current research in order to identify neo tectonic activity of the ziyarat basin has been made on the northern slopes of the eastern alborz in south-gorgan and using the index of morpho tectonic and tectonic evidence in the area. in this regard, the 6 morphological parameters were calculated and the results are analyzed. the overall results of these features, as indicators of the relative activ...

Seismic reflection profiles, drill-hole data, and geologic maps delimit the form of normal faults and Tertiary sedimentary rocks in the southern half of the Cache Valley basin in northern Utah. Dips of faults and sedimentary rocks were estimated from time-migrated reflection profiles by using the stacking velocities for the data. At the southern end of the basin, the East Cache fault zone is li...

The Murray Geological Basin is a large but relatively shallow Cenozoic sedimentary basin, extending over 300,000 km of south-eastern Australia (Figure 4.1). Some 23,000 km of the Murray Geological Basin occurs within 150 km of Broken Hill (Figure 3.1), with the north-west margin of the basin adjacent to the fractured rock uplands where Broken Hill is located (Figure 4.2). Contours for the base ...

This study presents the nannostratigraphy and nannofossil events in the lower boundary of Kalat Formation in the East and West of the Kopeh- Dagh basin. The Kalat Formation comprises of coarse grained detritus limestone with subordinate sandstone intercalations. In the current study, six sections have been chosen in the East and West of the basin which are as follow: Dobaradar section, Kalat se...

An integrated approach to the ecotoxicological assessment of Irish marine sediments was carried out between 2004 and 2007. Phase I Toxicity Identification Evaluation (TIE) of sediment porewaters from two sites on the east coast of Ireland were conducted. Initial Tier I screening of three Irish sites identified the need for TIE after significant toxicity was observed with Tisbe battagliai and th...

The Ricardo Group is a 1,700-m-thick sequence of Miocene volcanic rocks and continental sedimentary rocks deposited between ~19 and 7 Ma in the El Paso basin, near the junction of the Garlock fault and the Sierra Nevada frontal fault in southern California. The combination of stratigraphic and structural data from the Ricardo Group with chronologic and rotational histories derived from magnetos...

The Pass Peak Formation is a Tertiary basin-flank deposit exposed throughout much of the Hoback Basin; a depression physiographically distinct from, but structurally continuous with, the northern Green River Basin. Two lithofacies of the Pass Peak Formation are identified. A northern quartzite conglomeratesandstone facies, possibly as thick as 3200 ft, intertongues southward with a sandstone-si...
