Three drivers of subsidence are recognized in the Western Interior Basin: Mesozoic–early Cenozoic flexure adjacent to thin-skinned, eastward propagating Sevier Orogeny, Late Cretaceous–Eocene associated with thick-skinned Laramide Uplifts and Cretaceous dynamic subsidence. This study combines outcrop lithofacies, palaeocurrent measurements, detrital zircon geochronology, biostratigraphy, strati...

High-amplitude changes in sedimentary δ 13 C characterize the Cretaceous system and have been proven useful for supra-regional chemostratigraphic correlation. In Cretaceous, these perturbations indicate large shifts between global carbon reservoirs that are usually caused by volcanic activity of igneous provinces, widespread deposition thick organic carbon-rich sequences and/or orbital paramete...

The Cotinguiba Formation, of Cretaceous age, located in the Sergipe-Alagoas Basin, Brazilian Northeastern coast, comprises carbonate breccias and shales interlayered with fine to coarse clastic sediments (mudstones, marls), deposited maximum sea level episode during Cenomanian-Coniacian transgressive event. Core sections were selected from formation materials, which 20 plugs obtained, represent...

The Upper Cretaceous deposits of northwestern Colombia accumulated in two regions with distinct tectonic settings. eastern deposits, consisting Turonian–Maastrichtian rocks from the Magdalena Valley (UMV) and Cesar-Rancheria basins, were deposited by an epicontinental sea that partially covered South American Plate. In contrast, western which comprise a series highly faulted folded Coniacian–Ma...

The evolution of Tethyan phosphogenesis during the Cretaceous–Eocene is examined to try to explain fluctuations of phosphogenesis through time, and whether or not they reflect long-term changes in ocean circulation or in continental weathering. Twenty-seven time-stratigraphic phosphate levels in various Tethyan sites, covering a time span of about 90 Myr from the Hauterivian to the Eocene, were...

Abstract. The Polish Basin is a part of trans-European sedimentary basin comprising the Central European System and stretching from Denmark through Germany to southeastern Poland, even further south into Ukraine. It experienced uplift during Late Cretaceous, which consequently resulted in inversion its axial (i.e., Mid-Polish Trough) development Anticlinorium. In many existing paleotectonic int...

The composite Albian–Eocene orogenic wedge of the northern part Inner Western Carpathians (IWC) comprises European Variscan basement with Upper Carboniferous–Triassic cover and Jurassic to Cretaceous sedimentary successions a large oceanic–continental Atlantic (Alpine) Tethys basin system. This paper presents an updated evolutionary model for principal structural units (i.e., Fatricum, Tatricum...

between the lower and upper cretaceous there were some diastrophic movements, belonging to the austrain phase. these movements, which can be traced in many parts of north and central iran, caused extensive precenomanian erosion. even in southwest iran a wide spread discontinuity is reported at the base of the kazhdumi formation, which is possibly related to these movements. in the kopet - dagh ...
