Speleological, paleomagnetic, mineral magnetic, and biochronological analyses have been undertaken at the Gondolin hominin-bearing paleocave, North West Province, South Africa. Two fossiliferous but stratigraphically separate sequences, GD2 and GD1/3, which were once part of a large cavern system, have been identified. Although some comparative paleomagnetic samples were taken from the GD 1, 3,...

Renewable energy-based distributed generators are widely embedded into distribution systems for several economical, technical, and environmental tasks. The main concern related to the renewable-based generators, especially photovoltaic wind turbine is continuous variations in their output powers due solar irradiance speed, which leads uncertainties power system. Therefore, of these resources sh...

Deepwater lobes constitute a significant volume of submarine fans and are primarily believed to exhibit simple sheet geometry. However, recent studies interpret the geometries these deep-marine as distinct with respect complexity facies their distribution. Hence, conceptual model sediments is essential discuss associated fan lobe architecture. The present study highlights heterogeneity distribu...

Abstract Primary fluid inclusions in bedded halite from the 830-m.y.-old Browne Formation of central Australia contain organic solids and liquids, as documented with transmitted light ultraviolet–visible (UV-vis) petrography. These objects are consistent size, shape, fluorescent response cells prokaryotes eukaryotes compounds. This discovery shows that microorganisms saline depositional environ...

The hydrothermal diamond-anvil cell (HDAC) was employed as a pressurized fluid inclusion heating stage to determine temperatures of phase transitions in synthetic fluid inclusions in quartz. Using this technique, the common problem of decrepitation or stretching of inclusions having high internal pressures was eliminated. Homogenization temperatures of pure H2O synthetic inclusions determined i...
