Composition and deformation patterns of the caprock on salt extrusions in southern Iran – Field study on the Karmostaj and Siah Taq diapirs
2021, Journal of Structural GeologyCitation Excerpt :The composition and morphology of exposed caprock is highly variable across the Zagros region, partly because the amount and size of rigid stringers and interlayers differs between individual diapirs probably as a result of compositional changes of the original salt formation. The abundance of stringers is the main difference compared to other regions with exposed caprocks, such as the Gulf of Mexico Basin, where the diapir caprock is derived from less impure salt formation and consists primarily of anhydrite, gypsum and carbonate layers (Goldman, 1933; Prikryl et al., 1988; Kyle and Posey, 1991; Caesar et al., 2019; Labrado et al., 2019). Although there are numerous studies on erosion and karstification of the salt and caprock in southern Iran (e.g. Bruthans et al., 2009; Nekouei and Zarei, 2017), thickness, rheology and deformation structures of the caprock on Iranian diapirs have not yet been investigated systematically.
Fracturing and calcite cementation controlling fluid flow in the shallow-water carbonates of the Jandaíra Formation, Brazil
2017, Marine and Petroleum GeologyCitation Excerpt :Produced CO2 would be slightly less depleted averaging at a δ13CVPDBB value of −24‰ (Hudson, 1977). Addition of these 13C-depleted types of carbon to a carbonate-rich fluid can bring down δ13CC values of calcite precipitates significantly (e.g., Prikryl et al., 1988; McManus and Hanor, 1988). The carbon species were most likely derived from hydrocarbons and other organic constituents in the underlying Açu Formation.
