Salt tectonics refers to structural deformation involving bodies composed of evaporite minerals. The Dutch subsurface is characterized by a thick sequence of Zechstein salt deposited during the Late Permian. Its deformation in response to several tectonic phases had a pronounced influence on Meso-Cenozoic tectonostratigraphic and depositional evolution.

How Fast Can Minibasins Translate Down a Slope? Observations from 2D Numerical Models
Tektonika, 2023 Minibasins are important features in salt-bearing basins and are abundant in salt-detached continental slopes where the salt and the overlying sedimentary cover (including minibasins) undergo seaward translation due to gravity.

Contribution of gravity gliding in salt-bearing rift basins – a new experimental setup for simulating salt tectonics under the influence of sub-salt extension and tilting [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2021 Basin-scale salt flow and the evolution of salt structures in rift basins is mainly driven by sub- and supra-salt faulting and sedimentary loading. Crustal extension is often accompanied and followed by thermal subsidence leading to tilting of the graben

Growth history of fault-related folds and interaction with seabed channels in the toe-thrust region of the deep-water Niger delta [PDF]
, 2015 The deep-water fold and thrust belt of the southern Niger Delta has prominent thrusts and folds oriented perpendicular to the regional slope that formed as a result of the thin-skinned gravitational collapse of the delta above overpressured shale.

Salt tectonics evolution in the Provençal Basin, Western Mediterranean Sea
BSGF - Earth Sciences BulletinThe Messinian Salt Giant in the Provençal Basin represents a good example to study salt tectonics: salt deposition occurred throughout the basin well after basin opening, with a tectonic context stable since ∼16 Ma, in a closed system. Also, the youth of
