Triassic strata are widely developed in the eastern part of Sichuan Basin. The Mingyuexia anticline and Huangnitang located structural belt develop Jialingjiang Formation to Xujiahe Formation. middle Leikoupo Badong on both sides synchronous heterogeneous strata. They distinguished regionally according their different sedimentary environments lithologic characteristics, phase transition boundar...

We present a detailed geologic study of the Thebes Formation at Gebel Gurnah in its locus typicus on the West Bank (opposite Luxor) of the Nile River in the Upper Nile Valley, Egypt. This is the first detailed measurement and lithologic description of the ~340 m thick (predominantly) carbonate section. The Thebes Formation is divided into thirteen major lithic units (A to M). We interpret data ...

Continental fold-thrust belts display a variety of structural styles, ranging from thin-skinned thrusts following weak lithologic contacts to thick-skinned that deform mechanical basement. The common practice splitting into and map domains has not yielded predictive model the primary controls on style. Within Mesozoic-Paleogene Idaho-Montana belt (44°N-45°N, 112°W-114°W), we identify crosscutti...
