The understanding of the carbonate platform reservoirs can be improved through the comparative analysis of outcropping analogous, such as the Triassic ones from the Italian Dolomites (Fig. 1). The study of the different platform generations outcropping in this region is particularly worthy in clarifying the dynamic relationships between the changing carbonate production and the depositional arc...

the asmari formation was deposited in the foreland basin of southwest iran (zagros basin). carbonate sequences of the asmari formation consist mainly of large benthic foraminifera along with other skeletal and non-skeletal components. three assemblage zones have been recognized by distribution of these large foraminifera in the study area that indicate oligocene age (rupelian-chattian). absence...

This study combines spaceborne multitemporal and hyperspectral data to analyze the spatial distribution of surface evaporite minerals and changes in a semi-arid depositional environment associated with episodic flooding events, the Omongwa salt pan (Kalahari, Namibia). The dynamic of the surface crust is evaluated by a change-detection approach using the Iterative-reweighted Multivariate Altera...

Chemical and mechanical weathering textures on siliciclastic grains have provided important information concerning depositional processes and environments, yet understanding is limited by the multicycle origin of most sedimentary deposits. Sea glass grains sampled from a beach in Port Allen, Kauai, Hawaii, were analyzed for mechanical and chemical weathering features using scanning electron mic...
