Fault‐controlled base‐of‐scarp deposits

Abstract: Fault-controlled deposits develop in tectonically active basins forming tens of meters to hundreds of meters thick successions. Usually, the higher the syn-depositional cumulative displacement created by the fault, the thicker the deposit stacks (Hardy, Dart, & Waltham, 1994). Fault-controlled depositional systems have long been studied to improve the understanding and prediction of sand-and gravel-body architectures in analogous subsurface systems (Colella, 1988a;

“…The depositional scenario reconstructed for the studied sections can be referred to a proximal deltaic setting or a ‘base of scarp’ environment (e.g. Chiarella et al., 2020) located at the entrance of a subaqueous canyon system. The first hypothesis is based on the observation of mouth‐bar conglomerates (Facies A1 ) that, although with immature textural features, exhibit cross‐stratification typical of proximal delta front, where also coarse‐grained deposits are shaped into bars, because of the effect of fluvial inertial transport (Postma, 1984; Kazanci & Varol, 1990; Orton & Reading, 1993; Van Yperen et al., 2020).…”

The second hypothesis is indicated by the absence of wave‐related sedimentary structures at the top of the channelized deposits, replaced by facies clearly indicative of unidirectional tidal reworking (Chiarella et al., 2020). The preservation of tidal deposits points to a relatively deep (i.e.…”
