Paleogeography of South America

AAPG Bulletin, 1947
ABSTRACT The major features of the geologic framework of the continent are outlined. Attention is called throughout the paper to the many similarities in the continental framework and geologic history of South America with those of North America.

Paleocurrents and Paleogeography

AAPG Bulletin, 1962
ABSTRACT The objective of this paper is to review the criteria used for direction of sediment transport and to outline the ways in which such knowledge can be used to make paleogeographic reconstructions. The criteria of transport direction which have been found to be most useful are cross-bedding, the various linear

Paleogeography and Paleoclimate

2011
An island extended in the Late Jurassic like a broad strip from London in the west over the Ardennes at least to the Rhenish Massif and possibly to the Bohemian Massif (Gygi 2000a, Fig. 2, adapted and simplified after Ziegler 1988, Pl. 13, and refigured here as Fig. 1.1).

Paleogeography of Turkmenistan

1994
The paleogeographic history of Turkmenistan since the Upper Cretaceous period is reviewed, with emphasis on climatic changes and development of the biota. In the Cretaceous, climate become more differentiated; seasonal temperature changes and latitudinal zonality of vegetation appeared; and the desert climatic regime was established.

Paleogeography and Provinciality

1974
Abstract Segregation of Recent biotas into geographically restricted areas led, during the last hundred years, to investigation of factors that cause provincialism and the phenomena that restrict endemic species and evolutionary lineages to particular provinces.

Pangea and the Paleogeography of the Permian

1995
In this chapter we review the paleogeographic and plate tectonic setting of the supercontinent of Pangea during the Early Permian (mid-Sakmarian) and the Late Permian (Kazanian). The paleogeographic reconstructions presented in Figs. 6 through 13 are based on the paleogeographIc maps assembled by the PALEOMAP Project (International Lithosphere Program)

Cretaceous paleogeography of Antarctica

Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 1987
Abstract During the Early Cretaceous, Antarctica formed the center piece of a large landmass extending from South America across the southern latitudes to Australasia. The eastern sector of this austral landmass was dominated by broad craton consisting of East Antarctica and Australasia.

Neotectonics and Recent Paleogeography

2021
The Northern Hellenides are characterized by slow convergence between the Apulian platform and the European margin with a rate of 8mm/year whereas the Southern Hellenides are characterized by a rapid oceanic subduction with a rate of 40–50mm/year. The Cephalonia right-lateral strike–slip fault forms a tear of the crust with 100km of horizontal slip ...

Paleogeography and Paleoclimatology

1990
Paleogeography and paleoclimates are central aspects of Project CRER that relate to all the other working groups. The initial, short-term, pilot project in paleogeograph is to prepare a map of landmasses, seas, highlands, and lowlands for the Ultra-thermal period, the latest Cenomanian to earliest Turonian.
