Climate conditions on the South‐Iberian Palaeomargin during the latest Pliensbachian to early Toarcian: A mineralogical and geochemical study from hemipelagic deposits

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The integrated analysis of lithofacies, mineralogy and geochemistry of the hemipelagic marine succession exposed in La Cerradura section (South‐Iberian Palaeomargin) provides new information to characterise the palaeoenvironmental conditions during the latest Pliensbachian to early Toarcian, including the Jenkyns Event.

Geology and Petroleum Systems of the Offshore Benin Basin (Benin) Géologie et système pétrolier du bassin offshore du Benin (Benin)

Oil & Gas Science and Technology, 2012
This paper summarizes the tectonosedimentary development and petroleum system of the Offshore Benin Basin (OBB). In accordance with structural development, the stratigraphic succession of this basin was divided into 4 sequences: pre-rift (up to Late ...

2D Sequential Restoration and Basin Evolution of the Wichianburi Sub-basin, Phetchabun Basin, Central Thailand

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020
The Wichianburi Sub-basin is currently the only productive area in the southern part of the Phetchabun Basin, central Thailand. It is structurally dominated by NNW-SSE to NNE-SSW trending normal faults as a result of multistage rifting since the Late ...

Interaction of crustal heterogeneity and lithospheric processes in determining passive margin architecture on the southern Namibian margin [PDF]

, 2017
The influence of pre-rift crustal heterogeneity and structure on the evolution of a continental rift and its subsequent passive margin is explored. The absence of thick Aptian salts in the Namibian South Atlantic allows imaging of sufficient resolution ...

Evolution Model for the Paleoproterozoic Talvivaara Mudstone‐Hosted Ni‐Zn‐Cu‐Co Deposit in Fennoscandia

Terra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Paleoproterozoic Talvivaara mudstone is a very large sulfidic Ni‐Co deposit that records enhanced organic matter accumulation during the global Shunga Event. Here, rock geochemistry and microscale S and Fe isotope composition of in situ pyrrhotites and pyrites are studied in well‐characterised, well‐preserved drill core samples.

Isotope geochemistry and petrogenesis of peralkaline Middle Miocene ignimbrites from central Sonora: relationship with continental break-up and the birth of the Gulf of California [PDF]

, 2008
Middle Miocene peralkaline ignimbrites constitute a specific geodynamic marker of the early stage of opening of the Gulf of California, preserved either in central Sonora or the Puertecitos area, in Baja California.

The Seismic Expression of Core Complex‐Style Extensional Detachment Faults in Rifted Margins

Terra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The identification of core complex‐style extensional detachment faults (CCDFs) in rifted margins is crucial for accurately restoring their stratigraphic and thermal histories. Yet recognising CCDFs in seismic reflection images is challenging due to their faint topographic expression; the lack of associated abrupt offset in seismic reflections;

Ductile Extrusion Triggered by Continental Collision in NE Brazil

Terra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Borborema Province in northeastern Brazil hosts one of the world's largest strike‐slip shear zone networks, active during the late Neoproterozoic assembly of West Gondwana. Whether these shear zones initiated during active continental collision or as a post‐orogenic response to far‐field stresses remains debated.

Tectonic Rift-Related Manganese Mineralization System and Its Geophysical Signature in the Nanpanjiang Basin

Remote Sensing
The southeastern Yunnan region in the southwestern Nanpanjiang Basin is one of the most important manganese enrichment zones in China. Manganese mineralization is mainly confined to marine mud–sand–carbonate interbeds of the Middle Triassic Ladinian ...
