Evolution of bone-cracking adaptations in hyaenids (Mammalia, Carnivora)Swiss Journal of Geosciences - Tập 100 - Trang 41-52 - 2007
Marco P. Ferretti
The Hyaenidae are one of the most diverse groups of carnivores in terms of body size and craniodental morphology, and as such they represent an ideal case to study the correlation between dental, and skeletal anatomy, and behavioral ecology in mammals. However, a comprehensive analysis, based on extant and fossil forms, including both gross-morphological and microstructural characters, is lacking....... hiện toàn bộ
Discovery of Ordovician–Silurian metamorphic monazite in garnet metapelites of the Alpine External Aiguilles Rouges MassifSwiss Journal of Geosciences - Tập 104 - Trang 67-79 - 2011
Bernhard Schulz, Jürgen F. von Raumer
The pre-Mesozoic, mainly Variscan metamorphic basement of the Col de Bérard area (Aiguilles Rouges Massif, External domain) consists of paragneisses and micaschists together with various orthogneisses and metabasites. Monazite in metapelites was analysed by the electron microprobe (EMPA-CHIME) age dating method. The monazites in garnet micaschists are dominantly of Variscan age (330–300 Ma). Garne...... hiện toàn bộ
Laboratory organic matter maturation at high pressures: heat-up effect on vitrinite reflectanceSwiss Journal of Geosciences - Tập 105 - Trang 171-181 - 2012
Ronan Le Bayon
A laboratory study was conducted to assess the effect of heat-up to high diagenetic to low metamorphic temperatures on vitrinite reflectance (VR) at high pressures using the same heat-up processes, apparatus and starting material as those employed in prior experimental studies on huminite/vitrinite maturation. “Heat-up” is the isobaric increase in temperature of an organic matter maturation experi...... hiện toàn bộ
Holocene environmental changes and human impact in the northern Swiss Jura as reflected by data from the Delémont valleySwiss Journal of Geosciences - Tập 107 - Trang 1-21 - 2014
Michel Guélat, Hervé Richard
The construction of the A16-Transjurane motorway revealed evidence of Holocene sediment sequences in the Delémont valley (Canton of Jura, Switzerland). Certain processes begin during the Younger Dryas. Pine forests dominate this cold period, which was unfavourable for pedogenesis; they remain throughout the first half of the Holocene. The meandering river system then becomes stable for more than ...... hiện toàn bộ
A new lithostratigraphic scheme for the Schinznach Formation (upper part of the Muschelkalk Group of northern Switzerland)Swiss Journal of Geosciences - Tập 109 Số 2 - Trang 285-307 - 2016
Pietsch, Johannes S., Wetzel, Andreas, Jordan, Peter
The sediments of late Anisian and Ladinian age in northern Switzerland, which were formerly named Upper Muschelkalk and Lower Keuper, mostly consist of carbonates. They accumulated in a transitional area between central parts of the Central European Epicontinental Basin and its margin towards the Vindelician Swell. Oolitic intervals imply the former presence of shoals or ramps in this region. They...... hiện toàn bộ
A new basal actinopterygian fish from the Late Ladinian of Monte San Giorgio (Canton Ticino, Switzerland)Swiss Journal of Geosciences - Tập 106 - Trang 219-230 - 2013
Cristina Lombardo
A new taxon of Late Ladinian basal actinopterygian is described on the basis of a single specimen from the Meride Limestone (Kalkschieferzone) of Meride (Canton Ticino, Switzerland). The species is characterized by a single plate-like branchiostegal, a suboperculum larger than the operculum, a maxillary fixed and posteriorly expanded, a large and rectangular dermopterotic and a large triangular de...... hiện toàn bộ
