolated carbonate platform (Lower Jurassic, Djebel Bou Dahar, High Atlas, Morocco): influence of tectonics, eustacy and carbonate production

Sedimentology, 2012
Six sequences, each with a distinct shape, stratal anatomy, bounding surfaces, lithofacies composition and stacking patterns, were identified in the Djebel Bou Dahar isolated carbonate platform which developed in a half-graben in the High Atlas marine ...

Rise and fall of an isolated, unstable carbonate platform: The Cambrian of Southwestern Sardinia

Geologische Rundschau, 1988
Strong effects of tensional tectonics dominate the Lower and Middle Cambrian sequence of Southwestern Sardinia. A thinning of the continental crust and the possible development of a passive margin in the Cambrian is indicated by different stages of evolution of a mainly carbonatic platform: (a) Clastic-carbonatic homoclinal ramp with algal ...

Holocene development of three isolated carbonate platforms, Belize, Central America

Marine Geology, 1998
Abstract Locally operating factors such as topography of the reef basement and exposure to waves and currents rather than regionally effective factors such as the post-glacial sea level rise in the western Atlantic explain the different Holocene developments of the three isolated carbonate platforms Glovers Reef, Lighthouse Reef, and Turneffe Islands
