TL;DR: In this paper, the responses of depositional patterns to extensional faulting during the rift cycle are discussed, based on an integrated analysis of 3D seismic reflections, wire logs and cores from the Early Cretaceous Tanan Depression in the Tamtsag Basin, Mongolia.

TL;DR: In this paper, a 972.55m-long core from the Xisha Islands was retrieved to provide a credible chronologic constraint on the carbonate platform evolution, and the results indicated that the primary or near-primary-seawater Sr-87/Sr-86 values were likely preserved, although different degrees of diagenetic alteration occurred.

TL;DR: In the Huangliu Formation, the O-18 and C-13 stable isotopes suggest that dolomitization was mediated by slightly modified seawater, and the Sr-87/Sr-86 ratios from the dolostones suggest that the original carbonate sediments accumulated in water that was < 30 m deep.

TL;DR: The authors in this paper determined whole-rock major and trace-element contents and Hf-Sr-Nd-Pb isotope compositions of Quaternary basalts from Weizhou Island to provide insights into the nature of their mantle sources and formation processes.
