Bedding-parallel veins of fibrous calcite (also called “beef”) occur in many sedimentary basins, especially those containing low-permeability strata with organic source material for petroleum. The formation such is commonly linked fluid overpressure these rocks. In this review, we demonstrate that beef are most present foreland basins worldwide or recorded a compressive tectonic period. related...

The discipline of structural geology is taking an advantage compiling observations from multiple field sites to comprehend the bigger picture and constrain region's geological evolution. In this study we demonstrate how integration a range geospatial digital data sets that relate Paleogene fault thrust belt exposed in high Arctic Archipelago Svalbard, used teaching bachelor-level courses at Uni...

The Apennines are a retreating collisional belt where the foreland basin system, across large domains, is floored by subaerial forebulge unconformity developed due to uplift and erosion. This overlain diachronous sequence of three lithostratigraphic units made (a) shallow-water carbonates, (b) hemipelagic marls shales (c) siliciclastic turbidites. Typically, latter two have been interpreted reg...

Latitudinal gradients in topography, relief, climate, and deformation have been used to suggest that climate-driven erosion has exerted a first order control on the development of the central Andes. We synthesize the spatial and temporal variations in denudation across the eastern Bolivian Andes (14-22°S) from new and existing estimates to test whether physical evidence exists to support the hy...

Responses of both modern and ancient fluvial depositional systems to growing folds can be interpreted in terms of interactions among competing controlling variables which can be incorporated into simple conceptual models. The ratio of the rate of sediment accumulation to the rate of structural uplift determines whether a fold develops a topographic expression above local base level. The balance...

The Rioni foreland fold-and-thrust belt is part of the Greater Caucasus pro-wedge and one most important examples collision-driven far-field deformation Arabia-Eurasia convergence zone. Here we show structural style based on seismic reflection profiles regional balanced cross-section. main within represented by a set fault-propagation folds, duplexes, triangle cross-section shows that folds abo...

Abstract We investigated interactions between structural deformation and surface processes in the Longmen Shan fold‐and‐thrust belt adjacent western Sichuan foreland basin (WSFB) eastern margin of Tibetan Plateau. The discrete‐element modeling (DEM) method was used to study influences various mechanical properties detachments syn‐tectonic erosion/deposition on evolution WSFB. DEM simulations de...

Abstract The Piedemonte Llanero Basin is located on the eastern side of Eastern Cordillera Colombian Andes. It has been subject numerous geological studies carried out for oil sector, mainly. This study presents coal-petrographical features 15 coal seams four formations from Late Cretaceous to Middle Miocene (Chipaque formation, Palmichal group, Arcillas del Limbo and San Fernando formation).
