Tidal Rhythmites as Possible Indicators of Very Rapid Subsidence in a Foreland Basin: An Example from the Miocene Marine Molasse Formation of the Digne Foreland Basin, SE France

摘要

Tidal rhythmites can represent continuous deposition over several years at a rate of a few decimeters per year. The development of these tidal facies in certain basins remains problematic with respect to the processes responsible for the accommodation necessary for multi-year rhythmite deposition and preservation.
