Inversion tectonics in S.W. Dyfed

Proceedings of the Geologists' Association, 1987
Inverted sedimentary basins form when basin-controlling extensional faults reverse their movement during contractional tectonics. The structural evolution of S.W. Dyfed is considered in terms of a model of positive inversion tectonics. A change in deformation mode from Devonian extension to Late Carboniferous contraction gave rise to renewed movement ...

TECTONIC INVERSION OF THE DNIEPER-DONETS BASIN

2021
The structural deformations of the sedimentary cover of the Dnieper-Donets basin (DDB) of the stages of platform tectonic activation in the zone of its articulation with the Donets Foldbelt (DF) were studied. Based on the structural analysis of the geocarting materials of the territory of the Western Donets Graben (WDG), using field definitions of the ...

Tectonic inversion and structural inheritance in mountain belts

Journal of Structural Geology, 2006
Collisional mountain belts are the product of deformation of former continental margins. During the past 20 years it has be- come increasingly evident that the pre-existing faults, basin structures and the stratigraphic variations they generate can play a significant role in influencing the structural evolution of later compressional tectonics.

Deeply rooted inversion tectonics in the southern Baltic Sea

2023
We performed reinterpretation of the DEKORP-BASIN’96 offshore deep reflection seismic profiles PQ-002 and PQ-004-005 running ENE-WSW in the South Baltic area through the transition zone between the East European Craton (EEC) in the NE and the Palaeozoic Platform in the SW.

East-vergent thrusts and inversion structures: An updated tectonic model to understand the Domeyko Cordillera and the Salar de Atacama Basin transition in the western Central Andes

, 2020
The tectonic evolution of the Andean forearc in northern Chile has commonly been related to superimposed deformational events associated with different tectonic settings.

(Un)certainties in tectonic stylolite stress inversion

Over the last two decades application of stylolite roughness inversion has become a common tool to reconstruct paleostress-fields, stress magnitudes and burial depth. While the orientation of the highest principal stress is free of any doubt, there are uncertainties coming along with tectonic stylolite inversion that require a differentiated debate ...

Tectonic Evolution of Bass Strait–Origins of Tertiary Inversion

Exploration Geophysics, 1991
The sedimentary basins of Bass Strait display a marked asymmetry of structure. This is particularly evident in the Gippsland Basin and Torquay Sub-basin where Tertiary structures are better developed along their northern margins. The origins of this asymmetry are reviewed and a structural model for the evolution of Bass Strait basins set out.

Inversion tectonics on the continental margin east of Newfoundland

Geology, 1987
Industrial multichannel seismic data show a series of elongate sedimentary basins beneath the outer continental shelf east of Newfoundland. The basin sediments range in age from Carboniferous to Early Cretaceous; regional subsidence since the Late Cretaceous buried these basins under Cenozoic sediments.

Detachment-controlled triangle zones in extension and inversion tectonics

Interpretation, 2014
“Triangle zone” geometry is well established in thrust tectonics, where the leading edge of a frontal thrust branches backward onto a hinterland-directed roof thrust, and the triangle zone thus formed defines the thrust system’s leading edge. Similar geometries occur in extension and inversion settings, where a triangle zone can form between a deep ...
