North Sea Rift and Basin Development

1978
The intracratonic Mesozoic North Sea rift formed part of the Arctic-North Atlantic rift system, which was emplaced during the Upper Paleozoic. Carboniferous and Permian rifts in the North Sea became inactive at the onset of the Mesozoic. During the Triassic a new complex graben and trough system formed in NW Europe.

Midplate Seismicity Exterior to Former Rift-Basins

Seismological Research Letters, 1988
Abstract Midplate seismicity associated with some former rift-zones is distributed diffusely near, but exterior to, the rift basins. This “basin-exterior” seismicity cannot be attributed to reactivation of major basin-border faults on which upper-crustal extension was concentrated at the time of rifting, because the border faults dip ...

Chapter 7. Albertine Rift basin deltas

Geological Society, London, Memoirs
One of the most obvious geomorphological features that can form at a coastline is a delta. In the Albertine Rift, at the long-axial shorelines of lakes away from rift-border faults at the basin flanks, and where there is a gentle, offshore topographic dip to the rift valley floor, then a long-axial delta system (LADS) can form.

Hydrocarbon Discoveries in Melut Rift Basin, Sudan

GEO 2010, 2010
Melut Basin is one of the extensional Sudanese interior rift basin located in the upper Nile State southeast of Sudan. The basin is characterized by three rift phases started from early Cretaceous, late Cretaceous and mid Tertiary. The sedimentary infill of Melut basin was dominated by continental siliclastic sediments deposited mainly in lacustrine ...

Hydrocarbon Potential of Intracratonic Rift Basins: ABSTRACT

AAPG Bulletin, 1984
Significant world oil reserves have been added in recent years from rift systems. Examples of petroliferous rift basins may be found on nearly every major continent. As our understanding of the mechanisms of sedimentation and structure in rift basins grows, more rift systems will be found. With a few notable exceptions, rifts that have been explored in

Depositional Framework of a Triassic Rift Basin

1986
AbstractDuring the Early Mesozoic, tectonic activity caused the breakup and separation of the North American and African continental plates, initiating the opening of the Atlantic Ocean. This process is generally referred to as rifting, but there was a strong component of strike-slip movement associated with transform faults (Manspeizer, 1981).

Stratigraphic and sedimentological models of rift basins

1998
This chapter reviews models for the stratigraphic and sedimentological evolution of rift basins at the basin scale and at the half-graben or facies model scale. Different models have been presented for the geotec- tonic evolution of rifts (pure shear, simple shear, heterogeneous stretching and volcanic- or plume-related rifts) and these are reviewed ...
