In the southernmost outcrops of Slovenian Basin Middle Jurassic coarse-grained limestone breccia (mega)beds are interstratified within a succession that is otherwise dominated by hemipelagites and distal turbidites. this paper, these beds described as Ponikve Breccia Member Tolmin Formation. We provide descriptions studied sections with detailed geological maps analysis lithoclasts. From latter...

A sedimentological survey of the southwest arm of the Holocene Pigeon Creek tidal lagoon on San Salvador Island, Bahamas was conducted to determine the origin and distribution of calcareous sediments. Transect surveys, surface samples, and sediment cores were collected and examined to determine the abundance and distribution of sediments and sediment producers in the lagoon and associated tidal...

The microfacies analysis and porosity evolution of the Khurmala Formation (Paleocene-Early Eocene) were studied in Gomaspan Sheraswar sections High Folded Zone, northeastern Erbil City, Kurdistan Region (N-Iraq). Lithologically, section is about 23.5 m comprised thick to massive bedded brecciated grey dolomitic limestone lower middle parts interbedding medium beds yellow calcareous shale upper ...

The Yacoraite Formation (Salta rift, Argentina) consists of Maastrichtian–Danian lacustrine carbonate and siliciclastic deposits with interbedded volcanic ash layers, organized in four third-order stratigraphic sequences. It offers the exceptional opportunity to jointly apply situ zircon U-Pb laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry geochronology that resulted two distinct de...

The Ediacaran−Cambrian boundary strata in the Great Basin of southwestern United States record biological, geochemical, and tectonic change during transformative interval Earth history which metazoans diversified. Here, we integrate new compiled chemostratigraphic, paleontological, sedimentological, stratigraphic data sets from Death Valley region, White-Inyo Ranges, Esmeralda County Nevada Cal...

According to the classification of the nickel laterite, this paper describes mineralogy test is to reveal where valuable elements are located in the ore, in which mineralogical form. The purpose of the sieving test was to study if some specific particle size contains most of the valuable metals. Based on its chemical composition nickel laterite is classified as a limonite type and the nickel an...

The end-Permian extinction and its aftermath altered carbonate factories globally for millions of years, but impact on platform geometries remains poorly understood. Here, the evolution in architecture composition two exceptionally exposed platforms Nanpanjiang Basin are constrained compared with geochemical proxies to evaluate controls geometries. Geochemical indicate elevated siliciclastic nu...

Grain-coating chlorite preserves porosity and permeability through the inhibition of quartz cement whereas pore-filling blocks pore-throats diminishes reservoir quality. The aim this study is to determine origin principal mechanisms which govern distribution grain-coating in Jurassic deltaic sandstones (Tilje Formation, Smørbukk field, Mid Norwegian Shelf). focussed on very high-density samplin...
