The geometry, sedimentary filling and depth estimate of the Mirandiba Basin, Pernambuco, Brazil: new insights about the depositional regional gap of rift phases in the interior basins

Journal of the Geological Survey of Brazil, 2021
The Mirandiba Basin has a well-defined stratigraphic sequence and its sedimentation may be directly correlated with the Jatobá Basin and some other interior basins.

Complex rift geometries resulting from inheritance of pre-existing structures: Insights and regional implications from the Barmer Basin rift [PDF]

, 2014
Structural studies of the Barmer Basin in Rajasthan, northwest India, demonstrate the important effect that pre-existing faults can have on the geometries of evolving fault systems at both the outcrop and basin-scale.

Asymmetric continental deformation during South Atlantic rifting along southern Brazil and Namibia [PDF]

, 2017
Plate restoration of South America and Africa to their pre-breakup position faces the problem of gaps and overlaps between the continents, an issue commonly solved with implementing intra-plate deformation zones within South America.

Neogene Development of the Terror Rift, Western Ross Sea, Antarctica

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021
The Terror Rift is a 350 km‐long, 50–70 km‐wide, north‐trending deep basin in the western Ross Sea, adjacent to the Transantarctic Mountains. The Terror Rift lies within the broader Victoria Land Basin, which experienced 100 km of a mid‐Cenozoic ...

Basin inversion: reactivated rift structures in the central Ligurian Sea revealed using ocean bottom seismometers [PDF]

Solid Earth, 2021
The northern margin of the Ligurian Basin shows notable seismicity at the Alpine front, including frequent magnitude 4 events. Seismicity decreases offshore towards the Basin centre and Corsica, revealing a diffuse distribution of low-magnitude ...

Formation and Evolution of Supradetachment Basins During Continental Extension: Insights From the Fuxin Basin in NE China

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
Supradetachment basins can record the stratigraphy and development of metamorphic core complexes (MCCs). The Fuxin supradetachment basin, which lies immediately to the west of the Yiwulvshan MCC in NE China, provides an excellent opportunity to establish
