The relevance of lithostratigraphy in the assessment and investigation of engineering ground conditions in UK mudstones = la pertinence du lithostratigraphy dans l'evaluation et la recherche sur les conditions au sol de technologie en argilite UK [PDF]
Stratigraphy is the study of layered rock sequences, particularly in terms of their age and correlation with equivalent rocks elsewhere. It has many different branches of which some of the most fundamental are lithostratigraphy, concerning the ...

ABSTRACT Detailed analysis of Lutetian–Bartonian deposits in the Paris Basin (‘Marnes et Caillasses’ Formation) provides new evidence of concomitant magnesian fibrous clays (palygorskite and sepiolite) and early microcrystalline dolomite. Although relatively uncommon in sedimentary archives, palygorskite and sepiolite are found in a wide range of ...

The rise of pinnacle reefs : a step change in marine evolution triggered by perturbation of the global carbon cycle [PDF]
The first appearance of pinnacle reef tracts, composed of hundreds to thousands of localized biogenic structures protruding tens to hundreds of meters above the surrounding mid-Silurian seafloor, represents a step change in the evolution of the marine ...

Numerical dating algorithms of amino acid racemization ratios fromcontinental ostracodes:application to the Guadix-Baza Basin(southern Spain) [PDF]
Age calculation algorithms for the D/L ratios of five amino acids (isoleucine, leucine, aspartic acid, phenylalanine and glutamic acid) analysed in continental ostracodes were determined for southern and central Iberian Peninsula, and allow the ...

Stage boundaries, global stratigraphy, and the time scale: towards a simplification
This paper examines four facets of stratigraphic terminology and usage considered faulty and proposes corrective measures. The four perfectible areas are: (1) The system of dual nomenclature requiring discrete terminologies for the superpositional and ...

Age of Barrier Canyon-style rock art constrained by cross-cutting relations and luminescence dating techniques [PDF]
Rock art compels interest from both researchers and a broader public, inspiring many hypotheses about its cultural origin and meaning, but it is notoriously difficult to date numerically. Barrier Canyon-style (BCS) pictographs of the Colorado Plateau are
