Abstract The Dora‐Maira massif is an archetypal nappe stack of subducted and exhumed
upper crust. Slices of continental crust experienced metamorphism at upper blueschist to …

The kinematics of the collision in Western Alps are investigated through five balanced cross
sections of the whole external domain from the Oisans to the Mont Blanc massif. These cross …

The down‐dip portion of submarine fans comprises terminal lobes that consist of various
gravity flow deposits, including turbidites and debrites. Within lobe complexes, lobe …

Black, organic-rich rocks of the upper shale member of the Upper Devonian–Lower
Mississippian Bakken Formation, a world-class petroleum source rock in the Williston Basin …

Subaqueous sediment gravity-flow (SSGF) deposits have recently been recognized as a
major reservoir plays in lacustrine basins. Research on their genesis and depositional …

The detailed structure and composition of turbiditic channel-mouth lobes is still largely
unknown because they commonly lie at abyssal water depths, are very thin and are …

Abstract The Oisans Massif, located in the external zones of the western Alps, experienced
significant shortening during the Alpine collision. While a series of major top-to-the west …

Terrigenous input is often considered detrimental for carbonate producing organisms,
however, the common occurrence of mixed siliciclastic–bioclastic deposits indicates that the …

Abstract The Upper Cretaceous Bordighera Sandstone of NW Italy is a coarse-grained, sand-
rich elongated turbidite system (ca. 15× 45 km in outcrop) up to 250 m thick, interpreted to …

Alluvial fans are relatively simple depositional systems, due to the direct coupling of
sediment sources and adjacent accumulation areas. Nonetheless, general models of …
