Tectonic relationships between the Paleozoic basement and the Mesozoic cover succession in the northern Dora-Maira Massif (Susa Valley, Western Alps) by Gianni Balestro, Marco Gattiglio, Matthieu Roà, Andrea Festa

“…The 1:5,000 scale geological map highlights the tectonic relationships between the Paleozoic basement and Mesozoic cover successions, which are separated by the Bussoleno Detachment Shear Zone, representing the basement-cover interface, and are tectonically overlain by the ophiolite-bearing Foresto Shear Zone. …”

The geometry evolution of Early Paleozoic carbonate platform in the southwestern Tarim Basin, China: evidence from sequence stratigraphic analysis and seismic forward modeling by Jie Li, Jie Li, Zicheng Cao, Feng Geng, Suju Yang, Xuguang Sha, Mingjie Lan, Shenghou Wang, Yongchao Lu, Yangbo Lu, Daqing Tang, Zhao Zhang, Fang Hao

“…In this study, by combining a seismic forward model, we systematically delineated the external morphology and internal architecture of seismic reflection and established a depositional model of a carbonate platform. The Lower Paleozoic strata display the high-amplitude reflection in the Lower-Middle Cambrian interval and the low-amplitude reflection in the Upper Cambrian-Middle Ordovician interval. …”
