The Apennine Carbonate Platform of southern Italy witnesses nearly 150 Myr (Late Triassic to Late Cretaceous) shallow-water carbonate sedimentation in the subtropical central Tethys. During this field trip, you will have a look at stratigraphy and facies across some key intervals global palaeoenvironmental perturbation important stratigraphic discontinuities history platform.During first day, v...

During the Paleocene/Eocene Thermal Maximum, ~55.6 Ma, Earth experienced warmest event of last 66 Ma due to a massive release CO 2 . This lasted for ~100 thousands years with consequent ocean acidification (estimated pH = 7.8-7.6). In this paper, we analyze effects global environmental shift on coralline algal assemblages in Campo and Serraduy sections, south-central Pyrenees (Huesca, N Spain),...

The Lower Cretaceous Tuxen (lower Hauterivian – upper Barremian) and Sola (upper Barremian Albian) Formations in the Danish Central Graben (North Sea) constitute one of oldest chalk successions recorded globally, but have received little attention with regards to sedimentary facies depositional processes. This study presents first comprehensive carbonate analysis succession, retrieved from seve...

A coral reefs carbonate budget strongly influences reef structural complexity and net reef growth potential, and thus is increasingly recognized as a key “health” metric. Despite this, understanding of habitat specific budget states, how these scale across reef platforms, and our ability to quantify both framework and sediment production values remains limited. Here, we use in-situ census data ...

Abstract Fe–Mn concretions and mineralizations, associated with condensed horizons hardground, are significant archives in ancient carbonate rocks. Their petro-chemical study allows an assessment of the palaeoenvironmental context which they were formed also connected to their biotic or abiotic origin. At western side Monte Inici (Fornazzo section, north-western Sicily) a well exposed outcrop p...

The Dachstein platform was an extensive carbonate developed on the westernmost shelf of Neotethys during Late Triassic, now preserved in various tectonic units disrupted Alpine orogeny. Despite being focus a multitude sedimentological, paleontological and other studies, demise this remains controversial, with contrasting views timing causes cessation its growth, duration gap above, which at man...

The Pleistocene Fluvial-lacustrine of Ait Hajji Formation is located in South East of Tiddas, and in the Quaternary deposits of the Moroccan Central Plateau. These outcrops represent on a geomorphosite of great importance for the study of geological heritage, and for a natural eco-tourism valorization in Morocco. For to aim a natural tourism promotion, for indigenous peoples, this geomorphosite...
