Origin and significance of olistostromes in the evolution of orogenic belts: A global synthesis
Olistostromes (sedimentary mélanges) represent the products of ancient submarine mass
transport processes. We present a comparative analysis of the occurrences and internal …

Mechanisms and processes of stratal disruption and mixing in the development of mélanges and broken formations: Redefining and classifying mélanges
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 …

[HTML][HTML] Mélanges and chaotic rock units: Implications for exhumed subduction complexes and orogenic belts
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) …

Practical classification of geotechnically complex formations with block-in-matrix fabrics
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 …

Mass transport-related stratal disruption within sedimentary mélanges: examples from the northern Apennines (Italy) and south-central Pyrenees (Spain)
We report here mass transport-related disruption processes and their artifacts within
sedimentary mélanges. The case studies include the early Oligocene wedge-top mass …

Detrital zircon geochronology and processes in accretionary wedges
The detrital zircon U–Pb geochronology has been widely employed to analyze accretionary
wedges over the past decade. The goal of this paper is, first, to briefly review this rapidly …
