The ancient Precambrian formations of Eastern Siberia include oil and gas source rock (SR) interlayers, but in most cases, they can’t be classified as high-carbon ones, because the actual organic carbon content in these strata is low and rarely exceeds ...

Abstract In deep bedrock fractures of the Fennoscandian shield, pyrite with “superheavy” δ34S values of up to 147‰ exists together with calcite. The extreme variability and 34S‐enrichment in pyrite indicate that microbial sulfate reduction (MSR) evolved to almost complete sulfate exhaustion in closed‐system microenvironments.

The exploration of deep layers has become increasingly important in the global oil and gas industry. The Tazhong-Bachu area of the Tarim Basin is a pioneering target for deep petroleum exploration in China, but only Wells Zhongshen1 and Zhongshen5 have ...

Abstract Rayleigh‐Taylor instabilities within the upper mantle are investigated as a mechanism for the uplift of rift‐margin mountain ranges within the continents. Our focus is on the Transantarctic Mountains (TAM). These mountains form at the margin between East and West Antarctica and have been free from the effects of subduction for about 500 ...

Abstract The tectonic evolution of the northern margin of the North China Craton (NCC) remains controversial. In this study, we obtained zircon U–Pb ages, geochemical data, and Sr–Nd isotopic data for volcanic rocks, and detrital zircon ages for sedimentary rocks from the Yufutun, Tongqigou, and Benxi formations in central‐southern Jilin Province, NE ...

ABSTRACT With northern regions warming at twice the global rate, assessing the state of archaeological sites in these areas is critically important. In this study, we used a multimethod geophysical approach (ERT, GPR, and EMI) to characterize the current geocryological conditions of an Inuit archaeological site on South Aulatsivik Island (Labrador ...

Classical phylogenies of the lower organisms are based on assumptions recently claimed to be erroneous. Alternative assumptions, more consistent with modern genetic and biochemical data, lead to the construction of new phylogenies. The new phylogenies (one for prokaryote organisms and one for eukaryotes) based on the symbiotic theory of the origin of ...

ABSTRACT The Paleoarchean Antarctic Creek Member of the Mount Ada Basalt, Eastern Pilbara Terrane, Western Australia, includes beds of jasper and white chert composed of sand‐sized silica granules that often contain or are mixed with silt‐sized particles of haematite.

Sedimentological studies in the late Precambrian and lower Cambrian rocks of east Finnmark
In eastern Finnmark a northward thickening wedge of late Precambrian and Cambro-Ordovician sedimentary rocks extends 200km from east to west, with a maximum north- south width of approximately 50km. The succession lies unconformably upon Precambrian crystalline basement, which crops out to the south.

Ductile Extrusion Triggered by Continental Collision in NE Brazil
ABSTRACT The Borborema Province in northeastern Brazil hosts one of the world's largest strike‐slip shear zone networks, active during the late Neoproterozoic assembly of West Gondwana. Whether these shear zones initiated during active continental collision or as a post‐orogenic response to far‐field stresses remains debated.
