Structure, generation and preservation of upward fining, braided stream cycles in the Old Red Sandstone of ScotlandCambridge University Press (CUP) - Tập 71 Số 1 - Trang 29-46 - 1980
B. J. Bluck
ABSTRACTA sequence of upward fining cycles contain braid bar structures in the
coarse member. Bars, medially placed in the stream are recognised either by
radiating large foresets or by identifying bar tail sediments with converging
dips to their foresets. Lateral bars are recognised by the growth of major
sandstone sheets oblique to the direction of channel trend and over slough
mudstone. The fin... hiện toàn bộ
A new large lamniform shark from the uppermost Gearle Siltstone (Cenomanian, Late Cretaceous) of Western AustraliaCambridge University Press (CUP) - Tập 90 Số 1 - Trang 49-66 - 1999
Mikael Siverson
AbstractAn association of 100 teeth and 15 vertebrae from a large, lamniform
shark, is described from the uppermost part of the Gearle Siltstone in the
Giralia Anticline, Southern Carnarvon Basin, Western Australia. The material
represents a new genus and species: Cardabiodon ricki. The taxon is referred to
the new family Cardabiodontidae on the basis of its dental formula and uniquely
oversized l... hiện toàn bộ
Collision zone between the Kohistan arc and the Asian plate in NW PakistanCambridge University Press (CUP) - Tập 76 Số 4 - Trang 463-479 - 1985

ABSTRACTThis paper describes the suture zone between the Asian plate and the
accreted Kohistan island arc in the Chitral district of NW Pakistan.The southern
part of the Asian plate consists of two tectonic units separated by the
N-dipping Reshun fault. The northwestern unit comprises Devonian carbonates and
quartzites overlain by Devonian to Permian shales and slates with some
limestones (Lun sha... hiện toàn bộ
An alternative astronomical calibration of the lower Pleistocene timescale based on ODP Site 677Cambridge University Press (CUP) - Tập 81 Số 4 - Trang 251-261 - 1990
Nicholas J Shackleton, Alfons Berger, W. R. Peltier
ABSTRACTOcean Drilling Program (ODP) Site 677 provided excellent material for
high resolution stable isotope analysis of both benthonic and planktonic
foraminifera through the entire Pleistocene and upper Pliocene. The oxygen
isotope record is readily correlated with the SPECMAP stack (Imbrie et al. 1984)
and with the record from DSDP 607 (Ruddiman et al. 1986) but a significantly
better match wit... hiện toàn bộ
Exploring the plutonic-volcanic link: a zircon U-Pb, Lu-Hf and O isotope study of paired volcanic and granitic units from southeastern AustraliaCambridge University Press (CUP) - Tập 97 Số 4 - Trang 337-355 - 2008
Anthony I.S. Kemp, Chris Hawkesworth, B. A. Paterson, Gavin L. Foster, Peter D. Kinny, Martin J. Whitehouse, Roland Maas, Michael Wiedenbeck
AbstractThe relationship between plutonic and volcanic rocks is central to
understanding the geochemical evolution of silicic magma systems, but it is
clouded by ambiguities associated with unravelling the plutonie record. Here we
report an integrated U-Pb, O and Lu-Hf isotope study of zircons from three
putative granitic-volcanic rock pairs from the Lachlan Fold Belt, southeastern
Australia, to e... hiện toàn bộ
Distribution of anatomically-preserved floras in the Lower Carboniferous in Western EuropeCambridge University Press (CUP) - Tập 75 Số 3 - Trang 311-340 - 1984
Andrew C. Scott, Jean Galtier, Geoff Clayton
ABSTRACTTwelve localities of Lower Carboniferous strata in Scotland (Loch
Humphrey Burn, Glenarbuck, Pettycur, Oxroad Bay and the Berwickshire localities
of Cove, Burnmouth, Gavinton, Edrom, Foulden) and in France (Esnost, Roannais,
Montagne Noire) have been investigated with particular regard to their
anatomically preserved floras. New data on the composition and preservation of
the assemblages, ... hiện toàn bộ
Experimental taphonomy: silicification of plants in Yellowstone hot-spring environmentsCambridge University Press (CUP) - Tập 94 Số 4 - Trang 503-521 - 2003
Alan Channing, Dianne Edwards
ABSTRACTDuring experiments conducted within the vent pool of Medusa Geyser,
Norris Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park, USA, amorphous opaline silica
(opal-A) was deposited on/within plant tissues within 30 days of immersion.
Initially, deposition created inter/intra-cellular films which lined cell walls
plus intercellular colloid suspensions (sols) of opal-A nano/microspheres. By
330 days, op... hiện toàn bộ
