Three-dimensional evolution of salt-controlled minibasins: Interactions, folding and megaflap development [PDF]
AAPG Bulletin, 2016 A megaflap, or an overturned, folded, sedimentary-basin edge, is a classic feature of salt-controlled basins, formed during the inception of salt allochthony. To illustrate the relative importance of the balance between salt and sediment inputs, basin rheology, and tectonism resulting from basin interactions in the development of megaflaps, a set of ...

Present-day stress orientations and tectonic provinces of the NW Borneo collisional margin [PDF]
, 2010 Extent: 15p.Borehole failure observed on image and dipmeter logs from 55 petroleum wells across the NW Borneo collisional margin were used to determine maximum horizontal stress (σH) orientations; combined with seismic and outcrop data, they define seven

Spatial and temporal variations in minibasin geometry and evolution in salt tectonic provinces: Lower Congo Basin, offshore Angola [PDF]
, 2021 In passive margin salt basins, the distinct kinematic domains of thin‐skinned extension, translation and contraction exert important controls on minibasin evolution. However, the relationship between various salt minibasin geometries and kinematic domain

Inversion of transfer zones in salt-bearing extensional systems: insights from analogue modeling [PDF]
, 2023 This work uses sandbox analogue models to analyze the formation and subsequent inversion of a decoupled extensional system comprised of two segmented half-grabens with thick early syn-rift salt.

Geology of the Central Sivas Basin (Turkey)
Journal of Maps, 2019 This paper presents a revised geological map at the 1/50,000 scale of the Central Sivas Basin together with a synthetic stratigraphic chart and cross-sections. The map covers an area of approximately 9840 km² within the Eastern Anatolian orogen.
