calcareous nannofossil assemblages of the boundary paleocene-eocene deposits (pabdeh formation) of the zagros, dezful embayment-mansouri oilfield have been studied in detail. it consists of shale and grey marlstone with inter layers of calcareous argillites and marly claystone. we present a study focused on changes in calcareous nannofossils of the pabdeh formation during the paleocene/eocene b...

Calcareous nannofossil assemblages recovered from a long, continuous section have been described from the Sarayan region in Lut Block in east Iran. The marine Upper Cretaceous sediments of this section yield medium diverse and well-preserved calcareous nannofossil assemblages. A structural analysis of Upper Cretaceous calcareous nannofloras has revealed 30 nannofossil species. A revised zonatio...

In support of the on-going temporal palaeoenvironmental and palaeoclimatic reconstructions Neogene sediments, this study attempts describing palaeo-proxies recovered from DEL-1 Well, western offshore Niger Delta. The use standard smear slide method enabled recovery well-preserved calcareous nannofossils that depicts early to mid – Miocene (NN4 NN5) sediments. up-hole relationships between relat...

After collecting calcareous corpuscles from plerocercoid of Spirometra mansoni (sparganum), we evaluated the antigenic values of calcareous corpuscles binding proteins obtained from the cyst fluid of Taenia solium metacestodes. Immunoblot analysis revealed that cysticercosis patient sera strongly recognized 10 and 95 kDa calcareous corpuscles binding proteins. This result demonstrated that calc...

This paper presents a machine learning based approach for analyses of photos collected from laboratory experiments conducted to assess the potential impact of water-based drill cuttings on deep-water rhodolith-forming calcareous algae. This pilot study uses imaging technology to quantify and monitor the stress levels of the calcareous algae Mesophyllum engelhartii (Foslie) Adey caused by variou...

A sedimentological survey of the southwest arm of the Holocene Pigeon Creek tidal lagoon on San Salvador Island, Bahamas was conducted to determine the origin and distribution of calcareous sediments. Transect surveys, surface samples, and sediment cores were collected and examined to determine the abundance and distribution of sediments and sediment producers in the lagoon and associated tidal...

This paper looks at the changes in urban air quality and the effect on building materials with particular regard to their deterioration arising from pollution due to vehicles. The paper aims to review basic information on the likely Ž effect of NO and ozone on calcareous building materials limestone, marble, dolomite, calcareous cemented x . sandstone by examining experimental and fieldwork rel...

To verify the acclimation capacity of evergreen Fagaceae species on calcareous soil, we compared ecophysiological traits between Quercus glauca Thunb., Q. salicina Blume, Q. myrsinaefolia Blume, and Castanopsis cuspidata (Thunb.) Schottky as typical woody species from southwestern Japan. We also examined the inoculation effects of the ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi Astraeus hygrometricus and Scler...

Biomineralization in calcareous dinophytes (Thoracosphaeracaea, Peridiniales) takes place in coccoid cells and is presently poorly understood. Vacuolar crystal-like particles as well as collection sites within the prospective calcareous shell may play a crucial role during this process at the ultrastructural level. Using transmission electron microscopy, we investigated the ultrastructure of co...
