Fossil-wood carbon-isotope stratigraphy of the non-marine Wealden Group (Lower Cretaceous, southern England)

From: Journal of the Geological Society | Date: January 1, 2004| Author: Hesselbo, Stephen P; Robinson, Stuart A | Copyright information

Abstract:Fossil-wood carbon-isotope data are presented for the Wessex Formation, a non-marine unit within the Lower Cretaceous (Valanginian-Barremian) Wealden Group of the Isle of Wight and Dorset, southern England. The carbon-isotope values have a range ([delta]^sup 13^C c. -26.6 to -19.8[per thousand]) that is consistent with that expected for Mesozoic C^sub 3^ plants. Consideration of the Isle of Wight fossil-wood carbon-isotope data together with data from Dorset allows construction of a ...

Dinosaurs of Great Britain and the role of the Geological Society of London in their discovery: Ornithischia
Journal of the Geological Society ; Abstract: Completing our survey of British non-avian dinosaurs, we here review the ornithischians of Britain. Heterodontosaurids are present in the Lower Cretaceous Lulworth Formation of Dorset, and a few earlier possible records imply a long presence in the region of this clade. Britain's

Atmospheric pCO2 and depositional environment from stable-isotope geochemistry of calcrete nodules (barremian, lower cretaceous, Wealden Beds, England)
Journal of the Geological Society ; Abstract: Nodular soil carbonates (calcretes) are present in overbank facies of Lower Cretaceous, non-marine Wealden Beds (Wessex Formation) of southern England. Field evidence suggests that these calcretes formed mostly under semi-arid Mediterranean-type climatic conditions. Typical calcrete
