This report presents the final results from this contract to analyze the seismicity of the Yakima Fold and Thrust Belt (YFTB) region, Washington (Figure 1). The contract work involved the following: Apply conventional seismic tomography, using the public domain code simul2000 (Thurber and Eberhart-Phillips, 1999), to the YFTB region (121.25°W to 117.5°W and 45.5°N to 47.5°N) dataset of approxim...

Bulbophyllum leucoglossum, Dendrobium centrosepalum, Dendrobium taeniocaule, and Taeniophyllum pyriforme are here described as new species, based on herbarium specimens collected from the Lengguru fold-and-thrust belt in the West Papua Bird's neck, Indonesian New Guinea. All four novelties were found growing in submontane forest (elevation > 1000 m a.s.l.) on limestone karst. Information concer...

The larger benthic foraminifera Gyroconulina columellifera Schroeder & Darmoian, 1977 (type-locality: Maastrichtian Aqra Formation of Iraq) is described for the first time from two sections of the Maastrichtian Tarbur Formation of the Zagros Fold-Thrust-Belt, SW Iran. New details on its wall microstructure are provided. The microfacies is represented by bioclastic wacke-/pack-/grainstones with ...

The geometry, kinematics and dynamics of fold-and-thrust belts are strongly influenced by the mechanical behaviour basal décollement. However, many also include mechanically weak lithologies such as evaporites marls or mudstones at different levels within shortened stratigraphy. dynamic evolution these thrust controlled both décollement units embedded overlying stratigraphic succession. In Zagr...

The article considers the geological framework of a large orogenic structure in northeastern Eurasia - Verkhoyansk fold-and-thrust belt (VFTB), formed Late Mesozoic on eastern margin Siberian craton. Zoning geopotential fields and authors' interpretation frequency-energetic characteristics along 3-DV reference geo-physical profile provided basis for modeling deep VFTB adjacent structures There ...
