This work evaluates growth strata adjacent to the Bakio Diapir in Basque Pyrenees, aiming discuss application of halokinetic-sequence concepts, mainly developed shallow-water subaerial environments, deepwater depositional settings. is one few exposed passive diapirs with both synkinematic carbonate and siliciclastic strata. Thus, considering that large hydrocarbon producing areas are located sa...

Mixed siliciclastic-carbonate active orogens are common on Earth's surface, yet most studies have focused erosion and weathering in silicate-rich landscapes. Relative to purely siliciclastic landscapes, the response of uplift may differ mixed-lithology regions. However, our knowledge mixed carbonate-silicate lithologies is limited and, thus, so understanding mechanistic coupling between uplift,...

A uranium-lead zircon age for a volcanic ash interstratified with fossil-bearing, shallow marine siliciclastic rocks in the Zimnie Gory section of the White Sea region indicates that a diverse assemblage of body and trace fossils occurred before 555.3 +/- 0.3 million years ago. This age is a minimum for the oldest well-documented triploblastic bilaterian Kimberella. It also makes co-occurring t...

The present study focuses on facies analysis and the reservoir characteristics of the Asmari Formation in the Aghajari oilfield (located in the Zagros fold-thrust belt, southwest Iran), and how they are linked to depositional environments and reservoir characteristics. This formation consists of about 380 m carbonates with some siliciclastic intercalations. Based on the integration of 1200 m of...

Multiscale structural analysis is carried out to explore the sequence of superposed pre-Alpine chloritoid–staurolite–andalusite metamorphic assemblages in polydeformed Variscan basement upper Val Camonica, central Southalpine domain. The dominant fabric Camonica late-Variscan S2 foliation, marked by greenschist facies minerals and truncated base Permian siliciclastic sequences. intersection wit...
