    Development of brittle fracture zones as passages for fluid migration within the shallow crust results in substantial petrophysical and rheological changes that strongly influence deformation localisation, promoting reactivation at evolved inhomogeneities in the host rock. A natural example of multi-stage fault zone evolution with different generations of deformation elements and mode of silica cementation was investigated using combined structural, burial, micropetrographic, geochemical and geochronological analyses in a sandstone predating the main rifting phase. Deformation mechanisms progressively evolved from proto-cataclasis, through advanced cataclasis connected with inhomogeneous silica cementation, to siliceous fluid-enhanced slip along discrete fault planes or vein formation; all of these processes are well correlated with burial and volcanic phases. The established relationships allowed reconstruction of the evolutionary steps within the fault zones as the initially porous sediment was structurally and diagenetically hardened and then softened, and the geometry of the fault system changed during rifting. The age of silica-associated fracture systems (syn-tectonic silica cementation) is constrained by early type deformation bands (having the same pattern as silica-associated fractures) occurring in the ~ 15.3 Ma pyroclastic rocks bordering the sandstone. Silica precipitation can be related primarily to structurally controlled fluid pulses and rapid cooling as fluids pass through the propagating syn-rift fractures in an initially good siliciclastic aquifer. Such large-scale hydrothermal fluid migration, resulting in tens of km² siliceous cementation, was facilitated by the onset of volcanic activity. The accompanying general increase in fluid pressure may have led to the permutation of the maximum and the intermediate principal stress axes. As a result, the early syn-rift extension switched to a transtension during the main syn-rift phase. Meanwhile, vertical axis rotations also contributed to the change in the apparent stress field, resulting in the development of a fault pattern analogous to an oblique rift. The developed fault sets, with three characteristic orientations and frequent reactivation, may have formed in relation to an inherited structural weakness zone.

    We investigated calcites and dolomites precipitated during burial diagenesis of the Upper Triassic (Norian) continental siliciclastics from sub-surface reservoirs of the northern Paris Basin (Chaunoy Formation) that experienced a thermal maximum >100°C during Late Cretaceous times. Relative carbonate precipitation timing was established via petrographic analyses. The diagenetic carbonates were further investigated by fluid inclusion and clumped isotope (Δ47) thermometry. The two thermometric datasets were interpreted by evaluating the possible occurrence of inclusion thermal reequilibration and Δ47 solid-state reordering, based on the known basin thermal history and the three existing Δ47 reordering models. By considering the fluid inclusion and Δ47 datasets obtained and the various Δ47 reordering models, different carbonate precipitation scenarios, in terms of timing and parent fluid composition (δ18Ofluid), were inferred. These results underline that in samples having experienced thermal maximum >100°C, accuracy and interpretation of fluid inclusion and Δ47 thermometry data (especially on calcite) may be biased by thermal reequilibration and solid-state reordering. The results converge towards the need of jointly applying fluid inclusion and Δ47 thermometry on the same carbonate phases to evaluate all the possible precipitation scenarios. The most likely carbonate precipitation scenarios, based on Δ47 thermometry data, point at the precipitation of two calcite phases during Early to Late Jurassic times and of one dolomite phase during the Late Cretaceous. The parent fluids possibly were original formation waters of the Chaunoy Fm. that mixed with brines migrating from the East, where time equivalent evaporitic deposits occur. The proposed precipitation model for calcites and dolomites, involving different pulses of brine migration, and the dominance of calcite phases were not recorded by previous studies on the Upper Triassic units. These latter results may be of interest to evaluate the reservoir potential of the Chaunoy Fm. in this underexplored portion of the Paris Basin.
