Freshwater Fossil Pearls from the Nihewan Basin, Early Early Pleistocene
Fossil blister pearls attached to the shells of an Anodonta mollusk from China, early Early Pleistocene, are reported here for the first time. The pearls were investigated in detail using a variety of methods. Micro-CT scanning of the fossil pearls was carried out to discover the inner structure and the pearl nucleus. Using CTAn software, changes in the gray levels of the biggest pearl, which r...
متن کاملThe cohesive Naranjo debris-£ow deposit (10 km3): A dam breakout £ow derived from the Pleistocene debris-avalanche deposit of Nevado de Colima Volcano (Me¤xico)
Mass movement processes on volcanic terrains such as landslides and debris avalanches can cause the obstruction of main drainages producing the formation of temporary dams. A good example of this occurred 18.5 ka ago when the eastern flank of the Nevado de Colima Volcano collapsed producing a debris-avalanche deposit that was previously described as one of the largest in the world. The deposit ...
متن کاملLate Pleistocene carnivores (Carnivora: Mammalia) from a cave sedimentary deposit in northern Brazil.
The Brazilian Quaternary terrestrial Carnivora are represented by the following families: Canidae, Felidae, Ursidae, Procyonidae Mephitidae and Mustelidae. Their recent evolutionary history in South America is associated with the uplift of the Panamanian Isthmus, and which enabled the Great American Biotic Interchange (GABI). Here we present new fossil records of Carnivora found in a cave in Au...
متن کاملJarosite in a Pleistocene East African saline‐alkaline paleolacustrine deposit: Implications for Mars aqueous geochemistry
[1] Jarosite occurs within altered tephra from the saline‐alkaline paleolake deposits of Pliocene‐Pleistocene Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania. Zeolites (mainly phillipsite), authigenic K‐feldspar, and Mg/Fe‐smectites dominate the mineral assemblage, indicating saline‐ alkaline diagenetic conditions (pH > 9). As jarosite is ordinarily an indicator of acidic conditions on Earth and Mars, its association ...
متن کاملProbing the microenvironment of freshwater sediment macrofauna: Implications of deposit-feeding and bioirrigation for nitrogen cycling
The effect of sediment-dwelling macrofauna on nitrifying bacteria was investigated by direct probing in their overlapping habitat, i.e., the upper few millimeters of freshwater sediments. Microsensors (O2, NH þ 4 , NO 2 3 , and diffusivity) were used at the sediment surface and inside animal burrows to record steady-state and dynamic distributions of reactants, respectively. Short-term changes ...
