An inferred burial and exhumation history of Pennsylvanian strata in the central Appalachian foreland basin is constrained by integrating palaeothermometers, geochronometers and estimated palaeogeothermal gradients.Vitrinite re£ectance data and £uid inclusion homogenization temperatures indicate that burial ofLower andUpperPennsylvanian strata of theAppalachianPlateau inWest Virginia exceeded 4...

Sediment accumulation rates in foreland basins result from a complex interplay between surface and deep processes both the exhumed relief domain sedimentary basins. The growth decay of mountain belt during orogenic post-orogenic phases have been largely studied, thanks to thermochronological structural studies. response preserved sediments surrounding is well known terms filling patterns archit...

This PhD research thesis was funded by the ISES (Netherlands Research Centre for Integrated Solid Earth Sciences) and it was accomplished within the framework of the PannCarp integrated programme (The Pannonian-Carpathian area: Tectonic topography and the aftermath of continental collision). The fundamental objectives of this study were: to solve the riddle of the upper crustal architecture puz...

Abstract Anomalous features of Upper Cretaceous strata in southern Utah challenge existing tectonic and depositional models the Cordilleran foreland basin. Extreme thickness variations, net to gross changes, facies distributions nonmarine marginal marine Turonian–early Campanian Straight Cliffs Formation are documented across Southwestern High Plateaus. Contrary most traditional basin architect...
