“…No structural analyses that document Mesozoic deformation have been reported from the region, and sedimentary data permit interpretations that the basins may have been related to compression, extension, or strike-slip deformation involving basement rock. Coarsegrained, basement-derived strata are common in compressional basins (Heller et al, 1988;Fillmore, 1991;DeCelles and Giles, 1996), extensional basins (Miall, 1981), and strike-slip basins (Long, 1981;May et al, 1993;Ridgway and DeCelles, 1993;Ryang and Chough, 1997). Axial paleocurrent indicator directions are common both in underfilled foreland basins and extensional basins (Burbank et al, 1988;Jordan, 1995).…”

“…The role of strike-slip deformation in Mesozoic basins of western Mongolia is difficult to ascertain, but the apparent continuity of Lower to Middle Jurassic meandering fluvial facies across the central and southern portion of the study area suggests the development of a regional basin system that was at that time larger than most strike-slip basins. Strike-slip basins are generally relatively small features, with lateral dimensions of tens of kilometers (e.g., Long, 1981;May et al, 1993;Nilsen and Sylvester, 1995;Ryang and Chough, 1997). Sm-Nd isotopic provenance results from the Jargalant location suggest a possible source region as distant as southern Siberia.…”

Western Mongolia is a structurally complicated and little-studied portion of the central Asia tectonic collage, yet contains well-exposed sequences ofMesozoic sedimentary strata that preserve an important record of ancient intraplate deformation. In order to document the record of Mesozoic sedimentary basin development and to provide a basis for interpreting the sedimentary record of intraplate deformation, we studied the sedimentology and provenance of Mesozoic strata at four locations in western Mongolia. Triassic sedimentary strata are missing across the study area, and Lower Jurassic strata unconformably overlie older rocks of various ages. Lower to Middle Jurassic basin fill in the northern portion of the study area is dominated by coarse, granite-bearing conglomerate and arkosic sandstone (Qm 35 F 49 L 16 ) with a volcanic-dominated lithic fraction (Qp 22 Lvm 63 Lsm 15 ). Paleocurrent indicators suggest southwest-directed sediment transport, reflecting uplift of an ancestral version of the Hanhöhiy Uul, a mountain range located north and east of the study area and composed mainly of Cambrian granite and associated volcanics. In the central portion of the study area, Lower to Middle Jurassic strata comprise an upward-fining kilometer-thick sequence from coarse matrix-supported fanglomerate to fine sandstone, shale, and coal suggestive of a mudload-dominated, meandering fluvial environment. Conglomerate clasts are dominantly basalt and granite, and sandstone is arkosic with higher QmFL%L and Qp-Lvm-Lsm%Lsm than equivalent sandstone to the north (Qm 41 F 35 L 24 ; Qp 24 Lvm 41 Lsm 35 ). Paleocurrent indicators suggest transport to the south-southwest. In the southernmost part of the study area, Lower through Upper Jurassic strata record a transition from mudload-dominated fluvial environments with abundant organic matter to fluvial flood-plain and/or mud flat with little organic matter and abundant calcisols. These strata are sharply overlain by

This paper provides an overview of the existing knowledge of transform margins including their dynamic development, kinematic development, structural architecture and thermal regime, together with the factors controlling these. This systematic knowledge is used for describing predictive models of various petroleum system concept elements such as source rock, seal rock and reservoir rock distribution, expulsion timing, trapping style and timing, and migration patterns. The paper then introduces individual contributions to this volume and their focus.

“…As seen in deeply eroded outcrop exposures or from subsurface geophysical surveys, double restraining bends and releasing bends commonly define positive and negative flower structures respectively, and strikeslip bends or 'duplexes' in plan view (Fig. 1;Lowell 1972;Sylvester & Smith 1976;ChristieBlick & Biddle 1985;Harding 1985;Woodcock & Fisher 1986;Dooley et al 1999), although considerable structural variation and complexity occurs (Barka & Gulen 1989;May et al 1993;Wood et al 1994;Waldron 2004;Barnes et al 2005;Decker et al 2005;Parsons et al 2005). Single bends commonly have horsetail splay fault geometries in plan view, with strike-slip displacements terminally accommodated by oblique-slip and dip-slip faulting (McClay & Bonora 1997).…”
