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 …
Mélanges represent a significant component of collisional and accretionary orogenic belts and occur widely around the world. Since its first introduction and use, the term has evolved …
Olistostromes (sedimentary mélanges) represent the products of ancient submarine mass transport processes. We present a comparative analysis of the occurrences and internal …

The terms mélange and broken formation have been used in different ways in the literature. The lack of agreement on their definition often leads to confusion and misinterpretations. An …
The Oligocene–Pleistocene Tethyan Realm Lamproites, from the Mediterranean to Himalayas, have a clear subduction-related signature and represent one of the most exotic …
The Araçuaí orogen and West Congo belt make up a singular confined orogenic system, embraced by the San Francisco–Congo craton: the AWCO. It includes a southern sector with …
We report here mass transport-related disruption processes and their artifacts within sedimentary mélanges. The case studies include the early Oligocene wedge-top mass …
