Predictive modeling of submerged archaeological sites requires accurate sea-level predictions in order to reconstruct coastal paleogeography and associated geographic features that may have influenced the locations occupation such as rivers embayments. Earlier reconstructions parts western U.S. coast used an assumption eustatic sea level, but this neglects large spatial variations relative leve...

The ca. 1.83 Ga Trans-Hudson orogeny resulted from collision of an upper plate consisting the Hearne, Rae, and Slave provinces with a lower Superior province. While geologic record peak metamorphism within orogen suggests that these were single amalgamated craton this time onward, lack paleomagnetic poles province following orogenesis has made coherency difficult to test. We develop high-qualit...

West Carpathian Mesozoic paleogeographic development indicates the effect of a left lateral shift of the Alpine- Carpathian microcontinent along the European shelf since the Early Jurassic. The evolution during Late Triassic/Early Jurassic was controlled by convergence along the border of the Meliata Ocean and by contemporaneous divergence along the Middle Atlantic/Penninic rift. During Mid-Cre...

Palynological investigations have been carried out on samples from the Upper Devonian Hongguleleng Formation of Western Junggar, Xinjiang, NW China. In total, 26 miospore species belonging to 19 genera and 28 acritarch assigned recognized lower member Fm. in Bulongguoer section. The palynofloral assemblages, particular taxa, are similar those eastern European early Famennian Corbulispora vimine...
