The First 40 Million Years of Planktonic Foraminifera

open access: yesGeosciences, 2021
We provide a biochronology of Jurassic planktonic foramininfera, using first order linkage to ammonite and nannofossil stratigraphy and geochronology. This enigmatic and understudied group of microfossils occurred from middle Toarcian through Tithonian ...

Chronostratigraphy and geochronology: A proposed realignment [PDF]

open access: yesGSA Today, 2013
We propose a realignment of the terms geochronology and chronostratigraphy that brings them broadly into line with current use, while simultaneously resolving the debate over whether the Geological Time Scale should have a “single” or “dual” hierarchy of units: Both parallel sets of units are retained, although there remains the option to adopt ...

Five Middle Palaeolithic occupations from the Early Weichselian glacial: the Soindres deposit (Yvelines). Stratigraphy and lithic industries.

open access: yesGallia Préhistoire, 2021
. The excavation of the Middle Palaeolithic site of Soindres has made possible to observe an exceptionally dilated pedosedimentary sequence, related to the last glaciation.

The Lapland greenstone belt: Stratigraphic and depositional features in northern Finland [PDF]

open access: yesBulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 1987
The Lapland greenstone belt formed in a continental environment, as a result of rifting of the 3.1—3.0 Ga Saamian craton. The basin subsided to a depth of five kilometres between 3.0—2.5 Ga and contains a sequence which is subdivided into Lower, Middle ...

Tertiary Sequence Stratigraphy of Bird Head Area, Eastern Indonesia

open access: yesIndonesian Journal on Geoscience, 2019
A long depositional period of Papua limestone called Kais Formation, which is overlain by clastic sediments of Steenkool Formation, reflects an interesting stratigraphic architecture in the West Papua region.

The Anthropocene: Comparing Its Meaning in Geology (Chronostratigraphy) with Conceptual Approaches Arising in Other Disciplines

open access: yesEarth's Future, 2021
The term Anthropocene initially emerged from the Earth System science community in the early 2000s, denoting a concept that the Holocene Epoch has terminated as a consequence of human activities.

Siğilmāsa : approche typo-technologique du bâti, processus de formation du site et gestion des matières premières

open access: yesMélanges de la Casa de Velázquez, 2017
This article presents some findings from the French-Moroccan archaeological mission to Siğilmāsa. Given the poor preservation and visibility of the archaeological remains, which makes their interpretation particularly difficult, we first proposed a ...

A Continuous Seismostratigraphic Framework for the Western Svalbard-Barents Sea Margin Over the Last 2.7 Ma: Implications for the Late Cenozoic Glacial History of the Svalbard-Barents Sea Ice Sheet

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2021
Here we present a high-resolution, continuous seismostratigraphic framework that for the first time, connects the over 1,000 km long western Svalbard-Barents Sea margin and covers the last ∼2.7 million years (Ma).

The chronostratigraphy of protoplanet Vesta [PDF]

open access: yesIcarus, 2014
In this paper we present a time-stratigraphic scheme and geologic time scale for the protoplanet Vesta, based on global geologic mapping and other analyses of NASA Dawn spacecraft data, complemented by insights gained from laboratory studies of howardite–eucrite–diogenite (HED) meteorites and geophysical modeling.

Long-term landscape evolution of the Molise sector of the central-southern Apennines, Italy

open access: yesGeologica Carpathica, 2017
This paper concerns the reconstruction of the main stages of the long-term landscape evolution of the Molise portion of the central-southern Apennines along a transect divided into three sectors (SW, Central and NE).
