Response: Miocene Deposits in the Amazonian Foreland Basin

Miocene deposits in the amazonian foreland basin.

Foreland basin systems

A foreland basin system is defined as: (a) an elongate region of potential sediment accommodation that forms on continental crust between a contractional orogenic belt and the adjacent craton, mainly in response to geodynamic processes related to subduction and the resulting peripheral or retroarc fold-thrust belt; (b) it consists of four discrete depozones, referred to as the wedge-top, forede...

Tectonic control on coarse-grained foreland-basin sequences: An example from the Cordilleran foreland basin, Utah

Figure 1. A: Map of Charleston-Nebo salient and northernmost Book Cliffs showing rock units, thrust faults (dashed where buried), key seismic coverage (gray lines), measured stratigraphic sections (1–7; 8 is location of additional Blackhawk sandstone samples), and wells. Rock units: KTs—Cretaceous–Tertiary strata (North Horn and younger formations), Kmv—Cretaceous Mesaverde Group (Blackhawk, Ca...

Biostratigraphy of Oligo-Miocene marine deposits of Central Iran basin based on calcareous nannoplanktons

Background and Objectives: ?????? Methods: ?????? Findings: ?????? Conclusion: ?????   The present study is the first study aimed at biostratigraphy based on calcareous nannoplankton that has been performed on all succession exposed from the Oligo-Miocene marine deposits (members a to f of the Qom Formation). The studied deposits are located in the middle part of the Central Iran Zone and m...

Applications of Spatial Databases and Structures to the Study of Miocene Deposits of Borod Basin

In this paper we apply spatial database and structure to render the paleo-relief of the Borod Basin. The boreholes data are stored in a spatial database. For the effective surface rendering we use local-Shepard interpolation with variable radius, based on a spatial grid and Delaunay triangulation. The generated pictures are more realistic compared to picture generated by mean of other methods. ...
