Paleomagnetism of rocks from Sumba: tectonic implications since the late Cretaceous

Sea level and vertical motion of continents from dynamic earth models since the Late Cretaceous

Sonja Spasojevic and Michael Gurnis physics from the University of Houston in 2003. After working for two years as a geophysicist for BP in the deep-water Gulf of Mexico, she joined the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in 2005 to work on research related to the dynamics of long-term sea level change, vertical motion of continents, and evolution of sedimentary basins, with Michael Gu...

Late Cretaceous Echinoids from the Seymareh member (Lopha Limestone member), KabirKuh Anticline, Southwest of Iran

In the present study, Kabir kuh Section, related to the Seymareh or Lopha Limestone member (Gurpi Formation) have been Selected. The member has yielded a rich echinoid fauna and 21 species of Echinoid belonging to 14 genera are recognized and described. The Kabir Kuh section yielded two regular echinoid taxa: Salenia nutrix and Goniopygus superbus, one holectypoid taxa: Coptodiscus noemiae, two...

Subduction tectonic erosion and Late Cretaceous subsidence along the northern Austroalpine margin (Eastern Alps, Austria)

The Late Cretaceous to Early Tertiary subsidence history of the Northern Calcareous Alps (NCA) records the effect of two independent basin formation mechanisms at the northern leading margin of the Austroalpine unit. The terrestrial to shallow-marine sediments of the Lower Gosau Subgroup were deposited mainly within small, fault-bound basins during a phase of strike-slip faulting from the late ...
