Syn-Depositional Halokinesis in the Zechstein Supergroup (Lopingian) Controls Triassic Minibasin Genesis and Location

Basin Research, 2022
Salt tectonics is typically caused by the flow of mobile evaporites in response to post-depositional gravity gliding and/or differential loading by overburden sediments. This situation is considerably more complex near the margins of salt basins, where carbonate and clastic rocks may be deposited at the same time and interbedded with more mobile ...

Jurassic rifting to post-rift subsidence analysis in the Central High Atlas and its relation to salt diapirism [PDF]

, 2016
et. al.The subsidence evolution of the Tethyan Moroccan Atlas Basin, presently inverted as the Central High Atlas, is characterized by an Early Jurassic rifting episode, synchronous with salt diapirism of the Triassic evaporite-bearing rocks.

Salt tectonics and controls on halokinetic-sequence development of an exposed deepwater diapir: The Bakio Diapir, Basque-Cantabrian Basin, Pyrenees [PDF]

, 2021
This work evaluates growth strata adjacent to the Bakio Diapir in the Basque Pyrenees, aiming to discuss the application of halokinetic-sequence concepts, mainly developed in shallow-water to subaerial environments, to deepwater depositional settings ...

Geology of the Central High Atlas diapiric province (Rich-Imilchil): a cartographic synthesis

Journal of Maps
We present a geological map of the Central High Atlas of Morocco (excluding the mountain fronts), illustrating a structure consisting of narrow ridges of lower Jurassic carbonates, occasionally cored by Triassic Keuper rocks and basalt, or by mid-late ...

3D modelling from outcrop data in a salt tectonic context: Example from the Inceyol mini-basin, Sivas Basin, Turkey [PDF]

, 2016
International audienceWe propose a 3D modelling strategy of the encased mini-basin of Inceyol in Sivas (Turkey). The challenge lies in the combination of sparse outcrop data and the complex interpretive geometry of geological structures that comes from ...

Influence of Minibasin Obstruction on Canopy Dynamics in the northern Gulf of Mexico

Basin Research, 2020
Abstract In salt‐detached gravity‐gliding/spreading systems the detachment geometry is a key control on the downslope mobility of the supra‐salt sequence. Here, we used regional 3D seismic data to examine a salt‐stock canopy in the northern Gulf of Mexico slope, in an area where supra‐canopy minibasins subsided vertically and ...

Pockmarks, Mud Volcanoes and Hydrocarbon Seeps in the Northern Gulf of Mexico: Trends and Controls on Widespread Fluid and Gas Venting

Basin Research, Volume 38, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Basin‐scale dataset reveals widespread hydrocarbon venting at the seafloor in the northern Gulf of Mexico. Hydrocarbon release at the seafloor is related to the occurrence of the underlying Louann salt and the gas hydrate stability zone. ABSTRACT The release of hydrocarbons, pore water and fluidized sediments impacts seafloor morphology, marine ...

Diapiric ridges and minibasins in the Central High Atlas: impact on geometries and facies distribution (Lower-Middle Jurassic, Morocco)

BSGF - Earth Sciences Bulletin
The Central High Atlas of Morocco is the result of the Alpine tectonic inversion of an intracontinental Mesozoic basin, the infill of which started with thick Upper Triassic clay and evaporite deposition.

Origin and anatomy of two different types of mass-transport complexes: a 3D seismic case study from the northern South China Sea margin [PDF]

, 2014
Integration of 2D and 3D seismic data from the Qiongdongnan Basin along the northwestern South China Sea margin has enabled the seismic stratigraphy, seismic geomorphology and emplacement mechanisms of eight separate, previously undocumented, mass ...
