Abstract The Valanginian positive carbon isotope excursion (Weissert Event, ca. 135 million years ago) documents a major global carbon cycle and climate perturbation. Radioisotopic dating suggests that this event was broadly contemporaneous with an interval of profoundly enhanced volcanic activity during the emplacement of the Paraná–Etendeka Large ...

Integration of the calcareous nannofossil and planktonic foraminiferal biostratigraphies has been performed for theUpper Maastrichtian – Palaeocene successions at Gebel Umm Khushayb and west El-Hassana sections (north-centralSinai, Egypt).

Biostratigraphy of Gurpi Formation in Samand anticline (Lurestan province) Based on calcareous nannofossils [PDF]
The present study is an attempt to biostratigraphically classify the rocks of Gurpi Formation at Samand Anticline with the help of calcareous nannofossils. The succession measures 197 meters in thickness and consists of shale, marl and marly limestone. A

Abstract The Cretaceous/Paleogene (K/Pg) Chicxulub impact produced globally synchronous enrichments of highly siderophile elements (HSEs) and a pronounced decline in marine osmium isotope ratios (187Os/188Os), forming a key geochemical marker of the boundary.

Abstract Despite decades of research, hundreds of peer‐reviewed papers, and considerable relevance to Earth's future, the rapid global warming and tremendous CO2 input at the start of the Paleocene‐Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) remain highly debated.

The Milun Fault forms the northernmost onshore segment of the Longitudinal Valley fault system, a plate‐boundary suture between the Eurasian and Philippine Sea plates in eastern Taiwan, and poses a significant seismic hazard to Hualien City. Despite destructive earthquakes in 1951 and 2018, the shallow structure, long‐term slip behavior, and ...

Based on a continuous succession of ammonite and calcareous nannofossil assemblages, the main purpose of this paper is the correlation between ammonite and calcareous nannofossil zone boundaries in two expanded sections from the Basque-Cantabrian area ...

Abstract The seismic behavior of subduction megathrusts varies spatially and is influenced by the properties of subducting plates, including their sedimentary cover. Characterizing these subduction inputs is essential for understanding the mechanisms behind fault slip variability.

Calcareous nannofossils and Mesozoic oceanic anoxic events
Abstract Twenty-five years ago, Mesozoic oceanic anoxic events (OAEs) were documented and formalised as intervals of widespread to global deposition of organic matter. The Toarcian, Early Aptian (OAE1a) and latest Cenomanian (OAE2) OAEs are truly global in nature, commonly carbonate-poor, and typically represented by organic carbon-rich black shales.
