Carbonate Systems During the Olicocene-Miocene Climatic Transition
Author: Maria Mutti
Publisher: John Wiley and Sons
ISBN: 1444349155
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 315
Book Description
The Oligocene and Miocene Epochs comprise the most important phases in the Cenozoic global cooling that led from a greenhouse to an icehouse Earth. Recent major advances in the understanding and time-resolution of climate events taking place at this time, as well as the proliferation of studies on Oligocene and Miocene shallow-water/neritic carbonate systems, invite us to re-evaluate the significance of these carbonate systems in the context of changes in climate and Earth surface processes. Carbonate systems, because of a wide dependence on the ecological requirements of organisms producing the sediment, are sensitive recorders of changes in environmental conditions on the Earth surface. The papers included in this Special Publication address the dynamic evolution of carbonate systems deposited during the Oligocene and Miocene in the context on climatic and Earth surfaces processes focusing on climatic trends and controls over deposition; temporal changes in carbonate producers and palaeoecology; carbonate terminology; facies; processes and environmental parameters (including water temperature and production depth profiles); carbonate producers and their spatial and temporal variability; and tectonic controls over architecture. This book is part of the International Association of Sedimentologists (IAS) Special Publications. The Special Publications from the IAS are a set of thematic volumes edited by specialists on subjects of central interest to sedimentologists. Papers are reviewed and printed to the same high standards as those published in the journal Sedimentology and several of these volumes have become standard works of reference.

Middle Miocene Foraminifera and Stratigraphic Relations in the Adelaida Quadrangle, San Luis Obispo County, California
Author: Patsy Beckstead Smith
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : California
Languages : en
Pages : 24
Book Description
The Salinas Valley region contains the type areas of the Monterey Shale and the Santa Margarita and Pancho Rico Formations as well as the type areas of the Relizian and Luisian Stages of Kleinpell. Only in and very near the Adelaida 7-1/2-minute quadrangle do strata representing these three marine units crop out in close proximity. In addition, beds that contain fossil marine mollusks of Paleocene age crop out in the quadrangle. Of particular significance in Coast Range stratigraphy are the wide range in Tertiary age fossils found in the Adelaida quadrangle and the geographic position of the quadrangle between the type areas of the Relizian and Luisian Stages of Kleinpell.

The Miocene Purple Mountain Flora of Western Nevada
Author: Daniel I. Axelrod
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 9780520097971
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 120
Book Description
In this study, nine florules from the Chloropagus Formation near Fernley, Nevada, are dated at 14.7-13.4 million years. The author finds that dominant mixed conifer forest and sclerophyll woodland species of the Sierra Nevada-Klamath region replaced exotic deciduous hardwoods in the two lowest sites. He concludes that this change reflects the loss of adequate summer rain as upwelling from a colder ocean resulted from spreading East Antarctic ice.
