Salt tectonics at the margins of young oceans
Geotectonics, 2016The paper is devoted to salt tectonics in marginal oceanic salt-dome basins and is based on a wide synthesis of the literature and the author’s data. For the first time, the general pattern of global distribution of these basins has been illustrated by a map.

Interactions Between Salt Tectonics and Crustal Tectonics in The Mediterranean
2023The deposition during the Messinian Salinity Crisis (MSC, 5.96 – 5.33 My) of a thick layer of evaporites and especially of a mobile halite unit has deeply influenced the architecture and evolution of the Mediterranean margins. The Mediterranean has characteristics that set it apart from most “classic” salt ...

Salt tectonics is the study of how and why salt structures evolve and the three-dimensional forms that result. A fascinating branch of geology in itself, salt tectonics is also vitally important to the petroleum industry. Covering the entire scale from the microscopic to the continental, this textbook is an unrivalled consolidation of all topics ...

Abstract The conceptual breakthroughs in understanding salt tectonics can be recognized by reviewing the history of salt tectonics, which divides naturally into three parts: the pioneering era, the fluid era, and the brittle era. The pioneering era(1856-1933) featured the search for a general hypothesis of salt ...

Abstract This paper describes a common type of salt wall found in extensional regimes which possess the characteristics: cover strata truncated against both flanks; an asymmetric appearance in cross-section caused by normal fault-related growth patterns; and at least one unconformity and onlap surface separating strata which are tilted in ...

Compressional salt tectonics (Angolan margin)
Tectonophysics, 2004Abstract We present an analysis of compressional deformation at the front of a gravity spreading system above salt using seismic data from the Angolan margin and laboratory experiments. The geological setting and structural zonation is briefly reviewed and illustrated with two cross sections parallel to the margin slope in the Kwanza Basin ...

Model Studies of Salt-Dome Tectonics
AAPG Bulletin, 1955ABSTRACT In a great many models constructed of various materials and analyzed in accordance with the theory of scale models, asphalt was the most nearly satisfactory material found to represent the salt, and weak muds of greater density than the asphalt were found to be best suited to represent the sedimentary overburden above the ...
