Seismites are sedimentary beds and structures deformed by seismic shaking. The German paleontologist Adolf Seilacher first used the term in 1969 [1] to describe earthquake-deformed layers.

Mar 15, 2007 · The main types of seismites are reviewed following the proposed classification and are illustrated by our own case studies. The large variety of seismites, depends on the sedimentologic, hydrodynamic and diagenetic characters of the deposits subject to …

Sep 1, 2016 · On the other hand, the Castile microfolds are attractive candidates for classifying them as “seismites” for two reasons. First, the Castile microfolds are sandwiched between undeformed layers (Fig. 2), which is a major criterion for recognizing seismites (Seilacher, 1969).

Seismites are sedimentary beds and structures deformed by seismic shaking. The German paleontologist Adolf Seilacher first used the term in 1969 to describe earthquake-deformed layers. Today, the term is applied to both sedimentary layers and soft sediment deformation structures formed by shaking.

r sedimentary criteria is required to distinguish between the two alternatives. Seismite –sedimentary units preserved in subaqueous stratigraphic sequences that are caused by earthquake sha. ing (Seilacher 1969)– are potential indicators of regional tectonic activity. Here, a case study from the Qaidam Basin (NE Tib.

Feb 4, 1997 · Seismites are sediments deformed by seismic shaking. They are preserved as highly convoluted bedding, usually a mingling of previously separated strata (Montenat et al., 2007).

Dec 31, 2001 · Seismites are soft-sediment features produced by (paleo)earthquakes. They are formed after sediment deposition, before sediment compaction, and during sudden breakdown of a loosely packet, water...

Aug 8, 2018 · This new application of AMS provides an effective tool for resolving the kinematics and dynamics of a wide variety of seismites in soft-sediments. We outline a robust procedure to infer the seismite mechanism, which is helpful in recovering paleoseismic records in …
