Insights into the Thermal History of North-Eastern Switzerland—Apatite Fission Track Dating of Deep Drill Core Samples from the Swiss Jura Mountains and the Swiss Molasse Basin by Diego Villagómez Díaz, Silvia Omodeo-Salé, Alexey Ulyanov, Andrea Moscariello

“…Our data show that the Tabular Jura region resumed exhumation at low rates in early–middle Miocene times (≈20–15 Ma), whereas exhumation in the Jura fold-and-thrust belt probably re-started later, in the late Miocene (≈10–5 Ma). Erosional exhumation likely continues to the present day. …”

Mesozoic-Cenozoic Topographic Evolution of the South Tianshan (NW China): Insights from Detrital Apatite Geo-Thermochronological and Geochemical Analyses by Dunfeng Xiang, Zhiyong Zhang, David Chew, Marc Jolivet, Marco G. Malusà, Chao Guo, Nan Wang, Wenjiao Xiao

“…Our new apatite fission-track data from the southern Chinese Tianshan suggest that rapid cooling commenced at c. 30 Ma along the southern margin, and the Early Mesozoic strata exposed on the southern flank of the Tianshan underwent c. 4–5 km of late Cenozoic exhumation during this period. …”

Regional unconformities and their controls on hydrocarbon accumulation in Sichuan Basin, SW China by Wei YANG, Guoqi WEI, Saijun WU, Wuren XIE, Hui JIN, Fuying ZENG, Cuiguo HAO, Zhuangzhuang BAI, Yiqing SU, Rong LI

“…Second, regional unconformity mainly controls hydrocarbon accumulation from five aspects: (1) The porosity and permeability of reservoirs under the unconformity are improved through weathering crust karstification to form large-scale karst reservoirs; (2) Good source-reservoir-caprock assemblage can form near the unconformity, which provides a basis for forming large gas field; (3) Regional unconformity may lead to stratigraphic pinch-out and rugged ancient landform, giving rise to a large area of stratigraphic and lithologic trap groups; (4) Regional unconformity provides a dominant channel for lateral migration of oil and gas; and (5) Regional unconformity is conducive to large-scale accumulation of oil and gas. …”
