Exposed weapons: A revised reconstruction of the facial anatomy and life appearance of the saber‐toothed cat Megantereon (Felidae, Machairodontinae)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Megantereon was a widespread saber‐toothed felid from the Pliocene and Pleistocene of the Old World and North America, but its rarity in the fossil record makes it complicated to restore its life appearance. Lack of complete specimens makes it necessary to combine information from fossils of different individuals to reconstruct their facial ...

Dike Propagation During Global Contraction: Making Sense of Conflicting Stress Histories on Mercury

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021
Thrust fault-related landforms, smooth plains units, and impact craters and basins have all been observed on the surface of Mercury. While tectonic landforms point to a long-lived history of global cooling and contraction, smooth plains units have been ...

Microbiological influences on fracture surfaces of intact mudstone and the implications for geological disposal of radioactive waste [PDF]

, 2011
The significance of the potential impacts of microbial activity on the transport properties of host rocks for geological repositories is an area of active research. Most recent work has focused on granitic environments. This paper describes pilot studies

Waste Management and Waste Disposal Detected by Combination of Analytical Methods: Late Bronze Age Březnice Settlement Site (South Bohemia)

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Waste disposal processes and landfill management are crucial subjects in the field of settlement archaeology. Our study is focused on understanding the processes that are connected to the formation of the infills of settlement features and the recycling of the building materials (daub and wood) and waste management.

A theory of fracture of materials and its application to geology

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1950
A theory of fracture of materials is developed which encompasses shear and tension failure. The probability of fracture occurring across a given surface element in an isotropic medium is assumed to be a general function of the limiting normal and tangential stresses across that element. A modification is later introduced to allow for anisotropy wherein

The Domus Nozze D'Argento in Pompeii: Structural Diagnosis Using Geophysical Methods

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Monitoring of ancient buildings is an issue of great interest in view of a proper restoration. This paper describes the noninvasive monitoring of the Domus Nozze D'Argento in Pompeii. The Roman house, as occurred for many other buildings in Pompei, was buried in the ash from the 79 ad eruption of Mount Vesuvius.

Lithostratigraphy and depositional episodes of the Oligocene carbonate-rich Tikorangi Formation, Taranaki Basin, New Zealand [PDF]

, 2003
The subsurface Oligocene Tikorangi Formation is a unique and important oil producer in the onshore Waihapa-Ngaere Field, Taranaki Basin, being the only carbonate and fracture-producing reservoir within the basin. Core sample data from seven onshore wells
