Twenty two samples were studied to investigate the nature and evolution mechanism of mixed-layer kaolinite-smectite (K-S). We examined the <2 µm or <0.2 µm fraction of K-S formed by hydrothermal and hypergenic alteration ...

This article sums up the second stage of work on devising a Late Cenozoic radiometric time scale for the eastern Paratethys, in which we initially dated Sarmatian deposits of Moldavia and the Kerch'-Taman' region. Radiometric ...

Fingerlike bodies of evaporite rocks have been observed in many regions affected by multiple tectonic phases, such as the Atlas, the Pyrenees, or the Zagros Mountains, where they have been interpreted as fault-plane diapiric ...
