Shallow‐marine mudstone of the Cretaceous Kaskapau Formation in the British Columbia foredeep preserves a 185 m thick record of OAE2. The organic carbon‐isotope and osmium‐isotope excursions can be correlated in detail with other Cenomanian–Turonian boundary sections around the world.

Silicification and organic matter preservation in the Anisian Muschelkalk: Implications for the basin dynamics of the central European Muschelkalk Sea [PDF]
Anisian Muschelkalk carbonates of the southern Germanic Basin containing silicified ooidal grainstone are interpreted as evidence of changing pH conditions triggered by increased bioproductivity (marine phytoplankton) and terrestrial input of plant ...

Palynofacies assemblages from the onshore Potiguar Basin display a wide thermal maturity range, with vitrinite reflectance (%Ro) values of 0.46–2.72 measured from nine samples at depths of 1059–4443 m. A strong correlation exists between %Ro and Raman parameters, specifically the G‐band's full width at half maximum.

The study examines Cretaceous to Palaeogene sedimentary sequences in the Anambra Basin, part of West African rift basins, utilising geochemical and palynological interpretations to understand organic matter accumulation. Palynofacies and geochemical data indicate a predominantly warm and humid tropical climate during a time of widespread marine ...

Excavations at Tas-Silg, Malta : a preliminary report on the 1996-1998 campaigns conducted by the Department of Classics and Archaeology of the University of Malta [PDF]
The area known as Tas-Silg is situated in the south-eastern part of the island of Malta, close to Marsaxlokk harbour. In reality the place name refers to the small church dedicated to Our Lady of the Snows (hence Tas-Silg) situated at the point where ...

ABSTRACT Present day submarine canyons are active conduits for the transfer of large volumes of sediment, carbon and pollutants from continents to oceans. However, the evolution of submarine canyons over geological timescales remains poorly understood due to their erosional nature and low preservation potential. The Late Cretaceous Punta Baja Formation
