Multiple episodes of deformation during the tectonic evolution of orogenic belts and ancient
subduction-accretion complexes cause obfuscation of primary block-in-matrix fabric of …

Olistostromes (sedimentary mélanges) represent the products of ancient submarine mass
transport processes. We present a comparative analysis of the occurrences and internal …

The Franciscan Complex of California records over 150 million years of continuous E-
dipping subduction that terminated with conversion to a dextral transform plate boundary …

Most of mélanges occurring in exhumed subduction complexes and orogenic belts are
commonly interpreted as the product of tectonic processes (eg, underplating and return flow) …

Abstract The terms “bimrocks”,“bimsoils” and “soil-rock mixtures” indicate different and very
common types of geological units with a block-in-matrix fabric that are also “geotechnically …

The analysis of the pre-Andean history of the Central Andes shows a complex tectonic
evolution. The basement of the Andean continental margin was formed by the accretion of …

Abstract In Europe, North Africa and Asia Minor, the remains of Pennsylvanian sedimentary
basins bearing continental deposits either intimately mixed with shallow-marine strata or …

Olistostrome and sedimentary mélange are two synonymous genetic terms referring to the
“fossil” products of ancient submarine mass‐transport processes exhumed in orogenic belts …

Orogenic wedges locally present chaotic tectonostratigraphic units that contain exotic blocks
of various size, origin, age and lithology, embedded in a sedimentary matrix. The occurrence …

Small basins filled with Early Carboniferous (Mississippian) flysch in the Variscan chain in
southwestern Europe formed as ocean basins between Laurussia and Gondwana closed …
