Biostratigraphy Of Paleogene Diatom Assemblages In The Southern Ocean, Angela Kaup
Biostratigraphy Of Paleogene Diatom Assemblages In The Southern Ocean, Angela Kaup
Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
The record of siliceous microfossil sedimentation in the high latitude South Atlantic Ocean has great potential for dating seismic and stratigraphic units. Over the last several decades, scientists have documented diatom biostratigraphic record from sediment cores and drill cores in the Falkland Plateau and Maurice Ewing Bank region, as well as other areas of the Southern Ocean, and a robust chronostratigraphic framework is available for Neogene sequences. Given the complicated nature of ocean bathymetry, tectonic plate motion (vertical and lateral), and ocean current flow, the sedimentological evolution of this oceanic region is not well understood. Sampling sediment cores at high …
Palynology And Paleoclimatology Of The Chicxulub Impact Crater In The Early Paleogene, Vann Smith
Palynology And Paleoclimatology Of The Chicxulub Impact Crater In The Early Paleogene, Vann Smith
LSU Doctoral Dissertations
At the end of the Cretaceous Period, a large bolide impacted the Earth and formed the Chicxulub impact crater in the Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico. In 2016, International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Expedition 364 Site M0077 drilled into the buried peak ring of the crater, recovering a marine Paleocene to early Eocene post-impact section deposited on top of the impact breccia. Palynological analysis of 195 samples from the post-impact section has yielded the first pre-Holocene vegetational record from inside the Chicxulub impact crater and the first palynological record of the recovery of life following the end-Cretaceous mass extinction from inside the …

Dictyoconus Aydimi (Gallardo-Garcia And Serra-Kiel, 2016) Comb. Nov., Larger Benthicforaminifera From The Middle-Upper Eocene Of The Middle East (Se Turkey, Iraq, Swiran, Oman): New Evidence For Arabian Plate Faunal Provincialism, Nazi̇re Özgen Erdem, Felix Schlagintweit, Derya Si̇nanoğlu
Dictyoconus Aydimi (Gallardo-Garcia And Serra-Kiel, 2016) Comb. Nov., Larger Benthicforaminifera From The Middle-Upper Eocene Of The Middle East (Se Turkey, Iraq, Swiran, Oman): New Evidence For Arabian Plate Faunal Provincialism, Nazi̇re Özgen Erdem, Felix Schlagintweit, Derya Si̇nanoğlu
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
Rogerella aydimi Gallardo-Garcia and Serra-Kiel was described from the Priabonian Haluf Member of the Aydim Formation, Oman. Based on new finds from the Bartonian Hoya Formation of SE Turkey and the Jahrum Formation of Iran, its taxonomic status is discussed herein. It is concluded that it represents a species of Dictyoconus with a simple subepidermal network (1 rafter, 1 intercalary beam) below a thin epiderm. The stratigraphic range of D. aydimi known thus far is Bartonian-Priabonian or Shallow Benthic Zone 17- 20. The distribution of D. aydimi gives further evidence for a Middle-Late Eocene faunal provincialism of the Arabian Plate …
Floodplain Response To Eocene Thermal Maximum 2 In The Southern Bighorn Basin, Wyoming, U.S.A., Eve Lalor
Floodplain Response To Eocene Thermal Maximum 2 In The Southern Bighorn Basin, Wyoming, U.S.A., Eve Lalor
WWU Graduate School Collection
Paleosols in the Willwood Formation of the Bighorn Basin, Wyoming contain a sedimentary and geochemical record of several early Eocene hyperthermal (rapid, global warming) events including the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) and the Eocene Thermal Maximum 2 (ETM2). Numerous studies of the PETM indicate environmental shifts including an overall decrease in precipitation and soil moisture, but the hydrologic response to the subsequent smaller Eocene hyperthermals remains poorly understood. In order to estimate potential precipitation changes during ETM2, I sampled floodplain paleosol horizons from Willwood Formation strata below, within, and above the stratigraphic carbon isotope excursion (CIE) that marks the ETM2. …
