Abstract The Svalbard Composite Tectono-Sedimentary Element (SCTSE) is located on the northwestern corner of Barents Shelf and comprises a Carboniferous–Pleistocene sedimentary succession. Due to Cenozoic uplift, succession subaerially exposed in archipelago. oldest parts consist Carboniferous–Permian mixed siliciclastic, carbonate evaporite, spiculitic sediments that developed during multiple ...

The Cretaceous/Paleogene (K/Pg) boundary is marked by one of the largest mass extinctions in Earth’s history, with geological evidence for this event being expressed hundreds locations worldwide. An extensively studied section located near El Kef, northwestern Tunisia, characterized classic iridium-rich K/Pg layer, abundant and well-preserved microfossils, apparently continuous sedimentation th...

Abstract The Paleocene-Lower Eocene N'kapa Formation has long been considered as an important groundwater and hydrocarbon resource in the eastern edge of Douala Basin. present study’s aim is to establish a possible link between geological nature this formation quality potential aquifers using Gamma Ray well log, cuttings outcrops through sedimentology sequence stratigraphy studies. results obta...

We studied Upper Cretaceous and Lower Paleogene benthic foraminifera from the Agost section (southeastern Spain) to infer paleobathymetrical changes and paleoenvironmental turnover across the Cretaceous/Paleogene (K/P) transition. Benthic foraminifera indicate uppermost bathyal depths at Agost during the Abathomphalus mayaroensis Biochron (from about 400 kyr before the K/P boundary) through the...

Abstract The Latest Danian Event (LDE, ~ 62.2 Ma) is characterized by global changes in the carbon cycle as indicated two negative ? 13 C excursions of up to 1‰. These shifts are accompanied a 2–3 °C warming both surface and deep waters based on benthic planktic foraminiferal 18 O measurements, LDE has, thus, been considered so-called hyperthermal event. event lasted for 200 kyr has identified ...

The reactivation of faults and possible impact on barrier integrity marks a critical aspect for investigations subsurface usage capabilities. Glacial isostatic adjustments, originating from repeated Quaternary glaciations northern Europe, cause tectonic stresses pre-existing fault systems structural elements the North German Norwegian–Danish basins. Notably, our current understanding dynamics s...

The Faxe limestone quarry in eastern Denmark exposes Danian (Lower Paleocene) cool-water carbonate deposits. They constitute remnants of an apparent build-up that covers about 12 km2 today. deposits at are conspicuous due to their pronounced thickness coral relative the regional system. In quarry, scleractinian corals uniquely exposed up 30 m high mounds. rapid accumulation scleractinians combi...
