Begun in 1997, the project has focussed on two areas, the eastern Dorsey Terrane ...

The Borden siltstone delta in Indiana and northern Kentucky contains shelly communities that are distinctive with respect to their occurrence in delta platform, delta slope, and prodeltaic environments. Isopach maps of the New Providence Shale and total Borden Group indicate that two distinct lobes of the delta existed in Indiana. The delta platform exhibits the greatest variety of habitats, in...

The El Escorial marbles (Cushamen Metamorphic Complex) along with amphibolites form metamorphic septa within the permian granitoids of Mamil Choique Formation (261-286 Ma). metamorphism, determined in granulite facies migmatic gneisses cropping out 120 km southwest Escorial, occurs at 311 ± 27 Ma (CHIME method monazite). are calcitic (calcite > 95%, R.I.: 0.5 to 2.5%) and show 87Sr/86Sr valu...
