Evolution of Late Cenozoic Minibasins and Growth Faulting, Green Canyon Area, Northwestern Gulf of Mexico
… Mexico has a complex geologic history involving growth faulting, the emplacement of allochthonous salt bodies and the evolution of small-scale Neogene depocenters overlying the mobile salt bodies (called ‘minibasins’). My study area is located in the northwestern Gulf of Mexico and lies along the …

Facies, Sequence Framework, and Evolution of Rudist Buildups, Shu'aiba Formation, Saudi Arabia
… may have been created by syn-depositional growth faulting that moved the northern block down. Shu'aiba deposition on the platform was terminated by long-term sea-level fall and karsting. The succession is dominated by approximately 400 k.y., 4th order sequences and 100 k.y. parasequences …

Seismic-stratigraphic analysis of shelf-margin delta/slope fan and basin floor fan on high-latitude and middle-latitude margins (Ross Sea, Weddell Sea and Alabama/West Florida shelf): Paleoclimatic and eustatic implications
… (antecedent topography, salt tectonics and growth faulting) are deemed to be more important initiators of upper-slope canyon formation on the middle-latitude margin.

SEISMIC INTERPRETATION AND ANALYSIS OF THE ETOUFFEE RESERVOIR SANDS AND THE SURROUNDING AREA IN TERREBONNE PARISH, SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA
… of geologic features and processes. Slumping, growth faulting, anticlines, and salt tectonics are only a few that are present here. One of the largest oil and gas discoveries during the 1990’s in South Louisiana was the Etouffee Prospect. Located south of Kent Bayou Field in Terrebonne Parish, …

Three-dimensional modeling of complex salt wall terminations in the Paradox Basin: implications for salt structure evolution, compartmentalizing fault trends and petroleum exploration
… the Castle Valley salt wall; (4) the amount of faulting along salt wall terminations and the resulting compartmentalization; (5) the development of multiple halokinetic sequences in response to passive diapirism of the Gypsum Valley salt wall; (6) growth faulting at Klondike Ridge associated …

Sedimentology, provenance, and salt-sediment interaction in the Ediacaran Pound subgroup, Flinders Ranges, South Australia
… Lateral facies variability is controlled by growth faulting and diapir topography, with increased abundance of diapiric material near faults and highs, as well as thinning, onlap, and rotation of sediment blocks. These results, as well as those from elsewhere in the basin, are highly …

Sedimentology and Architecture of a Partially Contained Deposit, Cerro Solitario, Magallanes Basin, Chilean Patagonia
The depositional styles of sediment gravity currents depend, in part, on the relationship of flow magnitude to the scale of topographically controlled containment and range from unconfined lobes to fully contained deposits. Determining the degree of containment is important for understanding …
