Reassessment of the Position of the Plio-pleistocene Boundary: Is There a Case for Lowering It to the Gaussimatuyama Palaeomagnetic Reversal?
Forty eight years have elapsed since formal discussions were initiated, in 1948, on the position of the PlioPleistocene boundary. At the 18th International Geological Congress held in London during that year the Commission on the Plio-Pleistocene boundary recommended that “the Lower Pleistocene should include as its basal member the marine Calabrian Formation together with its terrestrial (cont...
متن کاملOrigin of the Plio-Pleistocene Vrica laminites" Organic geochemical evidence
Meyers, P.A., 1993. Origin of the Plio-Pleistocene Vrica laminites: Organic geochemical evidence. Mar. Geol., 115: 117-127. Organic geochemical properties of samples from lower Pleistocene laminite Layer H at Vrica, Calabria, have been examined for evidence of the origin of these dark-colored sediments. The laminite samples are geochemically distinct from the surrounding gray marly clays. They ...
متن کاملArid climate 2 . 5 Ma in the Plio - Pleistocene Valdarno Basin ( Northern Apennines , Italy )
Distinctive, eolian-dominated sandy deposits 35 m thick exposed along the SW margin of the Plio-Pleistocene Valdarno Basin in the Northern Apennines, Italy, reflect an unusually arid period in the region. Paleomagnetic investigation and Ar/Ar dating of a tephra layer, 10 m above the eolian sand, suggest that the sand was deposited between about 2.7 and 2.4 Ma. This age is coeval with the global...
متن کاملStable Eocene Magnetization Carried by Magnetite and Iron Sulphides in Marine Marls (pamplona-arguis Formation, Southern Pyrenees, Northern Spain)
In order to establish the magnetic carriers and assess the reliability of previous paleomagnetic results obtained for Eocene marine marls from the south Pyrenean basin, we carried out a combined paleoand rock-magnetic study of the Pamplona-Arguis Formation, which crops out in the western sector of the southern Pyrenees (N Spain). The unblocking temperatures suggest that the characteristic reman...
متن کاملMorphoarchitectural variation in South African fossil cercopithecoid endocasts.
Despite the abundance of well-preserved crania and natural endocasts in the South African Plio-Pleistocene cercopithecoid record, which provide direct information relevant to the evolution of their endocranial characteristics, few studies have attempted to characterize patterns of external brain morphology in this highly successful primate Superfamily. The availability of non-destructive penetr...
