In central Utah, the major pre-Mississippian unconformity is fairly well understood at most of the localities where it is recognized. However, the unconformity is more enigmatic in Rock Canyon of the central Wasatch Range. At this... more
Variably deformed metasedimentary rocks (interbedded metaquartzite, phyllite, slate, etc.) of Paleozoic age exposed at Kg. Kuala Abang, Terengganu, are separable into two units on the basis of discernible differences in structural... more
The timing of the onset of an orogeny is commonly constrained indirectly, because early orogenic structures are rarely exposed, or are overprinted. Establishing the onset of an Archean orogeny is considerably more challenging, because of... more
Fluid inclusions from quartz and dolomite veins from five unconformity-related uranium deposits (Athabasca basin, Canada) have been analyzed by Raman spectrometry in order to identify trace gases in their vapor phase at room temperature.... more
An undated limestone section in Sungei Bilut near Raub, previously mapped as Carbo-Permian "Raub Group", shows two phases of non-coaxial folding. The presence of polyphase deformation, not evident in other dated "Raub Group" sediments... more
The application of high‐resolution seismic geomorphology, integrated with lithological data from the continental margin offshore The Gambia, northwest Africa, documents a complex tectono‐stratigraphic history and seascape evolution... more
The genesis and evolution of cold-water coral banks along the Northeastern Atlantic margin is known to be influenced by several factors, among which the palae-otopography and nature of the coral settling surface, the presence of bottom... more
Fluid circulation at basement/cover unconformities is of first importance for metal transfer and especially the formation of Pb–Zn, F, Ba and U-deposits. This is typically the case for world-class Proterozoic U deposits (Canada,... more
ABSTRACT: Stratigraphic cores and sections, geological maps and Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) were used for the threedimensional reconstruction of a portion of the regional unconformity, which separates the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM)... more
The Châteaupanne Unit belongs to the South Armorican domain of the Armorican Massif (France), which is part of the Variscan belt. This unit includes two Lower Devonian plant levels and one of them corresponds to the Basal Member of the... more
