Neoformed minerals in shallow fault rocks are increasingly recognized as key to the
behavior of faults in the elasto-frictional regime, but neither the conditions nor the processes …

The origin of clay minerals is an important topic in applied clay science because the
properties of any clay, and particularly those of kaolin, smectite, palygorskite and sepiolite …

A collection of large data sets from different orogenic belts was compiled for a correlation
between organic matter (OM) versus clay mineral (CM) indices calibrated with the vitrinite …

The role of minerals in Burgess Shale–type fossilization is controversial, particularly that of
the clay mineral kaolinite. Kaolinite may have formed on carcasses or attached to them as …

Geochemical compositions of twenty-four sandstone and shale samples from the Ecca
Group were analysed to decipher their provenance, paleoweathering conditions and …

Poland is considered the most prospective country for shale gas production in Europe.
Hydrocarbon generation/expulsion scenarios, drawn in the latest intensive exploration …

Cenozoic extension in the Western Mediterranean has been related to the dynamics of back‐
arc domains. Although, in most of its orogenic belts extension propagated into the fore‐arc …

Although rare, sedimentary deposits containing exceptionally preserved fossils (ie,
Lagerstätten) have shaped our view on the history of life at particular intervals, such as those …

Abstract The Oman Mountains expose Permo‐Mesozoic shelf rocks of Arabia overridden by
continental slope/basinal sediments and Semail Ophiolites during Late Cretaceous. A major …
