A total 7 species and 13 genera of marine gastropod assemblages are reported for the first time from the Varehh Zard section (Asmari Formation), north of Pole Dokhtar, Lorestan Basin. The section under study, the Asmari Formation, lies between the Shahbazam Formation at the base and Gachsaran Formation at the top. According to the distribution of index foraminifera, the Asmari Formation is Earl...

in order to study the biostratigraphy and paleoecology of the early miocene in south west of kerman province, one section (gefriz) has been chosen, measured and sampled. the thickness of measured section is about 67 m. it consists mainly of thin to thick bedded limestone and marl. at this section, the early miocene deposits nonconformably lie between volcano sedimentary eocene at the base, and ...

Abstract. We studied the Zuccale Fault (ZF) on Elba, part of Northern Apennines, to unravel complex deformation history that is responsible for remarkable architectural complexity fault. The ZF characterized by a patchwork at least six distinct, now tightly juxtaposed brittle structural facies (BSF), i.e. volumes deformed rock given fault type, texture, colour, composition, and age formation. r...

In this study, two new climofunctions based on major elements are proposed from the study of 28 modern alluvial soils with pedogenic carbonate NE Spain. The first climofunction relates a base ratio (CaO, K2O) to mean annual temperature (MAT), and second one clayeness (Al2O3/SiO2) precipitation (MAP). both climofunctions, use parent material as normalizer gave best results, taking into account n...

A combination of well data, seismic information on thrusting and tectonic shortening, plus analyses the nature depth Mesozoic units related to main detachment horizons (Triassic evaporites, flysch), are used review, further update complex structural styles External Hellenides Albanides Orogenic Belts, SE Europe. In study area, late Alpine orogenic evolution resulted in a architecture characteri...

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...

Abstract. After more than a century of research, the chronology deformation external part western Alpine belt (France) is still controversial for Miocene epoch. In particular, poor dating foreland basin sedimentary succession hampers comprehensive understanding kinematics. Here we focus on molasse deposits northern subalpine massifs, southern Jura, Royans, Bas-Dauphiné, Crest, and La Bresse bas...
