Abstract:
The extension of the continental lithosphere that gives rise to continental rifts and eventually to passive continental margins and their basins is considered generally to involve shear on one or more major, shallow dipping normal faults (detachments). The operation of these detachments induces a basic asymmetry into the extensional terrane that is analogous to that in thrust terranes. As a result, the two sides of a continental rift and conjugate passive margin segments are predicted to have contrasting structure, facies development, subsidence history and thermal evolution.The major structur

Abstract:
Three extensional phases can be recognized in the northern, Anglona area of the Oligo-Miocene Sardinian Rift during a fifteen million year period which spanned Corsica–Sardinia continental microplate separation and Western Mediterranean back-arc basin opening. In response to this multiphase rifting, a complex facies architecture involving clastic, carbonate and volcanic rocks developed. Integrated onshore facies and structural analysis, dating and offshore seismic data are here used to reconstruct the tectono-stratigraphic history of the Anglona area. Initial late Oligocene extension created a

Abstract:
The Fitzroy Trough is a north-west/south-east trending rift along the north-east margin of the Canning Basin. The major crustal extension in the trough occurred in the Middle Devonian to Early Carboniferous. Most idealised cross-sections show down-to-trough normal faults bounding both sides of the trough. In contrast, we show the trough to have a half- graben style, with one side a hinge zone or flexure, and the other side bounded by normal faults. Thus, the basin has marked structural asymmetry. The sense of asymmetry switches several times along strike with the hinged margin on the north-eas

Abstract. Using borehole-constrained 3D reflection seismic data, we analyse the importance of sub-salt, salt, and supra-salt deformation in controlling the geometries and the kinematics of inverted structures in the Danish Central Graben. The Danish Central Graben is part of the failed Late Jurassic North Sea rift. Later tectonic shortening caused mild basin inversion during the Late Cretaceous and Paleogene. Where mobile Zechstein evaporites are present, they have played a significant role in the structural evolution of the Danish Central Graben since the Triassic. Within the study area, Jura

Abstract:
The Double Mer Formation is a sequence of redbed arkosic sandstone, conglomerate, siltstone, and shale in the Grenville Province of eastern Labrador. The formation is closely associated with a rift system extending inland for at least 300 km from the Labrador coast. Substantial thicknesses of strata of Double Mer Formation are confined to two basins, the Lake Melville graben and the Double Mer half graben. Strata correlated with the Double Mer Formation are found elsewhere in southeast Labrador; one isolated outcrop occurs within the Sandwich Bay graben, a separate, smaller basin 100 km to the

AbstractThe Carboniferous Billefjorden rift basin is a well-known example of a suite of Carboniferous basins on the Barents Shelf and NE Greenland. The basin has a clastic, carbonate and evaporite fill with complex and disputed stratigraphic relationships, especially regarding the Ebbadalen and Minkinfjellet formations. Geometrically, the basin is considered a simple half-graben. A N–S-trending fault and monocline structure within the northern portion of the basin, the Løvehovden fault, has lithological and thickness differences across it within the Minkinfjellet and possibly Ebbadalen formati

Abstract:
Fault evolution in oblique and orthogonal rift systems in the brittle upper crust of the Rukwa rift basin was simulated using scaled sandbox modelling by varying the angle between the rift axis and the extension direction, α, through 45° and 90°, over a 10 cm displacement. The 45° oblique model exhibits a half-graben architecture bounded by a planar fault, intra-rift faults and a conjugate fault in some vertical sections. The map view of the model’s basin trends in the NW-SE direction, and is comparable with the Rukwa rift basin orientation. The 90° oblique model forms a basin structure which

Within the Ukrainian sector of the Black Sea, the Albian-Cenomanian rift faults formed three large rift basins, which consisted of a system of grabens and half-grabens. One of the sublatitude rift basins occupied the modern Karkinit Trough, Krylov-Zmiiny Uplift, Gubkin Ridge and the Sulina Depression on the Odesa Shelf. The second sublatitude basin occupied the modern Tetyaev High, Sorokin Trough, Marine Continuation of the Crimean Folds and, apparently, the Crimean Mountains.

Extensively studied in terms of geometry, facies, biostratigraphy and sequence stratigraphy, the two examples illustrated in this field guide provide key information relative to facies and geometry of Jurassic carbonate systems developed in extensional basins during rift to post-rift extensional phases. Both outcrops display several km-scale, structurally intact and fully accessible transects from platform to basin that provide highly valuable analogues for facies character, architecture and

The Jurassic East Berlin Formation, in particular, crops out only in the southern and northern extents of the basin, exposing the upper 100-118-m of deposits.
