The Limagne Basin: a journey through modern and fossil microbial deposits

چکیده
The Limagne Basin (Massif Central, France) originated during a major, European-scale, extensive event (European Cenozoic Rift System), which led to the formation of several rift systems in foreland Alps between Upper Eocene and Pliocene. A fluvio-lacustrine system emplaced basin resulted mixed carbonate-siliciclastic sedimentation microbial metazoan buildups occupy an important place. However, deposits are not exclusive history Basin; nowadays, basin, they still form association with thermal spring systems. fieldtrip was carried out as part Microbialites: formation, evolution diagenesis (M-Fed) meeting (October 2019). objective this excursion assess diversity modern fossil (Chattian Aquitanian) sediments structures three prime locations (the Jussat Chadrat outcrops Grand Gandaillat quarry). detailed description morphologies fabrics their associated biotic components can be used discuss spatio-temporal distribution pattern. Different margin models proposed based on changes distribution, morphology size metazoan-rich through time. outcrop offers novel perspectives unravel lacustrine/palustrine cycles over time establish long-term paleoenvironmental western Aquitanian. These composed (i) lacustrine comprising organic matter-rich marls reflecting period high accommodation, (ii) palustrine made mudstones clayey paleosoils, indicative low accommodation. It is suggested that climatic, tectonic, volcanic local parameters (physiography, substrate) control deposition each different cycles. In addition, mats Sainte-Marguerite La Poix offer opportunity constrain controlling processes at origin mineralization involved microbialites preservation record.

A Review on Phylogenetic Analysis: A Journey through Modern Era
Phylogenetic analysis may be considered to be a highly reliable and important bioinformatics tool. The importance of phylogenetic analysis lies in its simple manifestation and easy handling of data. The simple tree representation of the evolution makes the phylogenetic analysis easier to comprehend and represent as well. The varied applications of phylogenetics in different fields of biology ma...
متن کاملGeological and Geochemical Features of Alborz Basin Coal Deposits, Iran
The Alborz coal basin is located in northern part of Iran. The coal deposits of Shahrood in eastern Alborz, Zirab in central Alborz and Abyek in western Alborz were studied as typical coalfields of the basin. Shemshak Formation which is the main coal-bearing sequence was formed during the Triassic-Jurassic in the basin. It consists of sandstone, siltstone, shale and claystone, which variedly al...
متن کاملExploring macroevolution using modern and fossil data.
Macroevolution, encompassing the deep-time patterns of the origins of modern biodiversity, has been discussed in many contexts. Non-Darwinian models such as macromutations have been proposed as a means of bridging seemingly large gaps in knowledge, or as a means to explain the origin of exquisitely adapted body plans. However, such gaps can be spanned by new fossil finds, and complex, integrate...
متن کاملFossil mammals and paleoenvironments in the Omo-Turkana Basin.
Although best known for its fossil hominins, the Omo-Turkana Basin of Kenya and Ethiopia is the source of one of the best records of vertebrate evolution from the Late Cenozoic of Africa. Located near the heart of the East African Rift Valley, the basin serves as an important frame of reference for the continent. The fossil record from this region plays a key role in our efforts to understand t...
