Extensional fault connection and turbidite sandbody control under pre-existing strike-slip fault constraints: a case study of the Paleogene in structural belt 4, Nanpu sag, Bohai Bay basin, Eastern China
Lin Zhao
Significant advances have been made in understanding the growth and linkage of extensional and strike-slip faults. However, under multi-phase tectonic activity, how the reactivation of pre-existing strike-slip faults controls the growth-linkage process of later extensional faults and the associated geomorphic-sedimentary responses remains poorly understood. This study focuses on the Paleogene succession of the No. 4 structural belt in the Nanpu Sag, Bohai Bay Basin. We integrated 3D seismic, cor
