Upper Jurassic and Lower Cretaceous bashal strata are preserved in a discontinuous belt along the inboard margin of the Alexander-WrangelliaPeninsular terrane (AWP) in Alaska and western Canada, on the outboard margin of terranes in the Canadian Cordillera accreted to North America prior to Late Jurassic time, and along the Cordilleran margin from southern Oregon to southern California. Nearly ...

Herein we describe two new tribosphenic mammals from the Cedar Mountain Formation of Emery County, Utah, USA. The fossils occur in a narrow stratigraphic interval near the top of the unit (Mussentuchit Member) and date to approximately the Early–Late Cretaceous boundary (early Cenomanian, ~97 Mya). The specimens were recovered from screen-washing bulk rock samples. Both taxa are based on isolat...

Paleoclimate was reconstructed by the clay mineral assemblages of shale units of Pabdeh (PaleoceneOligocene), Gurpi (Upper Cretaceous), Kazhdumi (Albian-Cenomanian) and Gadvan (Aptian-Neocomian) formations in the Bangestan anticline. To compare with clay minerals assemblages in these formations, selected samples also taken from available formations in drilled wells in Ahvaz, Marun, Karanj, and ...

In 2013, Andra (French National Radioactive Waste Management Agency) drilled boreholes to the south-east of Paris Basin, characterise Aptian and Albian clayey formations, including ‘Argiles à Plicatules’ Formation dated as early Aptian. One these intersected this formation with an excellent recovery allowing detailed biostratigraphy (ammonites), sedimentology, clay mineralogy, isotope geochemis...

The Demerara and Guinea plateaus are conjugate Transform Marginal Plateaus (TMPs) formed at the junction of Jurassic Central Atlantic Ocean Cretaceous Equatorial Ocean. We compare their structure evolution through a combined industrial/academic seismic dataset tied by well data. show that these TMPs record complete history from to breakup seafloor spreading phases. Both first as volcanic margin...

Excellent outcrops of the upper part “Continental Intercalaire” deposits occur in Gara Samani area, southern Algeria. These strata are recognised herein as belonging to Formation, which is composed Vertebrate-rich Sand Member, Sandstone Member and Méguidène Stratified Member. The first two members from a fluvial system last member corresponds an aeolian (dune interdune) system. They have preser...

conclusions ultrasonography seems to be a safe and cost effective method to evaluate foreign bodies, especially radiolucent objects, in patients with penetrating trauma and suspicious of foreign bodies that may remain undiagnosed in radiography. availability of bedside ultrasound for emergency physicians is an important issue, since it is not possible to access the radiologist at any time of th...

An analysis of joint patterns were carried out on multiple exposures in Albian to Turonian strata belonging the Abakaliki Formation (Asu River Group) and Eze-Aku (Eze-Aku eastern flank Anticlinorium Southern Benue Trough. The was using FracPaQ a MATLAB based toolbox for quantification fracture patterns. tool used calculate density, intensity traces; quantify scaling distributions, determine dil...
