A multidisciplinary model linking the sedimentary and tectonic histories of this structurally complex basin suggests that large amounts of extension occurred there between 20 and 9 million years ago.

Although the petroleum industry is commonly interested in the upper few kilometres of the lithosphere, it is the deeper stretching events which may drive the development of regional thermal perturbations and which may overprint a significant thermal signature onto the shallower section. The Vulcan Sub-basin, which is located in the Timor Sea, northwestern Australia, has undergone a period of rifting during the Late Jurassic and shows a classic transition from intra-continental rifting to passive margin subsidence during the Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous. A model has been developed of the Late Jurassic rifting history of the basin, which includes the flexural and stratigraphic response, and the development of the Cretaceous to Recent post- rift basin history. Quantification of the associated vertical motion of the lithosphere suggests that the transition is related to increased ductile extension in the lower crust and lithospheric mantle with little attendant upper crustal faulting to record the magnitude of this event in the structural history of the Vulcan Sub-basin. This lack of upper crustal deformation has resulted in an under- appreciation of the importance of this extensional event.By modelling the Jurassic to Recent basin history, a thermal model may be built allowing predictions of palaeo-heat flow during the critical time of hydrocarbon generation. The model predicts that during the Jurassic and Early Cretaceous, increased lower crust and lithospheric mantle extension produced a thermal anomaly of ~20mW/m2 across the Vulcan Sub-basin. The relaxation of this thermal anomaly in the Cretaceous and Tertiary produced a rapid post-rift subsidence which allowed flooding of the margin, with increased subsidence towards the northwest. However, the evolution of this thermal perturbation beneath the upper crust resulted in a time lag between Late Jurassic rifting and maximum basin heat flow in the Early Cretaceous of up to 30 million years after Callovian breakup Therefore, the simple relationship between upper crustal faulting and total lithosphere stretching common in intra-continental rifts is predicted to break dow n immediately preceding conti nental breakup and necessitates modelling of the transition from syn-rift to post-rift stratigraphy in order to predict the thermal history of the Vulcan Sub-basin.

Late Miocene and Pliocene history of the Danube Basin: inferred from development of depositional systems and timing of sedimentary facies changesThe development of the northern Danube Basin (nDB) was closely related to the Late Miocene geodynamic evolution of the Pannonian Basin System. It started with a wide rifting which led to subsidence of several basin depocenters which were gradually filled during the Late Miocene and Early Pliocene. In the Late Pliocene the subsidence continued only in the basin's central part, while the northern marginal zone suffered inversion and the uplifted sedimentary fill began to be eroded. Individual stages of the basin development are well recorded in its sedimentary succession, where at least three great tectono-sedimentary cycles were documented. Firstly, a lacustrine cycle containing Lower, Middle and lowermost Upper Pannonian sediments (A-F Zones;sensuPapp 1951) deposited in the time span 11.6-8.9 Ma and is represented in the nDB in Slovakia by the Ivanka and Beladice Formations. In the Danube Basin of the southern part in Hungary, where the formations are defined by the appearance of sedimentary facies in time and space, the equivalents are: (1) the deep-water setting marls, clays and sandy turbidites of the Endrod and Szolnok Formations leading to the overlying strata deposits of the basin paleoslope or delta-slope represented by the Algyő Formation, and (2) the final shallow-water setting deposits of marshes, lagoons and a coastal and delta plain composed of clays, sands and coal seams, represented by the Újfalu Formation. The second tectono-sedimentary cycle was deposited in an alluvial environment and it comprises the Upper Pannonian (G and H Zones;sensuPapp 1951) and Lower Pliocene sediments dated 8.9-4.1? Ma. The cycle is represented in the nDB, by the Volkovce Formation and in the southern part by the Zagyva Formation in Hungary. The sedimentary environment is characterized by a wide range of facies from fluvial, deltaic and ephemeral lake to marshes. The third tectono-sedimentary cycle comprises the Upper Pliocene sediments. In Slovakia these are represented by the Kolárovo Formation dated 4.1-2.6 Ma. The formation contains material of weathering crust preserved in fissures of Mesozoic carbonates, diluvial deposits and sediments of the alluvial environment.
