In 1988 regional mapping of the central Quesnel belt (the Quesnel Project; Panteleyev, 1987, 1988; Bailey, 1988; Bloodgood, 1988) continued in the Horsefly area (Panteleyev and Hancock, 1989, this volume) and in the Swift River area, north of the Quesnel River (Figure I-l 9I). In the latter area the Mesozoic stratigraphy was mapped to north of the Quesnel-Barkerville Highway (Figure I-19-2) whe...

The Lut block in eastern Iran is a micro-continental block within the convergent orogen between the Arabian, Eurasian and Indian plates. Large areas of the north-central, eastern, and western Lut block are covered by volcanic rocks of Paleogene, Neogene and Quaternary age.  Peak volcanic activity took place in the north-central part of the Lut block during the Eocene, and then dramatically decr...

The 3.22-3.10 Ga old Moodies Group, uppermost unit of the Swaziland Supergroup in the Barberton Greenstone Belt (BGB), is the oldest exposed, well-preserved quartz-rich sedimentary sequence on earth. It is preserved in structurally separate blocks in a heavily deformed fold-and-thrust belt. North of the Inyoka Fault, Moodies strata reach up to 3700 m in thickness. Detailed mapping, correlation ...

U-Pb and Ar/Ar dates from the Talladega belt, southernmost Appalachians, provide insight into the timing and nature of pre-Alleghanian tectonism in this region. Low-grade metasedimentary rocks of the Talladega belt represent the outermost preserved portions of the southern Laurentian margin, thus recording the earliest orogenic events that affected the margin, in addition to later overprinting ...

BACKGROUND A number of biotic and abiotic factors have been proposed as drivers of geographic variation in species richness. As biotic elements, inter-specific interactions are the most widely recognized. Among abiotic factors, in particular for plants, climate and topographic variables as well as their historical variation have been correlated with species richness and endemism. In this study,...

Thermal manifestations are commonly found in central Mexico as result of the volcanic activity originating from formation Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt during Quaternary. The Rancho Nuevo hot spring is one them that has not been described before with a discharge temperature near 92 °C. goal present study to provide geothermal characteristics thermal at location based on geochemical and mineralogi...
