The role of sediment supply in controlling alluvial architecture: An example from the Spanish Pyrenees
Journal of the Geological Society ; Abstract: This study isolates the controls on the alluvial architecture of two interfingering late Lutetian fluvial systems preserved at the northern margin of the Tremp-Graus Basin, in the south central Pyrenees. One of these, a northerly, mountain-belt-derived, high-gradient, bedload-dominated
Early Mississippian lycopsid forests in a delta-plain setting at Norton, near Sussex, New Brunswick, Canada
Journal of the Geological Society ; Abstract: Mississippian lycopsid forests in growth position are extremely rare, and their community-scale ecology remains enigmatic. This is a significant gap in our knowledge, not least because they represent the precursors of Pennsylvanian 'Coal Forests'. In this paper, nearly 700 in situ fossil

Biodiversity and terrestrial ecology of a mid-cretaceous, high-latitude floodplain, Alexander Island, Antarctica
Journal of the Geological Society ; Abstract: The biodiversity and terrestrial ecology of the Late Albian Triton Point Formation (Fossil Bluff Group), Alexander Island, Antarctica is analysed to improve our understanding of polar biomes during the mid-Cretaceous thermal optimum. This formation was deposited on a high-latitude (75 deg

Palaeoenvironments and palaeoecology of the Early Pennsylvanian Lancaster Formation ('Fern Ledges') of Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada
Journal of the Geological Society ; Abstract: The Pennsylvanian Lancaster Formation ('Fern Ledges') of Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada contains a world-famous fossil biota. Largely unstudied since the works of Hartt, Dawson, Matthew, and Stopes in the mid-nineteenth to early twentieth century, we present new data concerning
Sedimentation in a humid, interior, extensional basin: the Cenozoic Li Basin, northern Thailand

Palynological evidence indicates that these stages ...
Coal in a carbonate sequence stratigraphic framework: The Upper Permian Heshan Formation in central Guangxi, southern China
Journal of the Geological Society ; Abstract: Microfacies and sedimentological analyses of the Upper Permian coal-bearing Heshan Formation in the Heshan coalfield of central Guangxi suggest that these coal measures formed in a marine carbonate platform setting. Low-volatile bituminous coals with very high organic sulphur overlie

Response of late carboniferous tropical vegetation to transgressive-regressive rhythms at Joggins, Nova Scotia
Journal of the Geological Society ; Abstract: Fossil plant assemblages are described in their sequence stratigraphic context from the Upper Carboniferous (Langsettian) Joggins Formation of Nova Scotia to elucidate ecosystem response to transgressive-regressive rhythms. Results show that rising base level resulted in retrograding
