General paper highlighting the key principles and applications of magnetostratigraphy
Climate variability is driven by a complex interplay of global-scale processes and our understanding of them depends on sufficient temporal resolution of the geologic records and their precise inter-regional correlation, which in most... more
A 13-million-year continuous record of Oligocene climate from the equatorial Pacific reveals a pronounced “heartbeat” in the global carbon cycle and periodicity of glaciations. This heartbeat consists of 405,000-, 127,000-, and... more
At the coast of the río de la Plata in the Buenos Aires city lies a classic paleontological site, known as toscas del Río de La Plata or simple as las toscas. It has been studied for over 120 years and, although it has been widely... more
A well-preserved 11.8-million-years-old lower face attributed to the seminal taxon Dryopithecus fontani (Primates, Hominidae) from the Catalan site ACM/C3-Ae of the Hostalets de Pierola area (Vallès-Penedès Basin, Catalonia, NE Spain) is... more
This paper presents first a discussion on the status of the subdivisions of the European Neogene mammal chronology and second, it synthesizes all available magnetostratigraphic data from Europe to provide chronological framework for... more
The thick red mudstone unit that crops out at Laguna Umayo (Puno department, southern Peru), here referred as LURMU, has yielded in different levels a fossil assemblage with plants and vertebrates (including mammals). On the basis of... more
We present here an integrated magnetic stratigraphy by attempting magnetic polarity, rock magnetism and magnetic fabric analysis along with lithostratigraphy over a Late Paleocene-Eocene marine to continental transition recorded in the... more
This article is concerned with nannofossil study of Tithonian-Berriasian sediments of Eastern Crimea. The NJT 16, NJT 17a, NJT 17b, NKT, and NK 1 nannofossil zones were determined. The occurrence of Nannoconus kamptneri minor, one of the... more
ABSTRACT The study area is located at 56 km nearly NW of PyinOoLwin, Shan State (North). It lies between latitude 22 ံ30 'N and 22 ံ35' N and longitude 96 ံ25 'E and 96 ံ 30 'E in one inch topographic map of 93 B/6. The major... more
New bio-magnetostratigraphic data have been acquired from the Burdigalian part of the Moria section in the Umbria–Marche Apennine (Central Italy). The investigated sedimentary sequence is 55 meters thick and comprises the transition... more
We present an updated time frame for the 30 m thick late Miocene sedimentary Trachilos section from the island of Crete that contains the potentially oldest hominin footprints. The section is characterized by normal magnetic polarity. New... more
