TL;DR: In this article, the authors showed that hyperpycnites are well developed in the seventh oil member of the Yanchang Formation and that the origin of the hyper-pycnal flows was controlled mainly by episodic tectonic movements and the humid climate.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a framework that can be used in various disciplines dealing with sedimentation under glacial and periglacial conditions, where the almost unlimited number of different deposits are grouped into 37 types that are all described briefly; most of them are also illustrated by field examples.

TL;DR: The Chaibasa Formation in Eastern India, which was deposited between 2100 and 1600 million years ago, shows deformations that must have formed when the sediments were not yet consolidated.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a set of criteria for the recognition of seismites in sedimentological, structural and palaeoseismic studies, including the following: (1) soft-sediment deformation structures should occur in laterally continuous, preferably recurring horizons, separated by undeformed beds; (2) these deformation structure should be comparable with structures known to have been triggered by modern seismic activity; (3) the sedimentary basin should have experienced tectonic activity at the time when the deformations were formed; and (4) the intensity or

TL;DR: The Mesoarchaean-Palaeoproterozoic stratigraphic record of the Singhbhum crustal province implies sedimentation and volcanism in a changing tectonic scenario and thus assumes immense geological significance as discussed by the authors.
