Metasedimentary and metabasaltic rocks of the Pelona schist of Sierra Pelona, southern California, preserve a relatively high P/T inverted metamorphic gradient (Graham and Powell, 1984) and provide an opportunity to study ...

Various stages of mid-Jurassic salt deformation resulted in post-salt extensional and contractional systems on the continental slope offshore Louisiana. Pre-mid-Cretaceous salt deformation resulted in salt massifs, small ...

Yumaque formation biosiliceous sediments resemble modern and Neogene sediments deposited under coastal upwelling conditions. High biogenic silica accumulation rates (up to 69 g$\cdot$cm$\sp{-2}\cdot$yr$\sp{-3}$), preservation ...

Present coastal systems along the east Texas coast evolved during the past 3.5 ky of relative sea-level stillstand following a rapid sea-level rise 4 ka. Closure of proto-Galveston Bay, caused by spit accretion of Galveston ...

Irregularly spaced seismic data have uneven distribution of trace midpoint density on the half-offset (h) versus common-midpoint (y) space. The deviation from uniformity disrupts the cancellation and reinforcement processes ...

Intermediate resolution seismic data were used to investigate the glacial history of the Pacific-Antarctic continental shelf. The objective was to determine the nature of ice sheet erosion and deposition on the continental ...

The Burgos Basin in northeastern Mexico has been the site of interaction of the Cordilleran thrust and fold belt of western North America with the passive margin of the Gulf of Mexico. The primary tectonic episodes in this ...

The common defining factor of coronae is a distinct annulus of tectonic origin. Current coronae classification is based on an intensive study of coronae primarily with maximum widths in excess of 100 km. Topographically ...
