This study presents the results of paleo-tsunami investigation in marshes southern and eastern coasts Martinique Island (Lesser Antilles, France). A sand unit dated 1726–1813 cal. CE at 30 cm depth Anse Meunier represents most convincing evidence high-energy coastal flooding last 5000 years on island. Sedimentological analyses combined with tsunami simulations demonstrate that this deposit like...

The Aptian sedimentary deposits of the Castro Urdiales area in north Spain record an episode disoxia/anoxia which postdates Oceanic Anoxic Event 1a (OAE 1a). Carbonate platform and overlying facies are analysed for stratigraphy, sedimentology, total organic carbon isotopes. Lower shallow-water limestones covered by deeper-water marlstones organic-carbon-rich black lutites lower to upper Aptian,...
