'Newly-acquired regional geochemical data for the Down-Armagh (Northern Ireland) sector of the Southern Uplands-Down-Longford terrane are assessed by comparison with the equivalent dataset for southern Scotland. Despite the much thicker [...]

According to the authors of recent research published in the Scottish Journal of Geology, 'We investigated fracture intensity of the Cambrian Eriboll Formation sandstone exposures west of the Palaeozoic Moine [...]

'Detailed structural and petrographic studies confirmed the presence of two major units of ca. 515-480 Ma gneisses in the Orlica-Snieznik Dome (NE Bohemian Massif) and enabled the distinction of two [...]

'Geochemical and new isotopic (U-Pb, Sm-Nd) data on the Mesoproterozoic metaigneous complexes of the Rayner Province in central East Antarctica (Enderby Land-Kemp Land and the northern Prince Charles Mountains) are [...]

According to the authors of recent research from Moscow, Russia, 'The Mesozoic and Cenozoic seamounts and submarine ridges in the east of the South Atlantic are considered and compared with [...]

'This paper reports ploughmarks on the Argentine continental margin up to 44 degrees 50'S, the most northerly morphological evidence of giant icebergs in the southern Atlantic. More than 2500 ploughmarks [...]

'On the Isle of Bute, the Carboniferous Period is represented mainly by volcanic rocks of the Clyde Plateau Volcanic Formation (Visean, mid-to late Holkerian). Although previously considered to lie on [...]

'Numerous studies have reported the presence of the small, thin-shelled cosmopolitan rhynchonelliformean Sericoidea as being environmentally controlled and, together with its close relatives, characteristic of deep-water, distal, clastic Ordovician and [...]

'Deformations of the geologic medium are traditionally regarded as a result of the application of external forces,' researchers in Moscow, Russia report (see also Geoanalytical Research). 'At the same time, [...]

'The Ediacaran deposits (between 635 and 542 Ma) of the Central Zone of the Iberian Massif consist of alternating siliciclastic and carbonate beds. These carbonates are dolostones and magnesites which [...]

'The Lavrion area forms the westernmost part of the Attic-Cycladic crystalline belt (ACCB) and is built up by two tectonic units metamorphosed at HP/LT conditions. In the Upper Tectonic Unit [...]

'Knowledge of melt transfer within the mantle is primarily from the study of mid-ocean ridge settings, leaving elusive the process of sub-arc melt transfer,' scientists in Zurich, Switzerland report (see [...]

'Although the notion of recurrent trace-fossil assemblages through geologic time as a result of similar sets of environmental conditions has a long history in ichnology, the idea that recurrent ichnofaunas [...]
