摘要
The Messinian Salt Giant in the Proven & ccedil;al Basin represents a good example to study salt tectonics: salt deposition occurred throughout the basin well after basin opening, with a tectonic context stable since similar to 16 Ma, in a closed system. Also, the youth of salt tectonics has led to less mature structures and an evolutionary history that is easier to decipher than in older salt-bearing margins. We conducted an analysis of the chronology of salt deformation, from its deposition to the present-day, thanks to the basin-wide correlation of the Late Miocene and Pliocene-Pleistocene stratigraphic markers. The large seismic dataset provided detailed analysis of the causes and timing of salt deformation at a regional level. The salt tectonics started relatively early, during the Messinian Upper Unit (UU) deposition (phase 1) in the deepest part of the basin. From the Pliocene to the present-day, salt movement is divided into two more main phases (phases 2 and 3), the first of small intensity, occurred during the Pliocene and the second, more intense, during the Pleistocene. The geometric relationship between salt tectonics and crustal nature domains has revealed, regardless of the timing deformation phases, a more rapid and intense salt deformation above the proto-oceanic crust domain than in the continental or transitional crust domain. This observation, remaining unexplained, emphasizes the role of the influence of crustal nature, associated thermal regime and fluid circulation system on salt tectonics. Le G & eacute;ant Salif & egrave;re Messinien dans le Bassin Proven & ccedil;al repr & eacute;sente un exemple appropri & eacute; pour & eacute;tudier la tectonique salif & egrave;re : le sel s'est d & eacute;pos & eacute; dans tout le bassin bien apr & egrave;s le rifting, dans un contexte tectonique stable depuis environ 16 millions d'ann & eacute;es et dans un syst & egrave;me ferm & eacute;. De plus, l'& acirc;ge de la tectonique salif & egrave;re a conduit & agrave; des structures moins complexes et & agrave; une histoire & eacute;volutive plus facile & agrave; d & eacute;chiffrer que dans les marges salif & egrave;res plus anciennes. Nous avons men & eacute; une analyse de la chronologie de la d & eacute;formation du sel, depuis son d & eacute;p & ocirc;t jusqu'& agrave; nos jours, gr & acirc;ce & agrave; la corr & eacute;lation & agrave; l'& eacute;chelle du bassin des marqueurs stratigraphiques du Mioc & egrave;ne sup & eacute;rieur et du Plioc & egrave;ne-Pl & eacute;istoc & egrave;ne. Le vaste ensemble de donn & eacute;es sismiques a permis une analyse d & eacute;taill & eacute;e des causes et du timing de la d & eacute;formation du sel & agrave; un niveau r & eacute;gional. La tectonique salif & egrave;re a commenc & eacute; relativement t & ocirc;t, pendant le d & eacute;p & ocirc;t de l'Unit & eacute; Sup & eacute;rieure Messinienne (UU) (phase 1) dans la partie la plus profonde du bassin. Du Plioc & egrave;ne jusqu'& agrave; nos jours, la d & eacute;formation du sel est divis & eacute;e en deux phases principales suppl & eacute;mentaires (phases 2 et 3), la premi & egrave;re de faible intensit & eacute;, survenue pendant le Plioc & egrave;ne et la seconde, plus intense, pendant le Pl & eacute;istoc & egrave;ne. La relation g & eacute;om & eacute;trique entre la tectonique salif & egrave;re et les domaines de nature crustale a r & eacute;v & eacute;l & eacute;, ind & eacute;pendamment des phases de d & eacute;formation temporelle : une d & eacute;formation du sel plus rapide et plus intense au-dessus du domaine de la cro & ucirc;te proto-oc & eacute;anique que dans le domaine de la cro & ucirc;te continentale ou transitionnelle. Cette observation, qui reste inexpliqu & eacute;e, souligne le r & ocirc;le de l'influence de la nature crustale, du r & eacute;gime thermique associ & eacute; et du syst & egrave;me de circulation des fluides sur la tectonique salif & egrave;re.
