Origin and significance of olistostromes in the evolution of orogenic belts: A global synthesis
Olistostromes (sedimentary mélanges) represent the products of ancient submarine mass
transport processes. We present a comparative analysis of the occurrences and internal …

Mechanisms and processes of stratal disruption and mixing in the development of mélanges and broken formations: Redefining and classifying mélanges
The terms mélange and broken formation have been used in different ways in the literature.
The lack of agreement on their definition often leads to confusion and misinterpretations. An …

[HTML][HTML] Mélanges and chaotic rock units: Implications for exhumed subduction complexes and orogenic belts
Most of mélanges occurring in exhumed subduction complexes and orogenic belts are
commonly interpreted as the product of tectonic processes (eg, underplating and return flow) …
