Provenance records of the North Jiangsu Basin, East China: Zircon U–Pb geochronology and geochemistry from the Paleogene Dainan Formation in the Gaoyou Sag

Journal of Palaeogeography, 2014
Detailed zircon U–Pb dating and whole-rock geochemical analyses were carried out on the sedimentary rocks of the Paleogene Dainan Formation from Gaoyou Sag in the North Jiangsu Basin, East China. Whole-rock rare earth element characteristics suggest that

Assessing the Vulnerability of an Inuit Archaeological Site in a Changing Periglacial Environment: A Novel Multimethod Geophysical Approach in Arctic Geoarchaeology

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
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 ...

India-Antarctica collisional ridge structure below Nellore Schist and Eastern Ghats Belts as revealed by seismic studies

Geosystems and Geoenvironment, 2022
In Columbia, Rodinia and Gondwana supercontinental assembly periods, eastern margin of India lay quite close to the east Antarctica. During these periods, this region underwent prolonged sedimentation, magmatism, oceanic subduction, multiple accretion ...

Microbial Endolithic Community at Meteor Crater

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Postimpact recovery and evolution in response to climate changes produced a modern ecosystem at Meteor Crater dominated by a grassland and woodland of piñon and juniper, which has been used to evaluate floral and megafaunal consequences of impact cratering during the Phanerozoic Eon of complex life.

A possible model of the Paleozoic sedimentary basins evolution at the North African platform

Известия высших учебных заведений: Геология и разведка, 2017
A dual model of the Paleozoic basins development, disposing on the Late Proterozoic (Pan-African) and the Early Proterozoic (Eburnean) crust, has been proposed.

Microbially generated ferruginous crusts: A potential biosignature of continental input in coastal settings

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Thin ferruginous sandy crusts are common on top of sandstone beds in the Early Permian post‐glacial deposits of the Paraná Basin in southern Brazil. These crusts usually preserve wrinkle structures, suggesting that they might be a product of microbial mediation.

The Himmerkinlahti member: An indicator of intra-karelian erosion within the early Proterozoic Kuusamo Belt, Posio, northern Finland [PDF]

Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 2000
The paper establishes the Himmerkinlahti Member, which is a thin metamorphosed conglomerate-sandstone unit within the middle part of the early Proterozoic (Karelian) supracrustal sequence of the Kuusamo Belt, northern Finland.

Growth and reworking of freshwater microbially‐mediated carbonates in wind‐stressed lake margins (Lago Sarmiento, Southern Patagonia)

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding the biotic and abiotic influences on the deposition and diagenesis of recent microbial carbonates is crucial for addressing the environmental and ecological significance of ancient organosedimentary structures. This study investigates these factors and their expression in the microstructure of Holocene tufa thrombolites from a ...

Petrogenesis of the Kanker Granites From the Bastar Craton: Implications for Crustal Growth and Evolution During the Archean-Proterozoic Transition

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020
Archean-Proterozoic boundary represents a significant transitional phase in the Earth's history. Bastar Craton is one of the major Archean cratons in the Indian subcontinent with voluminous granites, supracrustal rocks, and tectonic belts.
