Sedimentary and biostratigraphic records of Miocene sea-level changes in the Mut Basin (Southern Türkiye)
The Mut Basin in Southern Türkiye formed as a post-orogenic intramontane collapse depression and a thick carbonate succession consisting mainly of...

Multi-disciplinary approach to sedimentary facies analysis of Messinian Salinity Crisis tectono-sequences (South-Mansoura Area, Nile Delta): Incised-valley fill geological model reconstruction and petroleum geology–reservoir element delineation
The quality of a hydrocarbon reservoir is strongly controlled by the depositional and diagenetic facies nature of the given rock. Therefore, building...
