Upper Paleozoic Trace Fossils from the Transantarctic Mountains as Indicators of Gondwana Paleoclimate

Pliocene Nothofagus Wood from the Transantarctic Mountains

Subfossil wood fragments up to 10 cm long and 2 cm in diameter recovered from a locality thought on the basis of diatom deposits to be upper Pliocene-lower Pleistocene (Oliver Bluffs, Sirius Formation, 85°1 O'S., between 1800 and 1900 m in the Transantarctic Mountains) were sectioned for identification. Degradation prevented observation of some wood features, but others were well preserved. All...

Continental Carbonates as Indicators of Paleoclimate

Landscape evolution of the Dry Valleys, Transantarctic Mountains: Tectonic implications

There are different views about the amount and timing of surface uplift in the Transantarctic Mountains and the geophysical mechanisms involved. Our new interpretation of the landscape volution and tectonic history of the Dry Valleys area of the Transantarctic Mountains i based on geomorphic mapping of an area of 10,000 km 2. The landforms are dated mainly by their association with volcanic ash...

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
