The main problems of stratigraphic taxonomy and no menclature Paleoproterozoic metamorphic formations the Ukrainian Shield are characterized by example Kryvyi Rih (Kryvyi Rih-Kremenchuk), Ingulets (W-Ingulets) Ingul structural-formation zones. In addition to existing units regional rank — series relevance identifying supra-regional tectono-stratigraphic structural-material complexes, which have...

Bayesian phylogenetic methods integrating simultaneously morphological and stratigraphic information have been applied increasingly among paleontologists. Most of these studies have used Bayesian methods as an alternative to the widely-used parsimony analysis, to infer macroevolutionary patterns and relationships among species-level or higher taxa. Among recently introduced Bayesian methodologi...

Introduction: Other than the few Martian meteorites that have been found on Earth and the data being collected by the Mars Exploration Rovers, all data from Mars is remotely sensed which lends it to be developed and analyzed within a Geographic Information System (GIS) platform. This study is being accomplished by bringing together multiple datasets from the Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC), Mars Orbi...

Sites containing Acheulian, Sangoan, Fauresmith, and Middle Stone Age artefacts occur within and below the Bedded Tuff, a widespread volcaniclastic member of the Kapthurin Formation, Kenya. The Bedded Tuff eruptive complex consists of up to twelve tephra beds, intercalated sediments, and paleosols. Two pumiceous units, high in the Bedded Tuff sequence, have been dated by(40)Ar/(39)Ar, one to 23...

Figure 1. A: Map of Charleston-Nebo salient and northernmost Book Cliffs showing rock units, thrust faults (dashed where buried), key seismic coverage (gray lines), measured stratigraphic sections (1–7; 8 is location of additional Blackhawk sandstone samples), and wells. Rock units: KTs—Cretaceous–Tertiary strata (North Horn and younger formations), Kmv—Cretaceous Mesaverde Group (Blackhawk, Ca...

The Harris Matrix formulated by Dr. Edward C. Harris in 1973 is the established way of representing the archaeological stratigraphy of an excavation. The Harris Matrix is a sequential diagram defining relations between stratigraphic units. It is an important method to document the stratification that is destroyed by the excavation process and hence a vital tool for analysis. In this paper a new...

19th and 20th century stratigraphy often concerned itself primarily with classification and nomenclature, during what can be termed the heroic and codex ages of stratigraphy. In contrast, 21st century stratigraphy will fall within the post-modern age. In possession of agreed classification schemes, future stratigraphers will concentrate on (i) the reconstruction of earth environments and proces...

Sea ̄oor geomorphology and sur®cial stratigraphy of the New Jersey middle continental shelf provide a detailed record of sea-level change during the last advance and retreat of the Laurentide ice sheet (t120 kyr B.P. to Present). A NW±SE-oriented corridor on the middle shelf between water depths of ,40 m (the mid-shelf apaleo-shoreo) and ,100 m (the Franklin apaleoshoreo) encompasses ,500 line-k...
