A series of recent papers has compiled brief biographies and listed the scientific publications and taxa proposed for a number of bee researchers (Rasmussen et al. 2007; Zuparko 2007; Rasmussen & Ascher 2008; Rasmussen et al. 2009; Rasmussen 2012; Rasmussen et al. 2013). Unfortunately five taxa attributed in the original publication to Vachal were overlooked in the recent review of his taxonomi...

Abstract Previous investigation of seismic anisotropy indicates the presence a simple mantle flow regime beneath Turkish-Anatolian Plateau and Arabian Plate. Numerical modeling suggests that this is component large-scale global associated with African superplume, which plays key role in geodynamic framework Arabia-Eurasia continental collision zone. However, extent impact pattern farther east I...

The Cenomanian-Turonian Gharesu section in the east of Kopet-Dagh basin have been investigated to determine the relationship between palaeoenvironmental perturbations and nitrogen cycling across OAE2. This succession is composed of 43 m shale and marl interbedded with glauconitic sandstone and lies between Aitamir-Abderaz formations boundary. The nitrogen Isotope values fluctuate between 0‰ to ...

in many seismological applications, the earth is considered as a perfectly elastic, homogeneous, and isotropic body. although this assumption is approximately valid, it is known that seismic waves pass through the real earth that is anelastic, inhomogeneous and anisotropic.  we consider four processes that can reduce wave amplitude, i.e.: geometrical spreading, scattering, multi-pathing, and an...

The type section of the Middle and Upper Jurassic Chaman Bid Formation is in the western Koppeh Dagh Basin (Northeast Iran). It is unusually thick and contains a rather rich ammonite fauna, ranging from Bathonian to Tithonian. The ammonites described here come from a 134-m-thick interval in the upper part of member (D) in the middle part of the formation, consisting of an alternation of grey li...
