Outcrop and subsurface characterisation of a mixed tidal and wave‐influenced coastline (Triassic Red Beds, SE Spain)

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Paralic depositional systems are complex and heterogeneous sedimentary environments, presenting challenges for predicting reservoir architecture and connectivity. Their stratigraphic and facies variability arises from the dynamic interplay between fluvial, tidal and wave processes, and their sensitivity to sea‐level fluctuations, sediment ...

Uranium Redox and Deposition Transitions Embedded in Deep‐Time Geochemical Models and Mineral Chemistry Networks

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
Uranium (U) is an important global energy resource and a redox sensitive trace element that reflects changing environmental conditions and geochemical cycling. The redox evolution of U mineral chemistry can be interrogated to understand the formation and

Drowned carbonate‐rimmed margin controlling shelf‐edge delta progradation and sedimentation dynamics: Upper Cretaceous Woodbine Formation, Texas, USA

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Shelf‐edge deltas are commonly interpreted to record basinward facies migration across uninterrupted, gently dipping shelf margins; however, examples from mixed siliciclastic‐carbonate margins reveal more complex depositional dynamics. Periods and areas of carbonate sedimentation within mixed siliciclastic‐carbonate margins can modify shelf ...

Geology, fluid inclusions, mineral and (S-O) isotope chemistry of the Badran orogenic Au deposit, Yana-Kolyma belt, eastern Siberia: implications for ore genesis

Frontiers in Earth Science
The Badran orogenic gold deposit is located in the Yana-Kolyma belt, Eastern Siberia; it has proven reserves of ∼9.3 t of gold and an average grade of 7.8 ppm. The total gold production at the Badran deposit since 1984 amounts to ∼34 t.

Mantle structural geology from seismic anisotropy

, 1999
Seismic anisotropy is a ubiquitous feature of the subcontinental mantle. This can be inferred both from direct seismic observations of shear wave splitting from teleseismic shear waves, as well as the petrofabric analyses of mantle nodules from kimberlite pipes. The anisotropy is principally due to the strain-induced lattice preferred orientation (LPO)

The participation of ilmenite-bearing cumulates in lunar mantle overturn [PDF]

, 2019
The ilmenite-bearing cumulates (IBC) formed from the solidification of the lunar magma ocean are thought to have significantly affected the long-term evolution of the lunar interior and surface. Their high density is considered to trigger Rayleigh–Taylor

Fault‐Controlled Permeability: A Key Parameter in Geothermal Electricity Production Assessment

Terra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Geothermal energy is central to the global green energy transition, but its development has long focused on regions with positive thermal anomalies. Through a semi‐quantitative global‐scale review and spatial analysis of 361 geothermal sites, we show that 56.2% of global geothermal electricity production occurs in regions with thermal ...

Petrological features of Subei Basin (Eastern China) lithospheric mantle and their relationships with H2O contents in NAMs [PDF]

, 2010
The Subei basin is located east of the Tanlu fault, a major discontinuity which separates the Archean North China Craton from the Proterozoic Yangtze Craton.

Salt Range Formation of Pakistan Preserves Unique Record of Volcanic Fertilization During the Ediacaran Shuram Excursion

Terra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Thin, discontinuous, organic‐rich oil shale beds in the siliciclastic‐evaporitic Salt Range Formation (SRF) of Pakistan are of approximate Neoproterozoic to Cambrian age based on stratigraphic constraints. The beds are enriched (26–43 wt.% total organic carbon, TOC) in aliphatic organic matter (OM) of low thermal maturity despite their ...

Petroleum geology controlled by extensive detachment thinning of continental margin crust: A case study of Baiyun sag in the deep-water area of northern South China Sea

Petroleum Exploration and Development, 2018
The relationships between crustal stretching and thinning, basin structure and petroleum geology in Baiyun deep-water area were analyzed using large area 3D seismic, gravity, magnetic, ocean bottom seismic (OBS), deep-water exploration wells and ...
