TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the history of the Niger Delta shelf and slope using two-dimensional seismic reflection data and stratigraphic information from five wells, and proposed a model in which the Miocene-Pleistocene sedimentary package has slid basinward, breaking up during extension, thereby creating seaward-stepping depocentres.

TL;DR: In this article, the Buyuk Menderes and Gediz Graben of western Turkey developed during Miocene to Recent extension in the Aegean region, and a new mapping of structures and sedimentary lithofacies in exhumed basin-fill strata is used to reconstruct the evolution of the graben.

TL;DR: The Niksar basin is an active pull-apart basin, possibly as young as 0.5-1.5 million years ago as discussed by the authors, and its modern drainage and sedimentary facies are symmetrically arranged, with laterally derived alluvial fans, coarse braid plain deposits and axial braided stream deposits dominating the northern and western parts of the basin.

TL;DR: Basinward migration of half-graben footwall margins occurs throughout the active Aegean extensional province and has significant implications for facies distributions and preservation potential in synrift fills worldwide.

TL;DR: In this paper, amphibole and biotite grains were extracted from five volcaniclastic sandstones of the Seymour Canal Formation (Late Jurassic-mid-Cretaceous Gravina belt, southeastern Alaska); forty of these grains were dated by fusion with the $$40}Ar/^{39}Ar$$ laser microprobe.
