Cambrian trace fossils from North Africa and their contribution to Gondwana's paleobiogeography and depositional history
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Journal of African Earth Sciences"
DOI: 10.1016/j.jafrearsci.2019.103556
Abstract: Abstract Cambrian successions in northern Africa are widely distributed in the subsurface, but of limited exposure. Over large areas they are dominated by nonmarine deposits free of any body fossil content, which hampers stratigraphic and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jafrearsci.2020.104015
Abstract: Abstract The south-central Moroccan Jebilet Massif comprises several occurrences of late Paleozoic continental red-beds. These deposits have been interpreted to be of Pennsylvanian-Permian age based on lithofacies. Any other reliable age constraint for these rocks… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jsames.2017.08.016
Abstract: Abstract This is the first report of trace fossils potentially associated with insect social behavior in sandy and well-drained paleosols of the Upper Cretaceous continental sequence of Brazil. The trace fossils consist of dozens of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jsames.2021.103200
Abstract: Abstract The Malvinokaffric Realm is an endemic paleogeographic region that inhabited Gondwanan high latitude seas during Early-Middle Devonian times. The causes for the collapse of this fauna are still debated but seem to be related… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jsames.2021.103326
Abstract: Abstract The Upper Cretaceous M2 and U Sandstone members of the Napo Formation are prolific hydrocarbon producers in the Oriente Basin of eastern Ecuador. To understand the depositional origin of these reservoirs, an integrated sedimentologic,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.palaeo.2018.08.004
Abstract: Abstract Trace fossils, being almost always in situ, yield information about the organism's behaviour, in response to its ambient environment, largely controlled by the hydrodynamic conditions, salinity and bathymetry. The Neogene Siwalik succession, exposed in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s0016756825000032
Abstract: Trace fossils are described for the first time from the Purpurberg Quartzite of the Weesenstein Group, where deposition is so far considered to be glacio-eustatic controlled during the ∼565 Ma-old Weesenstein–Orellana glaciation. The mineralogically mature… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-63665-w
Abstract: Understanding shale petrophysical parameters is of interest due to its direct implications as cap rocks for CO2 or hydrogen storage, waste depositions, and as unconventional reservoirs. The generation and propagation of natural and induced fracture… read more here.
