Marine accumulations of terrigenous sediment are widely assumed to accurately record climatic- and tectonic-controlled mountain denudation and play an important role in understanding late Cenozoic mountain uplift and global cooling. Underpinning this is the assumption that the majority of sediment eroded from hinterland orogenic belts is transported to and ultimately stored in marine basins wit...

Oxidation of manganese (II) to manganese (III,IV) demands oxidants with very high redox potentials; consequently, manganese oxides are both excellent proxies for molecular oxygen and highly favorable electron acceptors when oxygen is absent. The first of these features results in manganese-enriched sedimentary rocks (manganese deposits, commonly Mn ore deposits), which generally correspond to t...

Most He in deep-sea sediments is derived from fine-grained extraterrestrial matter known as interplanetary dust particles (IDPs). These particles, typically\50 lm in diameter, are sufficiently small to retain solar windimplanted He with high He/He ratios during atmospheric entry heating. This extraterrestrial He (HeET) is retained in sediments for geologically long durations, having been detect...

The siliceous shale oil and gas in Nadanhada terrane has been studied through field geological survey, geochemistry sedimentary petrology. results show that the area belongs to a good reservoir, rock is brittle suitable for exploitation. abundance of organic matter relatively high. From west east from south north, increases maturity decreases. dynamic metamorphism thermal contact rocks are grad...

Cenozoic volcanic activity in Morocco started the Miocene and proceeded, after a short break, during Pliocene Quaternary. Calc-alkaline magmatic occurred first was accompanied by eruption of transitional lavas, followed Plio-Quaternary alkali basaltic activity, which emplaced within Neogene sedimentary basins Rif belt its foreland. From calc-alkaline to alkaline magmatism, passing through term,...
