Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes the two excursions accessed from the Monterrey International Airport on the north side of Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico. Excellent exposures of salt diapirs and flanking strata in La Popa basin, northeastern Mexico, contain world-class examples of salt–sediment interaction that provided the basis for the concept of halokinetic sequences. The basin also contains one of the first secondary salt welds described in outcrop. Two one-day excursions described here provide an easily accessible overview of salt–sediment relations within a short distance of Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico. Excursion 1 constitutes an introduction to basin stratigraphy, an introduction to halokinetic sequences at El Papalote diapir, and a visit to a salt-cored detachment fold near Hidalgo, Nuevo León. Excursion 2 is a visit to La Popa salt weld, where stops at several parts of the weld permit comparison of different structural styles developed along the weld. Each excursion begins and ends at the Marriott Courtyard Aeropuerto Hotel, near the Monterrey airport.

This book was released on 1977 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The major purpose of this study was to examine in detail the anomalous transgressive "boundary" sandstones which generally are present at formation boundaries throughout the Parras and La Popa basins. These extensive sheet-like sandstone bodies are massive, resistant units up to 20 m thick and up to 25 km wide that form the cap of mountains and hogbacks. These are anomalous units because transgressive deposits thicker than 5-10 m are rare in ancient deposits although they are well-documented for some Holocene deposits. For example there are no known thick transgressive deposits in the well-studied cyclic transgressive-regressive sequences in the Cretaceous rocks of the Rocky Mountains. McBride and others (1975) previously interpreted these boundary sandstone bodies to have been laid down as thick transgressive or regressive blanket deposits as the shoreline moved back and forth across the basins in response to variable basin subsidence and sediment input. In order to clarify this interpretation, we selected deposits formed during the latest part of the first deltaic progradation represented by the Cerro Huerta Formation, and at the beginning of the first marine transgression represented by the Cañon del Tule Formation for detailed study"--Leaves 3-4.

Book excerpt: The Paleocene/Eocene Viento Formation, the youngest shallow marine unit in La Popa mini-basin, Mexico, is exposed adjacent to a surface outcropping salt diapir that is partially welded. Viento Formation offers a rare insight into the facies distribution and stacking pattern of siliciclastic strata exposed adjacent to the welded salt diapir in the margin of La Popa mini-basin, and are analogous for subsurface hydrocarbon-bearing reservoirs. The depositional facies distribution, structural geometry and stratigraphic architecture of the Viento Formation was influenced by Hidalgoan shortening across the basin, on-going passive rise of La Popa salt diapir and eustatic sea level changes. Viento Formation strata are exposed along a ~5 km belt adjacent to La Popa salt weld, which consists of discontinuously outcropping remnant gypsum. The Viento Formation displays thinning from SE toward NW over ~900 m to pinch-out. Viento strata form a series of five stacked sequence stratigraphic wedges ranging 25-200 m thick. Beds dip vertically at the weld but dip orientations decrease to ~30° basinward. Sharp, subaqueous erosional surfaces and abundant, low-angle unconformities that becomes conformable within tens of meters distance from the diapir characterize wedge halokinetic sequence boundaries. Seventeen identified sand-prone lithofacies indicate deposition in a tide-influenced delta system and include prodelta, delta front and platform, and fluvio-deltaic facies assemblages. Overall shallowing upward depositional facies successions are comprised of shale, or rarely limestone buildup, oyster facies, horizontal heterolithic stratification, inclined heterolithic bedding, bioturbated sandstone with Ophiomorpha and oyster-shells, mud-draped ripple-laminated sandstone, spheroidal weathering sandstone, trough-cross bedded sandstone, herringbone sandstone, sandstone with wood fragments and mud ripped-up clasts, and conglomerate and conglomeratic sandstone. Conglomerate and conglomeratic sandstone contain abundant well-rounded and well-sorted black chert and diapir-derived detritus - Jurassic metaigneous boulders that decrease in abundance, size, and angularity in a basinward direction. Cyclical tectonic compressional events coeval with continuous sediment loading controlled La Popa salt diapir rise and drove episodic diapir extrusion. Viento stratal composition, distribution, and distinct geometry of halokinetic drape folding forms a tapered composite halokinetic sequence that reflects an overall increase in local third-order net sediment accumulation rates relative to salt rise rates.
