the asmari formation in tang-e surkh section is composed of 294 meters of thin to medium bedded and thick to massive bedded limestone associated with marly limestone. the studied section is located in the northwest of interior fars. based on deepening and shallowing patterns of microfacies, one hst and one third-order depositional sequence during rupelian and two third-order depositional sequen...

Dasycladales are relatively abundant in the bedded limestones of the Bidestan and Howz-e Khan members of the Late Triassic Nayband Formation in central Iran. In a locality south of the town of Naybandan (northwest of Dig-e Rostam), several Rhaetian dasycladacean algae were found in thin sections. The following taxa are described: Diplopora phanerospora Pia, Naybandoporella rhaetica nov. gen. no...

The socle stones of the Great Temple in Lower City Hittite capital city, Hattusha (Çorum Province) have been studied for first time by petrographic and geochemical analysis (Sr isotope, stable trace element geochemistry). Study objectives were to determine carbonate facies stone samples used investigate their possible sources. Petrographic 10 limestone presents five clusters different microfaci...

The Velaux-La Bastide Neuve fossil-bearing site (Bouches-du-Rhône, France) has yielded a diverse vertebrate assemblage dominated by dinosaurs, including the titanosaur Atsinganosaurus velauciensis. We here provide a complete inventory of vertebrate fossils collected during two large-scale field campaigns. Numerous crocodilian teeth occur together with complete skulls. Pterosaur, hybodont shark ...

Anticosti Island, Que¤bec, has perhaps the most fossiliferous and complete Llandovery (Early Silurian) sequence in the world. The undeformed limestones are well exposed and yield extremely well preserved conodonts whose taxonomy and biostratigraphy has been studied in detail. In addition to documenting the general temporal and spatial distribution of Llandovery conodonts, a set of 107 conodont ...

The well-known fossiliferous and lithologically variable Middle Devonian Shaly-Calcareous Skały Formation in the Łysogóry Region (northern part of Holy Cross Mountains, central Poland) was studied for first time terms elemental geochemistry, carbon isotope stratigraphy limestone microfacies. Three Lower to Givetian marly-limestone successions, exposed at Miłoszów, represent middle outer facies ...

In order to decipher the paleo-depositional environments, during Late Jurassic Early Eocene syn-rift stage, at margins of Ionian basin, two different areas with exposed long sequences have been selected, Kastos Island (external margin) and Araxos peninsula (internal margin), were examined by means microfacies analysis biostratigraphy. On Island, based on lithological sedimentological features, ...
