The “South Gondwana Fauna” in the Jurassic – an example of the utility of marine Ostracods for palaeobiogeography and palaeogeographic researches
The present article is a review of a palaeobiogeographic analysis of Jurassic Ostracods from East Africa, India and Madagascar and includes also some general remarks on palaeobiogeography, biodiversity and Ostracod ecology.The palaeobiogeographic study shows the high significance of this microfossil group for the reconstruction of palaeogeographic processes, particularly plate tectonic developm...
متن کاملAge and Provenance of the Beardmore Group, Antarctica: Constraints on Rodinia Supercontinent Breakup
New U-Pb ages for detrital and igneous zircons constrain the depositional age and sedimentary provenance of the Beardmore Group, a siliciclastic succession that records transformation of the East Antarctic margin during Rodinia breakup and subsequent Gondwana amalgamation. We divide rocks previously mapped as the Beardmore Group into (1) an inboard late Neoproterozoic assemblage (probably ≤670 ...
متن کاملRe-Os geochronology and coupled Os-Sr isotope constraints on the Sturtian snowball Earth.
After nearly a billion years with no evidence for glaciation, ice advanced to equatorial latitudes at least twice between 717 and 635 Mya. Although the initiation mechanism of these Neoproterozoic Snowball Earth events has remained a mystery, the broad synchronicity of rifting of the supercontinent Rodinia, the emplacement of large igneous provinces at low latitude, and the onset of the Sturtia...

Do-Chah metamorphic-igneous complex is one of the Iranian crystalline basement complexess which is located in the SE Shahrood in northern edge of Central Iran structural zone. This complex includes a wide compositional range of metamorphic rocks such as metabasite, metapelite, metacarbonate and metapsammite, and meanwhile is host of leucogranite and biotite granite intrusions. Protolith of meta...
متن کاملStudy of distribution of 226Ra, 232Th and 40K in different rock formations and their dose estimation in and around Chickmagalur, India
Background: The concentrations of radionuclides like 226Ra, 232Th and 40K and the dose rate are measured in igneous and metamorphic rock formations in and around Chickmagalur. A total of 236 samples from 13 different locations around study area were analyzed. Materials and Methods: The activity concentrations of the three radioactive elements were determined for mean period of 25000 s using HPG...
