Neoproterozoic sedimentary successions worldwide display evidence for multiple low-latitude glacial events and continental rifting episodes related to the fragmentation of the supercontinent Rodinia. In Death Valley, eastern California, these events are represented by two intervals of glacial diamictite and two episodes of synsedimentary extensional faulting in the Kingston Peak Formation. Deep...

A shelf to basin-slope transition is vertically and laterally exposed within the Late Proterozoic Wonoka Formation in the northern Flinders Ranges of South Australia. The shelf to basin-slope transition can be divided into four units (C to F) which are defined on the basis of facies, sedimentary structures, contacts, stratal geometry, and the type and abundance of down-slope mass movement. The ...

Thrust propagation through previously faulted continental margins may result in fold and thrust belts whose structure is strongly controlled by the inherited basin architecture. A detailed geological study has been carried out in the external zone of the Umbria-Marche Apennines, from Monte San Vicino to the north, to Montagna dei Fiori to the south. Stratigraphic and structural data, together w...

Analysis of deformational histories along polyphase reactivated faults commonly is based on the dating of cross-cutting relationships using relative ages of offset strata or geochronological ages of syntectonically grown minerals within fault planes. However, ten Veen and Postma (1999) and ten Veen and Kleinspehn (2000) introduced a new approach to reconstructing the vertical component of synse...

Northwest Borneo orogene. The shelf widens to more than 300 km toward the south in Sarawak and measures about 100 km in the north in Sabah. Structural deformation is most severe onshore and decreases toward the offshore, where all the currently producing East Malaysian fields are located. The two largest offshore oil fields, the Baronia field in northern Sarawak and the Samarang field in southe...
