Stages of Development of the Northern Apennines Miocene Foredeep Basin: Insights from Facies Analysis and Structural Setting of the Marnoso-Arenacea Fm. (Umbria, Italy)

Geosciences
The Marnoso-arenacea basin (MaB) of the Northern Apennines represents one of the most significant lower–middle Miocene foredeep turbidite systems in the Mediterranean region.

Geological Map of the Frasassi Gorge (Northern Apennines, Italy)

Geosciences
This work presents a new 1:10,000-scale geological map of the Frasassi area (central Italy), integrating recent surface and cave surveys. The map is complemented by new data on the lithostratigraphic characterisation of the Calcare Massiccio Formation ...

A >300 Myr Long‐Lived Topographic Highland Along the Northern North China Craton Margin Driven by Multistage Continental Convergence

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract Topographic highlands commonly develop along convergent plate boundaries through long‐term processes such as subduction and continental collision. However, the pre‐Cenozoic mountain‐building history of deep‐time orogenic systems in northeastern Pangaea remains poorly constrained due to later tectonic overprinting and denudation.

Rotation in the Southeastern Caribbean Arc (Grenadines) Accommodated by Back‐Arc Basin Inversion

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract The Caribbean tectonic plate is typically modeled as a rigid plate moving along discrete plate boundaries. Isolated exposures on islands have long shown that above the Lesser Antilles subduction zone, the plate experienced contractional, strike‐slip, and extensional deformation, but the importance of this deformation remained long unknown ...

Quantifying Multi‐Source Sediment Supply in a Tropical Foreland Basin (Oligocene‐Miocene Nyalau Formation, Borneo)

Basin Research, Volume 38, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Detrital zircon unmixing identifies three sediment sources for the Oligocene–Miocene Nyalau Formation, including a previously unrecognised syn‐depositional component characterised by Oligocene–Miocene volcanic zircons and Neoproterozoic populations absent from established sources.

Sequence lithofacies paleogeography evolution of the Middle Permian Maokou Formation in the northwest margin of the Sichuan Basin

Frontiers in Earth Science
Due to the present tectonic and stratigraphic distribution characteristics in the northwest margin of the Sichuan Basin are complex, which restricts the understanding of sequence lithofacies paleogeography of the Middle Permian Maokou Formation.

The regional evolution of a dryland fluvio‐aeolian and lacustrine succession in response to allocyclic forcing: insights from the Early Permian Cutler Group, Utah, USA

Sedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 2, Page 297-354, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Preserved allocyclic signatures in the rock record often reflect basin‐scale climatic variability and serve as key proxies for correlating ancient dryland successions. The notion of climate cyclicity, however, remains largely untested on regionally constrained, outcrop‐calibrated studies.

Sedimentary evidence for the connection between the southern margin of the Ordos Basin and the Paleotethys Ocean during the Permian to Early Triassic

Meitian dizhi yu kantan
Objective Understanding the Permian-Early Triassic sedimentary environments along the southern margin of the Ordos Basin (also referred to as the SMOB) and their tectono-sedimentary responses to the Paleotethys Ocean plays a key role in determining the ...

Tracing Mantle Sources to Tectono–Magmatic Settings: Machine Learning Classification of Basalts Over the Past 1 Billion Years

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 21, 16 November 2025.
Abstract The geochemical heterogeneity of the mantle, recorded by mantle‐derived basalts, offers crucial insights into the evolution of mantle sources. However, recognizing mantle end‐members of basalts is challenging, as traditional trace element proxies yield ambiguous overlapping results in older basalts.

Water pathways and ancient lakes: Flowing towards new models to unravel the past

The Depositional Record, Volume 11, Issue 5, Page 1554-1562, November 2025.
Abstract Significant progress has been made in understanding lake basin evolution through climatic and tectonic changes using sedimentology, sequence stratigraphy, geochemistry, hydrology and watershed characteristics to interpret three main lake basin types: overfilled, balanced‐fill and underfilled, including fluvio‐lacustrine systems.
