A fossil salt sheet emplaced in the Jurassic in submarine conditions is described in the Eastern Alps of Austria, providing unique insights into the emplacement of similar submarine structures and their potential control on depositional systems. The salt sheet is a plug-fed extrusion emplaced due to squeezing of a salt diapir under compression. The preserved mylonitic shear fabric in the evaporites indicates radial, south-directed emplacement of the salt sheet. Tectono-sedimentary relationships record the evolution of the salt structure, from initial diapiric growth, to salt sheet extrusion and posterior collapse. Syn-extrusion sediments record the variable bathymetry of the extruding salt sheet, with reefal carbonates building up on the crestal bulge while their deeper water equivalents accumulated on the extruding salt lobe. This is the first description of a salt allochthon still linked to its source diapir in the Eastern Alps.
在奥地利东阿尔卑斯山描述了一个在侏罗纪时期海底条件下就位的化石盐席,这为了解类似海底构造的就位及其对沉积体系的潜在控制提供了独特视角。该盐席是由于盐底辟在挤压作用下被挤出而形成的柱塞式挤压体。蒸发岩中保存的糜棱岩剪切构造表明盐席呈放射状向南就位。构造 - 沉积关系记录了盐构造的演化,从最初的底辟生长,到盐席挤出和后期塌陷。同挤出沉积物记录了挤出盐席的可变水深,礁灰岩在顶部隆起处堆积,而其深水对应物则在挤出的盐叶上堆积。这是首次对东阿尔卑斯山仍与其源底辟相连的盐外来体进行描述。
