Objective The Shanxi Formation, deposited during the critical transitional period from the sedimentary filling of epicontinental sea basins to the sedimentation of continental basins, exhibits well-developed shallow-wate...

One of the most challenging aspects when analyzing the stratigraphic architectures ofancient basins is to constrain the extent and dynamics of the sedimentary systems involvedin its record. Especially when considering cl...

Sediment deposits formed mainly under the influence of bottom currents (contourites) are widely used as high-resolution archives for reconstructing past ocean conditions. However, the driving processes of Contourite Depo...

The size, shape, and organization of depositional systems in endorheic basins are controlled by the tectonic and climatic history of the sedimentary basin and its boundaries. We evaluate the changes in the alluvial archi...

The Maastrichtian shallow marine deposits exposed at the south margin of the Lago Argentino within the Austral-Magallanes Basin are known as the Calafate Formation. In order to interpret the depositional systems and reco...

A compositional study of sandstones belonging to the lower section of the Paganzo Group (Middle Carboniferous-Early Permian) in the Paganzo Basin (northwestern Argentina) helps unravel the stratigraphic and paleogeograph...

Abstract The Alum Shale Formation of Baltica preserves one of the most continuous and fossil-rich records for the Cambrian Period. Thus, the Alum Shale is a key sedimentary archive for refining global chronostratigraphy,...

A morphogroup analysis of the upper Hauterivian-lower Barremian foraminiferal assemblages from the Agua de la Mula Member of the Agrio Formation (Neuquén Basin, Argentina) reveled six associations based on benthic foram...

The Hauraki Goldfield of the Coromandel Volcanic Zone, North Island, New Zealand, hosts up to 19 known siliceous hot spring deposits, or sinters, some directly associated with Au–Ag ore bodies, in a Miocene–Pliocene,...

Sedimentary records from crater lakes are of major scientific interest because they provide continuous high-resolution climatic and environmental archives. From a limnogeological survey of crater lakes performed in the P...

La Formación Vinchina fue depositada entre los 16 y 8 Ma en una cuenca de antepaís fracturada del noroeste de la Argentina, registrando sedimentación en ambientes continentales, alcanzando un espesor de 6 kilómetros....

Continental crust exhibits areas of recurrent deformation and reactivation of faults that can be persistent for hundreds of millions of years. Associated with weak lithospheric zones, the characterization of long-lived d...

The intraplate fault-block mountains and intermontane deposits of the Gastre Basin, which are recorded more than 550 km east of the Andean trench in central Patagonia, Argentina, are analysed. The Gastre Basin is one of ...

The fossils of the India Muerta Formation (Neogene, Tucumán Province, Northwestern Argentina) include several vertebrate groups, mainly metatherian, xenarthran, and notoungulate mammals. Nevertheless, these remains have...

Some studies have reported that the capacity of humic substances to improve plant growth is dependent on their ability to increase root hydraulic conductivity. It was proposed that this effect is directly related to the ...

La Aloformación Punta San Andrés aflora principalmente a lo largo de las barrancas costeras que se desarrollan desde la ciudad de Mar del Plata hasta la ciudad de Miramar y comprende las sedimentitas de edad plio-pleis...

Los campos geotérmicos localizados en orogenos vinculados a zonas de subducción, están estrechamente relacionados con áreas caracterizadas por la presencia de actividad magmática y tectónica joven, tanto en configu...

The Argentine Continental Margin (ACM) comprises one of the largest contourite depositional systems worldwide, with evidences of strong gravitational downslope and alongslope sediment transport processes. Strong bottom c...

We here investigate the sedimentology of the early Danian (ca. 66-64 Ma) Salamanca Fm. in the north-central San Jorge Basin, southern Chubut Province, Patagonia, Argentina, in order to place the outstandingly diverse and...

Abstract Tin is a critical metal predominantly sourced from granite-associated deposits linked to anatexis of metasedimentary rocks and extreme magmatic differentiation. However, how metamorphism of sedimentary protolith...

Foreland basin systems are intimately linked to thrust belts and activation and reactivation of structures in association with convergent plate dynamics, capable of controlling regional uplifts, sedimentation, as well as...
