3D Quantification of Subsidence During Pyrenean Retro‐Wedge Initiation: Role of Structural and Thermal Inheritance on Hyperextended Margin Inversion (Aquitaine Basin)

open access: yesTerra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We present novel 3D subsidence data enabling vertical movements' quantification during the early formation of the Pyrenean retro‐wedge. From Cenomanian to Turonian times, subsidence is relatively low (~26 ± 10 m/Myr), corresponding to a brief 10 Myr thermal re‐equilibration of the European lithosphere following the hyperextended rift episode ...

Eustatic and tectonic controls on mixed carbonate‐siliciclastic ramp deposits in the South Pyrenean foreland basin: The Eocene Alveolina Limestone

open access: yesThe Depositional Record
Palaeogene depositional systems in the South Pyrenean foreland were influenced by eustatic sea level changes, compressive and salt tectonics, as well as biotic and environmental changes during and after the Palaeocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM ...

Physical simulation of hydrocarbon migration and accumulation in transport systems of allochthonous salt sheet development zone: a case study of Perdido Fold Belt in Burgos Basin, Gulf of Mexico

open access: yesShiyou shiyan dizhi
The Burgos Basin is a typical salt passive continental margin basin in the western Gulf of Mexico, rich in oil and gas resources. The allochthonous salt sheet development zone in the Perdido Fold Belt of the Burgos Basin has formed an oil and gas ...

A study of tectonic activity in the Basin-Range Province and on the San Andreas Fault. No. 1: Kinematics of Basin-Range intraplate extension [PDF]

open access: yes
Strain rates assessed from brittle fracture and total brittle-ductile deformation measured from geodetic data were compared to estimates of paleo-strain from Quaternary geology for the intraplate Great Basin part of the Basin-Range, western United States.

Tectonic Geomorphology of Iran’s Salt Structures

open access: yesOpen Journal of Geology, 2015
Iran has a various salt structures that their tectonic geomorphology is subject of this paper. Geologic situation of salt structures in Iran have determinate. According to age and geological setting of salt deposits that revealed by tectonic geomorphology methods, salt structure provinces of the Central and Southern Iran have been distinguished.

An archean suture zone in the Tobacco Root Mountains? (1984) Evolution of Archean Continental Crust, SW Montana (1985) [PDF]

open access: yes
The Lake Plateau area of the Beartooth Mountains, Montana were mapped and geochemically sampled. The allochthonous nature of the Stillwater Complex was interpreted as a Cordilleran-style continental margin.

Sustained eruptions on Enceladus explained by turbulent dissipation in tiger stripes

open access: yes, 2016
Spacecraft observations suggest that the plumes of Saturn's moon Enceladus draw water from a subsurface ocean, but the sustainability of conduits linking ocean and surface is not understood.

Kinematics of regional salt flow in the northern Gulf of Mexico [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
International audienceThe kinematics of regional-scale salt flow in the northern Gulf of Mexico is analysed using: (i) a map of shelf-break contours at the termination of successive depositional episodes; (ii) the location and geometry of large-scale ...

Salt Tectonics in the Southern Iran

open access: yesInternational Journal of Geosciences, 2016
Based on geographic distribution and geological setting of salt plugs in southern Iran, three salt diapiric provinces have been distinguished. These provinces include the Hormuz, Shiraz-Kazerun and Nyriz-Jahrum sub-basins. There are more than hundred salt plugs which they have been formed and developed in the southern margin of Iran.
