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.

Influence of salt in the tectonic development of the frontal thrust belt of the eastern Cordillera (Guatiquía area, Colombian Andes) [PDF]
, 2015 Geological maps, seismic lines and data from a dry exploration well are used to develop a new structural model for a segment of the eastern foothills of the Eastern Cordillera of Colombia, emphasizing the role of salt tectonics.

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.

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.
