Clinoforms and clinothems are important common architectural elements in the sedimentary record of many basins worldwide. The influence that they exert on chronostratigraphic interpretations, however, is often underestimated. This especially true non-marine basins, such as Central European to Asian Neogene Paratethyan where division correlation usually based fossils environmentally sensitive mo...

Of the 24 Greenland interstadials in Last Glacial-interglacial cycle (LGIC) only five are conventionally recognised Britain. This paper aims to improve understanding of LGIC Britain from a site at Arclid, Cheshire. Sediments were characterised and luminescence used establish chronology. found that Chelford Sand Formation spans 77-47 ka with sand deposited initially by aeolian but later fluvial ...

Variations in sea surface conditions and level through the Holocene Kandalaksha Bay, White Sea, were reconstructed based on study of core sediments from outer using modern analog technique applied to dinocysts addition diatoms, TOC, δ13Corg, CaCO3, grain size data. The chronostratigraphy was defined accelerator mass spectrometry 14C dates mollusk shells. results indicated an increase water dept...

Abstract The process for the formal ratification of proposed Anthropocene Epoch involves identification a globally isochronous stratigraphic signal to mark its starting point. search Global Boundary Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP), unique reference sequence that would be used fix start epoch, is in progress but none candidate sections are located Africa. We assessed currently available evid...
