Multiple-scale incision-infill cycles in deep-water channels from the lacustrine Transylvanian Basin, Romania: Auto- or allogenic controls?

From marginal outcrops to basin interior: a new perspective on the sedimentary evolution of the eastern Pannonian Basin

“…Kováč et al 1998Kováč et al , 2018Sacchi et al 1998;Uhrin and Sztanó 2007;Sztanó et al 2013a;Magyar et al 2017;Pavelić and Kovačić 2018), neither of which represent the full history of basin evolution. Generally, deep-water deposits, such as offshore marls and turbidites, are particularly rare in surface outcrops (Kovačić et al 2004;Krézsek et al 2010;Bartha et al 2015;Tőkés et al 2021). The Şimleu Basin owes its uniqueness to its paleogeographic position close to the margin of the Pannonian Basin but well within Lake Pannon, to its subsidence and deepening that was mostly coeval with that of the main basin, to its size and topography that allowed the formation of a deep-water environment, and to its early sedimentary infill that took place soon after the onset of normal regression of Lake Pannon.…”
