Lower Devonian trace fossils and their paleoenvironmental significance from the western Yangtze Plate, South China

Trace Fossils from the Campanian - Maastrichtian Enugu Formation of the Anambra Basin, South-eastern Nigeria: Implications for Paleoenvironmental Interpretation

The Enugu Formation is a member of the Nkporo Group, and forms part of the basal stratigraphic unit of the Anambra Basin in south-eastern Nigeria. The Enugu Formation has been the subject of many studies concerning stratigraphy [1], depositional environments [2; Onuigbo et al. [3], organic geochemistry [4-6], paleoecology [7], palynology [7-9] and ichnology [10]. Nwajide & Reijers [2] were the ...

Non-Avian dinosaur fossils from the Lower Cretaceous Jehol Group of western Liaoning, China

Over the past 10 years, numerous dinosaur specimens covering several major dinosaurian clades have been recovered from the Lower Cretaceous Jehol Group of western Liaoning. Among ornithischians from the Jehol Group, ornithopod fossils shed new light on the evolution of this largest ornithischian group; ankylosaurian discoveries add morphological diversity relevant to the highly specialized anky...

Origin and tectonic significance of the Huangling massif within the Yangtze craton, South China

As the oldest exposed basement and the typical sedimentary cover of the Yangtze craton, the Huangling massif is a suitable place to decipher the tectonics of South China block. Structural analysis shows that the Huangling massif has an elliptic domal shape with N–S striking long axis, an asymmetric antiform with a steep western flank and a gentle eastern flank. There, three litho-tectonic units...

shallow marine trace fossils from upper devonian sediments of the kuh-e zard, zefreh area, central iran

upper devonian sediments of the kuh-e zard area northwest of zefreh, central iran, arecomposed mainly of brown and grey limestones with sandstone and shale intercalations. they contain tracefossils such as chondrites isp., diplocraterion parallelum, fustiglyphus annulatus, lockeia isp., phycodesisp., and taenidium barretti. these trace fossils indicate a shallow marine environment
