INTERPRETING THE NATURE OF THE AULET AND ADONS DIAPIRS FROM SEDIMENTOLOGIC AND STRATIGRAPHIC ANALYSIS OF FLANKING MINIBASIN STRATA, SPANISH PYRENEES, CATALUNYA, SPAIN

C. Evelyn Gannaway Dalton et al.

Summary: This study investigates the depositional facies and stratal architecture of the Aulet and Adons diapirs in the Ribagorca Basin in the Pyrenees. The research provides insights into the origin and evolution of these diapirs and their associated minibasins. The findings suggest that the depositional systems in the minibasins evolved in response to extension, salt evacuation, and passive diapirism during the Pyrenean rift and postrift phases. The study also highlights the importance of integrating sedimentological and stratigraphic evidence into structural interpretations.

Secondary minibasins in orogens: Examples from the Sivas Basin (Turkey) and the sub-Alpine fold-and-thrust belt (France)

Naim Celini et al.

Summary: Inherited and syn-compressional salt-controlled structures are difficult to distinguish from compressional features in orogens. The study of the Sivas basin in Turkey and the French Alps reveals the important role of salt tectonics in the evolution of the sub-Alpine fold-and-thrust belt.

Salt tectonics and controls on halokinetic-sequence development of an exposed deepwater diapir: The Bakio Diapir, Basque-Cantabrian Basin, Pyrenees

Eduard Roca et al.

Summary: This study evaluates growth strata adjacent to the Bakio Diapir in the Basque Pyrenees, providing insights into the development and evolution of salt structures in deepwater environments. Analysis of multiple datasets reveals the geometry and influencing factors of halokinetic sequences in deepwater settings.

INTERACTIONS BETWEEN DEEP-WATER GRAVITY FLOWS AND ACTIVE SALT TECTONICS

Zoe A. Cumberpatch et al.

Summary: The study focused on the influence of salt structures on deep-water sedimentary systems in the Basque-Cantabrian Basin in Spain, showing how salt diapirs grew reactively and passively, affecting the depositional architecture. The presence of well-exposed halokinetic sequences and variations in debrites indicate that salt growth occurred during deposition, leading to facies variability and channelization of flows in the basin.

Anatomy and evolution of the Astoin diapiric complex, sub-Alpine fold-and-thrust belt (France)

Naim Celini et al.

Summary: The southwestern branch of the Alpine orogen is influenced by Late Triassic evaporites, with salt tectonics starting in the early Liassic period and impacting the overall structural evolution of the area. The Astoin diapir has been studied to understand the role of salt in the region’s tectonics, revealing a complex structural framework with significant along-strike variations in diapiric activity. Salt tectonics initiated during the Liassic rifting continued through the Late Jurassic and Cretaceous, with ongoing diapirism during the Oligocene as the Alpine foreland basin developed.

Large-scale vertical movements in Cenomanian to Santonian carbonate platform in Iberia: indicators of a Coniacian pre-orogenic compressive stress

Simon Andrieu et al.

Summary: This study reconstructs the sedimentary facies and architecture of the Iberian carbonate platform throughout the Late Cretaceous, shedding light on the geodynamic evolution of the Iberia-Eurasia relationship. The interpretation proposes different geological events during the Cenomanian and Turonian, as well as a large-scale flexural response during the Coniacian and early Santonian.
