Abstract The European Alps result from the closure of a former Triassic to Cretaceous rifting
system in which significative accumulation of Upper Triassic salt deposited. The thickness …

Based on the interpretation of geological maps, seismic reflection and well data
complemented with a bibliographic compilation and field work in the Rif, we investigate the …

This work evaluates growth strata adjacent to the Bakio Diapir in the Basque Pyrenees,
aiming to discuss the application of halokinetic-sequence concepts, mainly developed in …

Megaflaps are steep stratal panels that extend far up the sides of diapirs or their equivalent
welds. They have multiple-kilometer fold widths and structural relief and are thus distinct …

Reinterpretation of the Organyà Basin, based on new detailed field observations and
subsurface data, emphasizes the key contribution of Upper Triassic evaporites in the tectono …

Triassic Keuper evaporites have long been recognized as the main detachment level for
thrusting in the Pyrenean fold–thrust belts. The deformed Late Cretaceous–Eocene foreland …

The halokinetic structure of inverted salt‐related continental margins is frequently obliterated
by compressional overprinting. The Cretaceous Sopeira and Sant Gervàs subbasins of the …

The central part of the Zagros Fold-Thrust Belt is characterized by a series of right-lateral
and left-lateral transverse tear fault systems, some of them being ornamented by salt diapirs …

Contractional deformation in salt-bearing rifted-and convergent-margin settings often
involves diapirism. Diapirs may predate the onset of shortening, such that they exert a …

Evaporites play a major role in the evolution of an orogenic wedge, modifying the shape and
the deformation kinematics inside the wedge. Salt tectonics can occur at various stages, but …
