Abstract. Deep-water fold-and-thrust belt (DWFTB) systems are gravity-driven collapse structures often found in passive margin settings and comprised of a linked up-dip extensional domain, central transitional/translational down-dip compressional domain. Many Late Cretaceous DWFTB occur along the SW African with multiple, over-pressurized, seaward-dipping shale detachment surfaces accommodating...

Segev, A., Sass, E., Ron, H., Lang, B., Kolodny, Y., McWilliams, M. 2002. Stratigraphic, geochronologic, and paleomagnetic constraints on Late Cretaceous volcanism in northern Israel. Isr. J. Earth Sci. 51: 297–309. Late Cretaceous volcanism in northern Israel is represented by basaltic pyroclastics and lavas at two adjacent localities at Mount Carmel and the Umm el Fahm area. Four Cenomanian a...

Ridged plains are a major geologic unit on Mars and are a predominant unit on the Tharsis Plateau, a region that has undergone uplift, extension, and extensive shield and flood volcanism. These units, probably flood volcanic in origin, are characterized by landforms classed as wrinkle ridges. Wrinkle ridges are interpreted to be folds, resulting from buckling followed by reverse to thrust fault...

Geological structure of the "Kalmaz" oil and gas field, that is being studied since 1930, located 100 km south-west Baku, in north-eastern part lower Kura depression. Information on geological structure, stratigraphy, tectonics, content field etc. has been collected as a result search exploration works carried out structural research wells drilled. The was formed from brachianticlinal fold with...

The Jacksonburg-Stringtown field was discovered in 1895. It is located on the western flank of the Burchfield syncline, in southeastern Wetzel, eastern Tyler, and northwestern Doddridge counties, West Virginia. Over 500 wells were drilled in the field between 1 897 and 190 1 ; most were plugged by 19 10. Primary recovery has been estimated to lie between 1454 and 1590 barrels of oil per acre. P...

Nearly a decade ago, Gorter (1) suggested that the Bedout basement high, offshore Western Australia, might represent an impact structure, in view of the site_s well-defined circular Bouguer anomaly and seismic reflection data indicating a possible ring syncline. Recently, Becker et al. (2), as part of the search for the cause or causes of the mass extinction that marks the Permian-Triassic (P-T...

various geological units in an area often exhibit different magnetic properties. due to this distinction in magnetic properties of the geological units, a correlation between the type of a geological unit and its magnetic response can be established. to determine the lateral and vertical extents of geological units from the magnetic data in a survey area, a number of filters for processing magn...
