Les formes de pièges sont extrêmement nombreuses. On distingue, les pièges : structuraux, stratigraphiques, mixtes. À l’heure actuelle, où ce sont encore les résultats de la chasse aux anticlinaux qui prédominent, on peut estimer que les proportions approximatives des différents genres de pièges, parmi les plus connus, par rapport à la totalité des gisements sont : anticlinaux plus de 60 %, pièges stratigraphiques [...] 15 %, gisements dans des formations salifères, dômes de sel, diapirs, un peu plus de 1 %, pièges mixtes [...] près de 20 %, restent encore d’autres genres de pièges. 3, record 1, French, - pi%C3%A8ge%20anticlinal
