The Middle and Lower Cambrian salt tectonics in the central Tarim Basin, China: A case study based on strike-slip fault characterization

open access: yesEnergy Geoscience
Due to the considerable depth of the salt layers and the lack of calibration by exploratory drilling, the interpretation of the Middle and Lower Cambrian salt formations in the central Tarim Basin poses a challenge.

Triggering mechanism and tsunamogenic potential of the Cape Fear Slide complex, U.S. Atlantic margin

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2007
Analysis of new multibeam bathymetry data and seismic Chirp data acquired over the Cape Fear Slide complex on the U.S. Atlantic margin suggests that at least 5 major submarine slides have likely occurred there within the past 30,000 years, indicating ...

Characteristics of Lacustrine Diamictite and Analysis of Diagenetic Reservoir Facies in the Neogene Lower Youshashan Formation in the Dafengshan Tectonic Belt in the Qaidam Basin

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Based on field outcrop data, core descriptions, comprehensive thin section data (plain, cast, and fluorescent), scanning electron microscopy, whole rock analysis via X‐ray diffraction, physical property tests, element logging, core recording, and oil pilot tests, we propose utilizing a mature and practical three component classification method for ...

On the participation of natural salts in alkaline magmatism. Article 2. Standard objects and geological aspects of the model

open access: yesЛитосфера, 2019
Research subject. The author suggests a new geologic and genetic model for alkaline magmatism. This model considers the saline complexes that are located along the paths of ascending deep magmas as additional sources of alkaline and volatile components ...

Evidence From Microscopy and U–Pb Geochronology as a Clue to the Influence of the Cretaceous Magmatism in the Diagenesis of Pre‐Salt Carbonate Reservoirs in the Santos Basin (Brazil)

open access: yesGeological Journal, EarlyView.
Carbonates from Santos Basin revealed U–Pb ages correlated with basalt ages (A), suggesting that they were formed during magmatic events. These events placed hot CO2 in the reservoir, which, when mixed with carbonate‐rich cold water (B), led to thermal convection, enabling the formation of the U contained in the carbonates.

The Supra-Salt Sedimentary Sequence of the North Caspian Depression: Stratigraphy and Sedimentary History

open access: yesGeosciences
The North Caspian Basin, known for its oil and gas potential, was formed because of the evolution of the ancient Tethys Ocean and is also a result of the collision of the East European, Kazakhstania, and Siberian paleocontinents.

Geology of the Central Sivas Basin (Turkey)

open access: yesJournal of Maps, 2019
This paper presents a revised geological map at the 1/50,000 scale of the Central Sivas Basin together with a synthetic stratigraphic chart and cross-sections. The map covers an area of approximately 9840 km² within the Eastern Anatolian orogen.

How the presence of a salt décollement in the sedimentary cover influences the behavior of subsalt thrusts in fold-and-thrust belts

open access: yesBSGF - Earth Sciences Bulletin, 2017
We conducted a series of analogue experiments on shortening of a brittle cover (dry sand) above a deep, thin, frictional detachment (glass microbeads). In some experiments, the cover was homogeneous, entirely brittle.
