Linking Subsurface Paleofluid Flow Events to Tectonics and Basin Evolution using Geochronology: Examples from the Paradox Basin
Subsurface fluids hosted in sedimentary basins can leave behind a series of superimposed geochemical and physical alterations in the rock record that reflect basin-scale fluid flow systems operating over long timescales. However, paleofluid systems are complex and often leave behind overprinting …

Kinematics and dynamics of salt tectonics in the Paradox Basin, Utah and Colorado : field observations and scaled modeling
… were used to investigate salt tectonics in the Paradox Basin, Utah and Colorado. In the scaled physical models, prograding sediment wedges expelled the underlying salt basinward by differential loading. Wedges were folded into expulsion rollovers. Where the base of salt was flat, the salt …

Three-dimensional modeling of complex salt wall terminations in the Paradox Basin: implications for salt structure evolution, compartmentalizing fault trends and petroleum exploration
The Paradox Basin, located in southeastern Utah and southwestern Colorado, is a stunning geologic area for salt tectonics research. Characterized by the halite-rich Pennsylvanian Paradox Formation, this region provides pristine examples of the many structural and stratigraphic relationships …

Multiscale Integration of Empirical Geologic Observations with Quantitative Structural Modeling to Constrain Late Cretaceous to Eocene Paleostress Environments on the Colorado Plateau
… adjacent to the Salt Valley salt wall in the Paradox Basin of southern Utah. Under Late Cretaceous-early Eocene tectonic loading, the salt wall underwent active diapirism via ductile flow because of its inability to sustain differential stress due to inherent mechanical weakness. This …
