Rotation in the Southeastern Caribbean Arc (Grenadines) Accommodated by Back‐Arc Basin Inversion
Abstract The Caribbean tectonic plate is typically modeled as a rigid plate moving along discrete plate boundaries. Isolated exposures on islands have long shown that above the Lesser Antilles subduction zone, the plate experienced contractional, strike‐slip, and extensional deformation, but the importance of this deformation remained long unknown ...

Paleocene orthophragminids from the Lakadong Limestone, Mawmluh Quarry section, Meghalaya (Shillong, NE India). Implications for the regional geology and paleobiogeography [PDF]
The late Paleocene orthophragminids, hitherto poorly known from the Himalayan foreland basins, are studied from the Lakadong Limestone in Meghalaya, northeastern India, in order to establish a systematic, biostratigraphic, and paleobiogeographical ...

Upper Cretaceous planktic foraminiferal biostratigraphy
A high-resolution biostratigraphical zonation based on planktic foraminifera is developed for the Upper Cretaceous. It consists of twenty-five biozones defined with the aid of serial and coiled planktic foraminiferal taxa and presents the highest ...

Toward a Robust Plio‐Pleistocene Chronostratigraphy for ODP Site 762
The advent of rapidly acquired proxy records provides paleoceanographers and paleoclimatologists with a wealth of high‐resolution data. These data are a boon for the community, as they enable millennial or even submillennial scale interpretation of past ...
