The stratigraphic development of foreland basins has mainly been related to surface loading in the adjacent orogens, whereas control slab loads on these received much less attention. This also case for interpreting relationships between Oligocene Micoene evolution European Alps and North Alpine basin or Molasse basin. In this trough, periods rapid subsidence have generally considered as a respo...

The Shumagin batholith is part of the Sanak-Baranof plutonic belt in Southwest Alaska that extends approximately 2200km from Sanak Island in the west to Baranof Island in the east. (Hudson, 1979; Hudson et al., 1979; Hill et al., 1980; Bradley et al., 2000; Haeussler et al., 2003). Previous work has indicated that the crystallization ages of the Sanak-Baranof plutons young from west to east. Th...

This study presents the first geochemical, mineralogical and petrological data on mafic ultramafic rocks of Texenna (Lesser Kabylia, north-eastern Algeria) with aim constraining their tectonic setting in context Maghrebide belt. The magmatic-sedimentary complex comprises serpentinite, metabasites (metagabbro, metadolerite metabasalt pillow-lava structures), oceanic metasediments (radiolarite ca...

Limestones designated the Štramberk-type are most common carbonate exotic clasts (exotics) embedded in uppermost Jurassic–Miocene flysch deposits of Polish Outer Carpathians. About 80% stratigraphically determinable exotics from Silesian, Sub-Silesian and Skole units (nappes) Tithonian (mostly)–Berriasian (sporadically Valanginian) age. A study these revealed eight main facies types: coral-micr...
