This book was released on 1982 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sierra Madre Oriental between Saltillo, Monterrey, and Linares shows a bend in structures that strike from approximately N 35° E to about N 35° W. Most of the rocks involved in the Curvature of Monterrey are Mesozoic in age and range from Late Triassic to Late Cretaceous. Large amplitude folds and thrust faults contribute to the structural complexity of this region. The structural trends present in northeast Mexico are the result of the Late Paleocene-Early Eocene Laramide Orogeny, and their different styles of folding are intimately related to the fundamental landforms of Early Mesozoic paleogeography. Relatively mild deformation is shown in the Mesozoic sedimentary cover that overlies the stable paleocontinental basement highs of the Coahuila, La Mula and Monclova Islands, Tamaulipas Archipelago, and El Burro-Peyotes Peninsula. The tight folding observed in the Sierra Madre Oriental is the result of regional northeastward décollement blocked by the basement highs. Two prominent west-northwest-trending lineaments transect the region: herein named the "Boquillas-Sabinas" and "Sierra Mojada-China" Lineaments. Prominent paleogeographic highs lie on the outside of the area bounded by these lineaments, with the area between occupied by major basins and small "islands". Recurrent motion along these lineaments seems likely and movement along them in Early Mesozoic time blocked out the paleogeographic elements discussed in this dissertation. It is proposed in this study that the structural features of northeast Mexico are the result of a sinistral relative movement of southern United States (westward) with respect to northern Mexico (eastward) during the Laramide Orogeny, contemporaneously with a regional décollement event produced by the tilting toward the northeast of the so-called "Unnamed Occidental Continent" . Thus from the detailed study of the mapped structures and stratigraphic sequences at the Curvature of Monterrey, and from detailed interpretations of satellite photographs, the model presented here for the mechanism of deformation of northeast Mexico explains not only the bend in structures at the Curvature of Monterrey, but also most of the structural trends in northeast Mexico, including the en e[]chelon folds in the Sabinas Gulf

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "AAPG Memoir 79, The Circum-Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean, is the first volume in more than a decade to document such a wide range of research on the geology of this vast area. Of the total 44 papers, roughly two-thirds pertain to the Gulf of Mexico, with an emphasis on the Mexican portion of the basin, and to the petroliferous areas of the southern Caribbean, including Colombia, Venezuela, Cuba, and Trinidad and Tobago. The remaining papers relate to the Antilles and Central America, as well as a series of papers that address region-wide topics such as plate tectonic evolution. A significant number of papers were contributed by authors from national oil companies and universities from within the region." --AAPG.

This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Late Cretaceous-Paleogene Laramide shortening within the Sierra Madre Oriental fold-thrust belt (SMO) along the western margin of the Gulf of Mexico is the product of shallow subduction of the Farallon plate beneath the western margin of Mexico. Changes in detachment strengths during this thin-skinned shortening episode created alternating salient and recesses along the 1500-km strike of the SMO that include the ~200-km-long Potosi recess located southwest of the city of Ciudad Victoria. I propose that the observed orogenic curvature of the SMO is controlled by evaporite remobilization by the Laramide thrust detachment evaporates. Salients of the SMO are underlain by evaporates while areas like the Potosi recess lack underlying evaporites. In addition to these stratigraphic controls of the SMO, the linear frontal thrusts of SMO were influenced by inversion of a linear, pre-existing rift of Jurassic age and by thrusting of weak Upper Cretaceous shales. In this study I used previously published geologic maps, well data, and new interpretations of satellite and magnetic data to provide insights into the formation of the Potosi recess. Results of this study include the following: 1) Frontal thrusts along the leading edge of SMO dominantly occur along weak Upper Cretaceous shales and are located above a partially inverted and linear Jurassic rift system related to the opening of the Gulf of Mexico; 2) Salients north and south of the Potosi recess are controlled by the presence of two salt bodies known from well data compiled in this thesis; 3) Topographic variation and previous thermochronologic studies along the leading edge of the SMO suggest that a late stage (30-40 Ma), thick-skinned Laramide event inverted the Jurassic rift system at differing amounts along its strike.
