V.—On some Pliocene and Post-Pliocene Shells from Egypt [PDF]
The following notes have been drawn up from a small series of shells belonging to the late Tertiary and Post-Tertiary formations of Egypt, which form part of a collection of fossils sent home for determination by Captain Lyons, R.E., Director-General of the Geological Survey of Egypt.

Loess Studies in Aotearoa New Zealand
Loess in Aotearoa New Zealand (ANZ) has been studied since its first documented recognition (on Banks Peninsula) in 1878 by Julius von Haast. A decade later, John Hardcastle revealed that southern ANZ loess was both glacial in origin and contained signals of past climates.

Mordenite is a naturally occurring zeolite mineral that is the seventh most common zeolite mineral globally, forming at low temperatures (≥100°C) in hydrothermal systems. In New Zealand, extensive deposits of mordenite are commonly associated with areas of hydrothermal alteration, particularly in the Coromandel and Taupo Volcanic Zones.

The Late Miocene Southern and Central Taranaki Inversion Phase (SCTIP) and related sequence stratigraphy and paleogeography [PDF]
We present a new sequence stratigraphic scheme for Taranaki Basin that identifies four 3rd order duration (3 - 4 m.y.) sequences of Middle Miocene to Pleistocene age.

Historical Records of Tumours in New Zealand Marine Fishes
Tumours were first described in New Zealand marine fishes in 1982 but those early records have been difficult to access and subsequently few tumours have been collected and little has been published. This review updates records of identified tumours from teleosts in the New Zealand marine environment and may encourage more work to identify background ...

Arc Heat Flow and Magmatic Heat Budgets
Abstract We evaluate hydrothermal heat loss from 11 volcanic‐arc segments (∼6,000 km of arc length, ∼10% of the global total), motivated by the observation that much magmatic heat ultimately crosses the land surface as heated aqueous fluid. Heat loss takes place by volcanic eruption, geothermal heat conduction to the surface, fumarolic (vapor ...

PLIOCENE AND PLEISTOCENE DEPOSITIONAL ENVIRONMENTS IN THE PESCULUSE AREA (SALENTO, ITALY)
An integrated sedlmentologic and palaeoecologic approach is used to define the evolving Pliocene, Early and Middle Pleistocene depositional environments in the Pesculuse area.

Paleoenvironmental analysis of the Mangere Formation, Mangere Island, Chatham Islands, New Zealand : a thesis submitted in Earth Science for the degree of Master of Science at Massey University [PDF]
Mangere Island consists almost entirely of alkali basalt of the late Miocene early Pliocene Rangiauria Formation (Campbell et al., 1993) with outcrops of the sedimentary Tupuangi Formation on the east coast and the Mangere Formation (Campbell, et al ...

Our dated phylogeny and biogeographic analysis of Mantophryne, a microhylid frog genus endemic to New Guinea, revealed origins in the East Papuan Composite Terrane (EPCT) in the late Pliocene. Dispersal and diversification out from the EPCT was driven by tectonic activity and climate reorganisation, creating habitat corridors and isolations in the Late
