The first insect trace fossil in palaeosols attributed to the oviposition of crickets is represented by openings composed of two to four, but usually three, perforations with a tripartite pattern. This pattern is compatible ...

The Cenomanian Candeleros Formation, located in the Neuquén foreland Basin (32?40° SL), is a unit of Argentinean Patagonia that represent a continental fluvio-eolic system. In the study area, the outcrops are ~100 m-thick ...

The aim of this contribution is to analyse extrinsic (i.e., tectonics, climate and eustasy) and intrinsic (i.e., palaeotopography, palaeodrainage and relative sedimentation rates) factors that controlled palaeosol development ...

The field properties, magnetic susceptibility, particle size, calcium carbonate content, soil micromorphology and optical luminescence ages of the upper 6.1 m and lowermost 4.7 m of the 45 m loess-palaeosol sequence at El ...

Studies of the palaeobiology of titanosaur eggs are significantly more common than studies of titanosaur-egg-bearing strata. Nevertheless, the latter provide significant insight into palaeoenvironmental conditions associated ...

The changes in the geometry, density and distribution of the fluvial reservoir sand-bodies have been modelled both in the laboratory and from outcrop analogues. On the other hand, fine-grained floodplain deposits, often ...

The stratigraphic record of distributive fluvial systems is commonly characterised by frequent and complex interstratification of palaeosols among channel and overbank deposits. However, current models focus primarily on ...

Climatic changes related to orographic barrier uplift are in the geoscience spotlight during last years. Several works focused in the relationships between climate and tectonic processes in order to understand the rain ...
