Structural Restorations of the Complete Conjugate US‐Mexico Eastern Gulf of Mexico Margin
Tectonics, Volume 43, Issue 1, January 2024.Abstract We present the first sequential structural restoration with flexural backstripping of the Gulf of Mexico US‐Mexico conjugate margin salt basin. We construct four large‐scale (100s of km) balanced, sequential structural restorations to investigate spatio‐temporal patterns of subsidence, geometry of the original salt basin, feedbacks between ...

Controls on variations in minibasin geometries: Lower Congo Basin, offshore Angola
, 2019 In passive margin salt basins, the distinct tectonic domains of thin-skinned extension and contraction exert important controls on the geometry and evolution of minibasins. In this study, we use a semi-regional 3D seismic dataset from the Lower Congo Basin to investigate the spatial and temporal evolution of a network of salt-related minibasins and ...

Characterization of Oligo-Miocene evaporite-rich minibasins in the Sivas Basin, Turkey
Marine and Petroleum Geology, 2019 Abstract The Sivas Basin in Turkey displays in its central part an Oligo-Miocene halokinetic province which acts as a major outcrop analogue to study salt-sediment interactions. Based on field geology observations, the present paper focuses on the geometry and sedimentology of several minibasins having the particularity of being mainly filled by ...

Basin Research, 2019 Abstract Salt‐detached gravity gliding/spreading systems having a rugose base‐of‐salt display complex strain patterns. However, little was previously known about how welding of supra‐salt minibasins to the sub‐salt may influence both the downslope translation of minibasins on salt‐detached slopes and the regional pattern of supra‐salt
