Water plays a critical role in erosion and sediment transport and this relationship is most
evident in the hyperarid Atacama Desert of Northern Chile, a region characterized by …

The rare earth elements and yttrium (REY) can enter carbonate lattices by replacing cations,
which can be used to reconstruct the history of carbonate precipitation. The Ediacaran …

This chapter summarizes information about ancient hydrocarbon seeps from around the
world. The information is organized into two tables, one comprising both Americas and …

Conflicting views are expressed in literature concerning fold interference patterns in thick-
skinned tectonic context (eg Central Anti-Atlas and Rocky Mountains-Colorado areas). Such …

For the first time, Nd isotope signatures combined with rare earth element (REE)
concentrations were used in investigations of ancient seep carbonates. The study was …

Despite much effort aimed to better constrain the fossil record of chemosynthesis-based
communities, our understanding of their early evolution remains fragmentary. Until recently …

The study examines bioclastic carbonate contourites that arise from the broad spectrum of
bottom‐current related sedimentary processes ranging from deposition to erosion. The result …

Trace and rare earth elements (REEs) have proven their utility as tools for assessing the
genesis and early diagenesis of widespread geological bodies such as carbonate mounds …

The Jurassic Lower Carbonate Group in the Aïn Ouarka area of Western Saharan Atlas,
Algeria, is represented by six formations, from base to top: Hettangian Chemarikh …

Petrological and geochemical analyses were carried out on Early Devonian Kess Kess
mound limestones of the Seheb el Rhassel Group exposed in the Hamar Laghdad Ridge …
