The study of many slope channel systems has led to the development of rules in the form of
observations, measurements, and hypotheses. For example, we hypothesize that high …

Submarine gravity flows are a key process for transporting large volumes of sediment from
the continents to the deep sea. The location, volume, and character of the sediment …

The kinematic evolution of the Patagonian fold-and-thrust belt and cogenetic Magallanes
retroarc foreland basin is reconstructed using new geologic mapping, two-dimensional (2-D) …

Channel-levee systems are frequently interpreted as having a long history of cut-and-fill by
channel-shaped features of different scales. Results from a simple geometric model based …

The˜ 4000 m thick and∼ 20 Myr deep-water sedimentary fill of the Upper Cretaceous
Magallanes Basin was deposited in three major phases, each with contrasting stratigraphic …

Abstract The Cretaceous–Paleogene Tres Pasos and Dorotea formations of the Magallanes
Basin, Chile record the filling of a deep-water foreland setting. Slope clinoforms with at least …

An integrated provenance analysis of the Upper Cretaceous Magallanes retroarc foreland
basin of southern Chile (50° 30′–52° S) provides new constraints on source area …

ABSTRACT The Austral-Magallanes is an oil-producing basin located in southern Argentina
and Chile, containing a siliciclastic stratigraphic record ranging from the Late Jurassic to late …

This work discusses the synsedimentary structural control affecting the turbidites of the
Marnoso-arenacea Formation (MAF) deposited in an elongate, NW-stretched foredeep …

Shelf-edge deltas are the primary agents of sediment delivery to deeper-water slope and
basin-plain depositional environments, and they represent significant targets for …
