Earthen layers play a significant role in isolating contaminants in subsurface, controlling the migration of contaminant plumes, and as landfill liners and covers. Physical, chemical and mineralogical properties of three ...

The carbonate-mudstone-dominated Lower Cretaceous Agrio Formation is the youngest marine source rock of the hydrocarbon-prolific Neuquen Basin in Argentina, yet its facies variability and unconventional ´ hydrocarbon ...

The chemical weathering plays an important role in the processes of surface geochemistry, which is fundamental to understand the landscape evolution. The Paraná Basin is an intracratonic sedimentary basin developed on the ...

Coals and coaly mudstones are found in the late Paleozoic Paganzo Basin, forming a key stratigraphic level deposited during the Bashkirian – Moscovian interval of relative tectonic quiescence. Coal beds vary from bituminous ...

In this contribution we outline the outstanding attributes and inferred depositional controls for dark mudstones of the Alicia Formation (~570 Ma) in order to reveal the intrinsic characteristics of unknown Ediacaran marine ...

Graphoglyptids are diagnostic ichnofossils of the Paleodictyon ichnosubfacies (Nereitesichnofacies), which is well represented in deep-marine Mesozoic–Cenozoic thin-bedded turbidites. However, unusual shallow-water records ...

Fjord systems, represented by glacial diamictites and postglacial transgressive shales, formed in the basins of western Argentina during the late Carboniferous Gondwana glaciation. Well exposed fjord deposits of the Guandacol ...

A detailed study of the structural fabrics and overprinting relationships exposed at sierra Beauvoir and sierra de Apen, which include folds, foliations and thrust faults, allowed us to settle a deformation sequence of the ...
