The Vaca Muerta Formation (Tithonian–early Valanginian) is the main source rock in Neuquén Basin and most important unconventional shale resource South America. In present study, organic geochemistry, electron microscopy basin petroleum system modelling (BPSM) were combined to evaluate properties related processes along a transect from early oil (east) dry gas (west) window. unit characterized ...

Saurischian dinosaurs were pneumatic animals. The presence of invasive skeletal foramina leading to large internal chambers within the skeleton strongly indicate the presence of avian-style skeletal pneumaticity of the skeleton in sauropodomorphs and non-avian theropods. While the hypothesis of skeletal pneumaticity has undergone a renaissance in recent years, it was initially promoted during t...

Abstract The Molasse Basin is one of the most promising areas for deep geothermal exploitation in Germany and target horizon aquifer Upper Jurassic carbonates. Carbonate deposits can be very heterogeneous even over a small area due to diagenetic processes varying depositional environments. preferential targets carbonate are fault zones, reef facies karstified areas, since they expected act as h...

Lower Jurassic sedimentary successions in the Atlantic margin basins include several organic-rich intervals, some with source rock potential; time-equivalent units are also identified on- and offshore areas worldwide. Despite decades of research, it is still unclear which mechanisms lead to deposition sediments during Early Jurassic. The objectives this study construct a detailed temporal geogr...

The age of tuffaceous interlayers, represented by tuffs and tuffites, which are common in the Upper Jurassic-Lower Cretaceous deposits Western Siberia (the Bazhenovo, Tutleim Frolov Formations), is discussed. nature these interlayers associated with subglobal (transfer more than 1--2 thousand km) spread volcanic ash (0.001--0.1 mm) its sedimentation burial a vast epicontinental marine basin dur...

The Dinarides, together with the Albanides and Hellenides, preserve stratigraphic successions derived from eastern margin of Adriatic microplate remnants ophiolites obducted Maliac-Vardar branch Neotethys Ocean. main stages in Mesozoic geodynamic history are: 1) rifting leading to opening Maliac Ocean Late Anisian, 2) onset an east-dipping intra-oceanic subduction Early-Middle Jurassic sea-floo...
