(ii) {A}re halokinetic sequence models valid for other areas beyond the {L}a {P}opa {B}asin. {T}he {B}akio diapir and its well-exposed overburden in {B}asque {C}ountry, {S}pain provides key elements to address these questions. {T}he {B}akio diapir consists of {T}riassic red clays and gypsum and is flanked by synkinematic middle to upper {A}lbian units that thin towards the diapir. {T}he elongate diapir parallels the {G}aztelugatxe normal fault to the {NE}: both strike {NE}-{SW} and probably formed together during the middle {A}lbian, as synkinematic units onlap the fault scarp. {T}he diapir is interpreted as a reactive diapir in response to middle {A}lbian motion on the {G}aztelugatxe fault. {T}he rate of salt rise is estimated to be about 500m{M}yr(-1) during this passive stage. {D}uring {L}ate {A}lbian, the diapir evolved passively as the {G}aztelugatxe fault became inactive. {S}ynkinematic units thinning towards the diapir, major unconformities, slumps and other gravity-driven deposits demonstrate that most deformation related to diapir growth occurred at the sea floor. {H}alokinetic sequences composed of alternating breccias and fine-grained turbidites recorded cyclic episodes of diapir flank destabilization. {T}his work provides insights into drape fold and halokinetic sequence models and offers a new simple method for estimating rates of diapir growth. {T}his method may be useful for outcrop studies where biostratigraphical data are available and for other passive diapirs worldwide.}, keywords = {{ESPAGNE}}, booktitle = {}, journal = {{B}asin {R}esearch}, volume = {26}, numero = {6}, pages = {746--766}, ISSN = {0950-091{X}}, year = {2014}, DOI = {10.1111/bre.12062}, URL = {https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010062696}, }
