The Great Basin Pliocene-Pleistocene Lake Tecopa in southeastern California formed in part due to dammming of the ancestral Amargosa River by an antiformal uplift known as the Tecopa Hump. Previous studies concluded that tectonic processes were inconsequntial to lake deposition. Here four stratigraphic sections are measured, described, and compared to sections previously done throughout the basin to discern tectonic influences on lake processes. The southern Tecopa Basin is characterized by a tectonically controlled fan-delta complex intertonguing lacustrine sediments. Joint orientations and bedding attitudes collected on three time horizons, the Lava Creek B tuff (665 ka), Bishop tuff (758 ka), and the C Tuff (2.1 Ma), suggest at least 50 m of uplift during the Quaternary associated with highly variable stress field perturbations. Rising lake level most likely competed with uplift such without uplift lake spillover into southern Death Valley would have occured earlier. .
A comprehensive and richly illustrated overview of the Gulf of Mexico Basin, including its reservoirs, source rocks, tectonics and evolution.
"AAPG Memoir 79, The Circum-Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean, is the first volume in more than a decade to document such a wide range of research on the geology of this vast area. Of the total 44 papers, roughly two-thirds pertain to the Gulf of Mexico, with an emphasis on the Mexican portion of the basin, and to the petroliferous areas of the southern Caribbean, including Colombia, Venezuela, Cuba, and Trinidad and Tobago. The remaining papers relate to the Antilles and Central America, as well as a series of papers that address region-wide topics such as plate tectonic evolution. A significant number of papers were contributed by authors from national oil companies and universities from within the region." --AAPG.
