Record 1 2024-02-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Tectonics
  • Erosion and Weathering (Geol.)
DEF

Any rock structure resulting from removal of support and consequent collapse by the force of gravity, e. g. gravitational sliding on fold limbs, salt solution causing collapse of overlying rocks in salt basins, sink-hole collapse, or collapse into mine workings.

CONT

Brecciation and development of collapse structures in the immediate vicinity of the mineralization were associated with the alteration processes.

PHR

Solution collapse structure.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Tectonique
  • Érosion et corrosion (Géologie)
DEF

Déformation par glissement des couches très redressées sous l'effet de leur propre poids, transition entre les déformations tectoniques et les glissements superficiels.

CONT

Dans le Jura [...], il arrive souvent que la partie la plus élevée d'une assise calcaire rendue discontinue par l'érosion glisse sur les flancs d'un anticlinal, la position originelle des couches étant respectée [...]. M. Lugeon a proposé le terme décoiffement pour caractériser cette structure. Il la distingue ainsi de la «collapse structure» ou «structure d'affaissement» [...] reconnue en premier lieu en Iran par Harrison et Falcon et dont le «Chapeau de Gendarme» est un exemple jurassien. Décoiffement et collapse structure sont des phénomènes tectoniques mineurs qui traduisent dans la morphologie les dernières manifestations de la tectogenèse.

CONT

Une bréchification et la formation de structures d'effondrement aux environs immédiats des zones minéralisées sont d'autres manifestations des processus d'altération.

PHR

Structure d'effondrement par dissolution.

Record 2 2015-02-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Anthropology
CONT

While bulldozing salt from the Chehrabad Salt Mine, Iranian miners recently uncovered the sixth "salt man" to be found in the last fifteen years. These "salt men" are in fact ancient corpses killed or crushed in the cave and mummified by the extreme conditions. Hair, flesh and bone are all preserved by the dry salinity of the cave, and even internal organs such as stomachs and colons have been found intact.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Anthropologie
CONT

On connaît sous le nom d'hommes de sel un ensemble de six corps humains datant de l'Antiquité tardive et préservés par momification naturelle dans la mine de sel de Chehrâbâd [...] (Iran). Il s'agit de quatre hommes adultes, un adolescent et une femme. Le premier de ces hommes de sel a été découvert en 1993. [...] Les études archéologiques incluant une datation au carbone 14 de différents échantillons d'ossements et de textiles ont permis d'évaluer l'âge de l'homme de sel à 1700 ans.

Domaine(s)
  • Gestion des déchets
