The Sedimentary Cycle on Early Mars
Two decades of intensive research have demonstrated that early Mars ([Formula: see text]2 Gyr) had an active sedimentary cycle, including well-preserved stratigraphic records, understandable within a source-to-sink framework with remarkable fidelity.

Paleogeography of Accumulation of the Middle-Upper Permian Red Mudstones in the Kazan Volga Region [PDF]
In this work we focus on sedimentology, mineralogy, grain size, and geochemistry of red mudstones of the Urzhumian (Wordian) and Severodvinian (Capitinian) reference section of the Monastyrskii ravine to specify their depositional settings and ...

Impact of volcanism on the sedimentary record of the Neuquén rift basin, Argentina: towards a cause and effect model [PDF]
The analysis of volcano-sedimentary infill in sedimentary basins constitutes a challenge for basin analysis and hydrocarbon exploration worldwide. In order to understand the contribution of volcanism to the sedimentary record in rift basins, we study the

Controls on Cyclic Formation of Quaternary Early Diagenetic Dolomite [PDF]
The origin of sedimentary dolomite and the factors that control its formation within the geological record remain speculative. In most models, dolomite formation is linked to evaporative conditions, high water temperature, increasing Mg/Ca ratio ...
