For a hundred years the Saint Jacques area has been known to produce rich Oligocene vertebrate fossils, yet only handful of previous studies have focused on this area. Since 2010, we conducted 12 field expeditions Jacques, and here report findings from our paleontological excavations stratigraphical investigations. Twenty-two fossiliferous blocks across are recognized chronostratigraphic framew...

The about 2055-Ma-old mafic to ultramafic Uitkomst Complex in the Mpumalanga Province of South Africa hosts low-grade-large-tonnage Ni-Cu-PGE deposit, Nkomati. complex is regarded represent a satellite Bushveld and feeder an eroded magmatic reservoir southeast. Aeromagnetic surveys previous drilling indicated overall northwestern-downdip extension complex, but question what extent which express...

The research objects included a book section on the Vendian stratigraphy of Yazvinsko-Kosva sub-zone Kvarkush-Kamenogorsk meganticlinorium, written for Explanatory note to sheet O-40 – Perm State Geological Map 1000/3 Russian Federation, as well results obtained in course various thematic (stratigraphic, paleontological, litho- and isotope-geochemical, etc.) studies sedimentar...

Abstract Study of secondary dolomitization and documentation the evolution basinal fluids host rock, especially that fine-grained deepwater carbonate mudstone are interest toward reservoir characterization. From this perspective, field characteristics in relation to mineralogy, petrography geochemistry Paleaozoic carbonates Kinta Valley, Peninsular Malaysia, were investigated documented. A tota...

Marine red beds (MRBs), also known as oceanic (ORBs), are reddish colored sediments deposited within the marine realm that have been stained during deposition and/or early diagenesis because of changes in ocean water chemistry response to paleoceanographic and paleoclimatological factors. Although common throughout Phanerozoic, mostly investigated Upper Cretaceous successions CORBs (Cretaceous ...

Abstract Bikaner–Nagaur basin is located in the northwestern part of India and lies on rising flank Punjab platform Middle Indus Pakistan. Existence Neoproterozoic-Cambrian petroleum system was confirmed by exploration activities western periphery basin, whereas vast areas central eastern parts remain unexplored. Knowledge this unexplored limited due to non-availability data. Recently, 2525 lin...

Large volume of evaporites were deposited during the Messinian Salinity Crisis (MSC) across Mediterranean. These are currently outcropping on land and interpreted by seismic profiles beneath Mediterranean floor. Biostratigraphic, magnetostratigraphic astrochronologic data recovered from sediments below above evaporites, together with gypsum facies associations stratigraphic cyclicity, cornersto...

The Cenomanian–Turonian boundary (CTB) on the intra-Tethyan Adriatic Carbonate Platform (AdCP) is generally characterised by a transition between microbially laminated and/or bioclastic limestones to calcisphere-rich massive limestone with bioturbated intervals, organic-rich interbeds, firmgrounds, as well neptunian dikes, carbonate turbidites, tempestites and slumped structures. Compilation of...

Objectives: North Odisha Iron Ore Craton (NOIOC) is a distinguished place for iron formation with Banded Formation (BIF) as common and abundant litho type. In few localities in Bonai-Keonjhar belt (BK belt) Channel Deposits (CID) specifically detrital type of deposits occur along BIF. Chamakpur-Inganjharan sector BK located on both sides bank the River Baitarani occupied by Detrital (DID) varyi...
