Microbial mats and thalassinid shrimp: Spatial and geochemical interactions in a modern intertidal environment

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This research examines the spatial and geochemical interactions between mat‐forming microorganisms and thalassinid shrimp in an intertidal flat situated on the shores of Willapa Bay, Washington, USA. The study serves as a contemporary analog for the relationships between mats and burrowing organisms in deep time.

Early Diagenesis of Lower Pliensbachian Sediments from the Algarve Basin (Portugal): Characterisation and Relation with Tectonic Evolution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The Lower Jurassic (Lower Pliensbachian) sedimentary record of the western end of the Algarve Basin (Portugal) is made of decimetric thick layers of limestone and dolomitized limestone with chert nodules and inter-layered chert beds.

Palaeoenvironmental and diagenetic reconstruction of a closed-lacustrine carbonate system - the challenging marginal setting of the Miocene Ries Crater Lake (Germany) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Chemostratigraphic studies on lacustrine sedimentary sequences provide essential insights on past cyclic climatic events, on their repetition and prediction through time.

Microbially generated ferruginous crusts: A potential biosignature of continental input in coastal settings

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Thin ferruginous sandy crusts are common on top of sandstone beds in the Early Permian post‐glacial deposits of the Paraná Basin in southern Brazil. These crusts usually preserve wrinkle structures, suggesting that they might be a product of microbial mediation.

Indicators of hot fluid migration in sedimentary basins: evidence from the UK Atlantic Margin [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Microthermometric, petrographic and isotopic methods have been used to detect evidence for hot fluid flow in Mesozoic and Tertiary sediments from the NW UK continental margin, West of Shetland. New data presented here show that temperatures are hotter by

Sedimentary biogeochemical provinces in the northern limit of the oxygen minimum zone from the northeastern Mexican Pacific

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Continental margins are reservoirs of materials of terrestrial and marine origin, and they play a crucial role in understanding the spatial and temporal variability of biogeochemical cycles. This, in turn, provides insights into the development and intensity of oxygen minimum zones (OMZs).

Chemical weathering and provenance evolution of Holocene–Recent sediments from the Western Indus Shelf, Northern Arabian Sea inferred from physical and mineralogical properties [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We present a multi-proxy mineral record based on X-ray diffraction and diffuse reflectance spectrophotometry analysis for two cores from the western Indus Shelf in order to reconstruct changing weathering intensities, sediment transport, and provenance ...

Spherulite in the modern aragonitic travertine stromatolite has a calcite core with exopolymers

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Spherulites are spherical to ellipsoidal particles formed by various crystalline substances and can be abiotically synthesised in the laboratory. Among various spherulite types, spherulites composed of calcium carbonate are also found in various natural environments, but their abiotic or biotic origins are still controversial.

Sources and mechanisms for the enrichment of highly reactive iron in euxinic Black Sea sediments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The deep basinal euxinic sediments of the Black Sea are enriched in iron that is highly susceptible to sulfidization compared to oxic/suboxic continental margin sediments in the Black Sea and oxic/dysoxic continental margin and deep-sea sediments ...
