The early-middle Miocene continental Cerro Boleadoras Formation (CBF) crops out in the area of and Plomo on western slope Meseta del Lago Buenos Aires, northwestern Santa Cruz Province, Argentina. lower levels CBF consist laterally extensive medium to pebbly sandstone beds with trough cross-bedding, interpreted as fluvial channel deposits, interbedded tabular fine-grained floodplain deposits. R...

Abstract The Tramelan-2 borehole (Canton Bern, Switzerland) continuously cored a 275.60 m sequence of Palaeogene to Neogene sediments, providing rare opportunity for sedimentological analysis the Jura Molasse. Lithostratigraphy, sedimentary facies and heavy minerals allow correlation with classical Swiss Evidence clastic input from Alpine non-Alpine sources is consistent deposition at northern ...

The Cenozoic sedimentary cover from the Ghomaride Complex (Internal Rif Belt) has been studied in Tetuan area (N Morocco) where a suite of successions shallow-marine to deep-marine environments crops out. For that purpose stratigraphic relations and petrological geochemical signatures have analyzed. Sandstone suites overall succession are heterogeneous testify multi-source area, response accret...

Bottom current deposits (contourites) form in association with modern-day or ancient oceanic gateways. A paucity of examples the record and lack consensus on diagnostic criteria for differentiating them from other deepwater limit our understanding how they may past global circulation, tectonic events gateway evolution. This work describes an exceptional example Eocene to middle Miocene deep-mar...
