8 The Cryogenian Grand Conglomerat Formation (<765 & >735 Ma) is an 9 association of interbedded glaciogenic, clastic periglacial and non-glacial deposits, 10 topped by the Kakontwe Limestone cap carbonate. These units occur within the 11 Nguba Group of the Katanga Supergroup, deformed in the Pan African Lufilian 12 Arc that separates the Congo and Kalahari cratons. Correlation of regional 13 u...

The heterogeneity of the forests west of the Mississippi River in the Southern United States is strongly influenced by physiography and topography. The west Gulf Coastal Plain of southern Arkansas, northwestern Louisiana, and eastern Texas features highly productive pine-dominated forests (Pinus spp.) on gentle terrain that are interspersed by major and minor alluvial bottomland hardwood forest...

Permian stratigraphic sequences are widely distributed throughout Iranian, making this one of the best locations in the world to study15 this geological time interval. Nevertheless, some units lack detailed biostratigraphic characterization which is essential for16 palaeogeographic reconstructions. This preliminary study comprises a palynological assessment of a Permian stratigraphi...

The production of artificial stone from the agglutination of the epoxy resin fine waste can be a viable alternative from technical, economic and ecological points of views. The residue derives from the dolomitic marble produced by diamond-plated bladed gang-saws and it is usually discarded. With this new application, there is value added to the residue, reducing the consequent environmental imp...
