This study presents the results derived from micropaleontological and organic geochemical analyses of mud breccia samples obtained (through gravity coring) five volcanoes (Gelendzhik, Heraklion, Moscow, Milano, Leipzig) located at Olimpi volcano field on Mediterranean Ridge accretionary complex. A thorough calcareous nannofossil semi-quantitative analysis was performed to determine biostratigra...

Re-excavation of the famous Mont-des-Récollets quarry in northern France and re-interpretation adjacent Cassel borehole have led to reconstruction one most complete Upper Ypresian Lutetian stratigraphic successions southern North Sea Basin. It includes entire suite formations members, from top Hyon Sand Formation (top NP12) base Maldegem (mid-NP15), originally defined central Belgium, extending...

New palynological and calcareous nannofossil records are presented for the Turonian–Coniacian boundary section at Salzgitter-Salder, Germany, candidate Coniacian GSSP. The proposed base of Stage is Bed 46, first appearance datum level Cremnoceramus deformis erectus, which coincident with a δ13C minimum top Navigation carbon isotope event. Palynological assemblages dominated by organic walled di...

The sequence of the coastal siliciclastic facies Paleocene-Eocene Zagros Foreland Basin is well exposed in Chwarta-Mawat area, north Sulaimani Governorate, northeastern Iraq. According to previous studies, this designated as Red Beds Series (RBS), consisting more than 2000 m fine and coarse red grey clastics. present study found recently recognized lithologies (RRLs) about 100 thick inside seri...
