Abstract The European Alps result from the closure of a former Triassic to Cretaceous rifting
system in which significative accumulation of Upper Triassic salt deposited. The thickness …

Flutes and tool marks are commonly observed sedimentary structures on the bases of
sandstones in deep‐water successions. These sole structures are universally used as …

This work discusses the significance of particular types of soft-sediment deformations very
common within turbidite deposits, namely convolute laminations and load structures …

Inherited and syn-compressional salt-controlled structures in orogens are difficult to
distinguish from compressional features because classical salt features (halokinetic growth …

In SW Piemonte the Western Alps arc ends off in a narrow, EW trending zone, where some
geological domains of the Alps converged. Based on a critical review of available data …

The initial propagation of the Western Alpine orogen was directed northwestward, as shown
by basement‐involved and Mesozoic sedimentary cover compressional structures and by …

Basins in which turbidity currents are completely or partially trapped are common in many
tectonically active, deep-water settings. Field study of an Eocene–Oligocene turbiditic …

Seafloor topography affects the sediment gravity flows that interact with it. Understanding
this interaction is critical for accurate predictions of sediment distribution and …

Innovative seismic forward modeling is used to illustrate the sensitivity within seismic data,
and its application in the interpretation of onlap and pinch-out of terminating deep-water …

Various transformation mechanisms can generate turbidity currents from subaqueous debris
flows. Different transformation mechanisms have been described and interpreted in the past …
