Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Alternative global Cretaceous paleogeography [PDF]
Plate tectonic reconstructions for the Cretaceous have assumed that the major continental blocks—Eurasia, Greenland, North America, South America, Africa, India, Australia, and Antarctica—had separated from one another by the end of the Early ...

The Mauléon Basin, in the northwestern Pyrenean Belt, is related to Early Cretaceous rifting and mantle denudation. Here we review the evolution of depositional systems in the Mauléon Rift Basin during Albian and Cenomanian time. This review includes the

Evolution of lithofacies and paleogeography and hydrocarbon distribution worldwide (I)
By using a large amount of geological and geophysical data, the geological characteristics such as lithofacies and paleogeography of 4981 geological units at thirteen key geological periods or epoches since the Precambrian in the world have been figured ...

Accretionary Tectonics of the North American Cordillera [PDF]
Continental geology stands on the threshold of a change that is likely to be as fundamental as plate-tectonic theory was for marine geology. Ongoing seismic-reflection investigations into the deep crustal structure of North America are verifying that ...

PALEOBIOGEOGRAPHY OF SOME EGYPTIAN AND PAKISTANIAN BENTHIC FORAMINIFERAL SPECIES IN THE NORTHERN TETHYS [PDF]
Twenty-one benthic foraminiferal species were originally erected from the Southern Tethys, 13 species from Egypt, and 8 species from Pakistan. Some of these species were recorded from different localities in the Northern Tethys: France, Spain, Italy ...
