Miocene core complex development and coeval supradetachment basin evolution of Paros, Greece
This study evaluates the tectonosedimentary evolution of Paros, Greece using apatite and zircon (U-Th)/He dating to assess the currently accepted kinematic history and resolve controversy about the formation of and sources to the Paros supradetachment basin. Overdispersed and improbable results in …

Basin Evolution and Slope System Dynamics of the Cretaceous Magallanes Basin, Chilean Patagonia
Deep-marine basins linked to active continental margins by sloped ocean-floor profiles commonlyhost the final accumulation of sediment that was eroded and transported from the continents. Thedeep-marine sediment archives preserved in these settings commonly offer the most completerecord of sediment …

Sedimentary basin evolution and structural compartmentalization in the northernmost Andes : Eastern Cordillera and Magdalena Valley, Colombia
… is recorded in Mesozoic to Cenozoic clastic basin fill along the Middle Magdalena Valley (MMV) and Eastern Cordillera (EC) fold-thrust belt of Colombia. The Volador study area (5.5-6.0 °N) displays structures that pre-date and post-date an Eocene regional unconformity. The contrasting …

Thermo-tectonic record of hyperextension, structural inversion, and foreland basin evolution of the eastern and central Pyrenees
… to understand the thermal and structural evolution of continental rift systems, and the role of pre-existing crustal architecture on orogenesis and foreland basin development. This work constrains the Early Cretaceous hyperextension history along the Iberia-European margin and how rift …

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 …

Cenozoic foreland-basin evolution in the northern Andes : insights from thermochronology and basin analysis in the Eastern Cordillera, Colombia
The modern foreland basin straddling the eastern margin of the Andean orogen is the prime example of a retro-arc foreland basin system adjacent to a subduction orogen. While widely studied in the central and southern Andes, the spatial and temporal evolution of the Cenozoic foreland basin system in …

Multi-scale deep-marine stratigraphic expressions in the Cretaceous Magallanes Basin, Chile: Implications for depositional architecture and basin evolution
… there are still questions about the inherent evolution of these systems that need to be addressed. In this study, we focus on the sedimentary processes and depositional products of submarine channel-levee systems through the characterization, analysis and interpretation at different scales of …

DEVELOPMENT OF THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN FORELAND BASIN: COMBINED STRUCTURAL, MINERALOGICAL, AND GEOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF BASIN EVOLUTION, ROCKY MOUNTAIN THRUST FRONT, NORTHWEST MONTANA
… Following deposition of the overlying foreland basin clastic-wedge, the grikes were stylolitized by layer-parallel shortening and buckled over fault-propagation anticlinal crests in the Late Cretaceous-Paleocene fold-and-thrust belt. The model proposes that the grikes record uplift and erosion …

IDENTIFYING SALT SUTURE ZONES AND LITHOLOGICAL CHANGES OF THE LOUANN SALT IN THE GULF OF MEXICO BASIN, LA. U.S.A.
… Salt, a key evaporite unit in the Gulf of Mexico Basin, influences salt tectonics, hydrocarbon migration, and basin evolution. This study examines Louann Salt deposition and deformation within the Puma Diapir, focusing on mineralogical, geochemical, and structural features of suture zones in three …

The sedimentary record of seafloor uplift
… This thesis investigates the different origins, evolution, and impacts of various uplifting mechanisms on deep-water sedimentary records based on the interpretation of geomorphological and geophysical data. Here, sedimentary and morphological proxies are linked to different uplift …

A study of the berg Aukas-type Pb-Zn-V deposits in the Otavi mountain land, Namibia
… close relationship with carbonate diagenesis and basin evolution. The application of isotope (Sr , O, C) techniques as regards to timing and mechanisms of ore-forming processes, as a possible tool in exploration, is especially emphasized in this study. Detailed petrographic and isotope-geochemical …

Stratigraphic Analysis and Reservoir Characterization of the Late Oligocene-Early Miocene, Upper Yenimuhacir Group, Thrace Basin, Turkey
The Thrace Basin, NW Turkey, is one of the most important basins in Turkey in terms of hydrocarbon potential. Previous studies, starting in the 1930s, focused on tectonics, basin evolution, sedimentation and stratigraphy, depositional systems, and hydrocarbon potential. Eocene turbiditic sandstones …

Biostratigraphy of Cretaceous and Paleogene Strata from Northern Yukon Territory and District of Mackenzie, Northwest Territories
… and correlations within three northern Canadian basins, in combination with additional new palynostratigraphic data and previously published biozonation schemes. Palynological assemblages recovered from the Bonnet Plume, Eagle Plain and Brackett basins determine relative ages and establish …

New stratigraphy, polyphase deformational history and basement-involved thrust belt model for the Proterozoic Uncompahgre Group and Vallecito Conglomerate, Needle Mountains, Colorado
… a transgressive depositional model for regional basin evolution. This new stratigraphic connection also helps elucidate deformational geometry. The succession is interpreted to be ~ 1.70 Ga based on new detrital zircon data. Structural analysis indicates that the two cover units underwent a …

A seismic study on the structural evolution of the North Celtic Sea Basin, offshore Ireland
The North Celtic Sea Basin (NCSB) is one of a number of basins related to regional Mesozoic extension across north-west Europe. Previous authors have described the NCSB as having a conventional “steer’s head” geometry or alternatively a half graben geometry. Modern 2D and 3D seismic data has now …
