The studied sections of Santa Maria de Miralles and La Tossa encompass the complete marine succession of the Santa Maria Group, where assemblages rich in larger foraminifers have been studied since the early 1950’s. A total of 224 paleomagnetic sites and 62 biostratigraphic samples were collected along a 1350m-thick section that ranges from chron C20n to chron C16n (∼43Ma to ∼36Ma). The resulting magnetostratigraphy-based chronology challenges existing chronostratigraphic interpretations of these units and results in a new calibration of the biostratigraphic zonations. The base of calcareous nannofossil Zone NP19-20 is pinned down to an older age than its presently accepted attribution, whereas the time span assigned to Zone NP18 is significantly reduced. A revised calibration of larger foraminifers indicates that Zone SBZ18, formerly assigned exclusively to the late Bartonian, extends its range to the earlymost Priabonian, the Bartonian stage being almost entirely represented by Zone SBZ17. A division of Zone SBZ18 into two subzones is proposed. KEYWORDS Middle/Late Eocene. Chronostratigraphy. Magnetostratigraphy. Biostratigraphy. Time Scale. 177 E . C O S TA e t a l .

  • Palaeogene Marine Stratigraphy in China
    LETHAIA REVIEW Palaeogene marine stratigraphy in China XIAOQIAO WAN, TIAN JIANG, YIYI ZHANG, DANGPENG XI AND GUOBIAO LI Wan, X., Jiang, T., Zhang, Y., Xi, D. & Li G. 2014: Palaeogene marine stratigraphy in China. Lethaia, Vol. 47, pp. 297–308. Palaeogene deposits are widespread in China and are potential sequences for locating stage boundaries. Most strata are non-marine origin, but marine sediments are well exposed in Tibet, the Tarim Basin of Xinjiang, and the continental margin of East China Sea. Among them, the Tibetan Tethys can be recognized as a dominant marine area, including the Indian-margin strata of the northern Tethys Himalaya and Asian- margin strata of the Gangdese forearc basin. Continuous sequences are preserved in the Gamba–Tingri Basin of the north margin of the Indian Plate, where the Palaeogene sequence is divided into the Jidula, Zongpu, Zhepure and Zongpubei formations. Here, the marine sequence ranges from Danian to middle Priabonian (66–35 ma), and the stage boundaries are identified mostly by larger foraminiferal assemblages. The Paleocene/Eocene boundary is found between the Zongpu and Zhepure forma- tions. The uppermost marine beds are from the top of the Zongpubei Formation (~35 ma), marking the end of Indian and Asian collision. In addition, the marine beds crop out along both sides of the Yarlong Zangbo Suture, where they show a deeper marine facies, yielding rich radiolarian fossils of Paleocene and Eocene. The Tarim Basin of Xinjiang is another important area of marine deposition. Here, marine Palae- ogene strata are well exposed in the Southwest Tarim Depression and Kuqa Depres- sion.

The section covers almost the entire Lutetian and ranges into the Priabonian. It is part of the Helvetic (tectonic) Unit and represents the sedimentary processes that took place on the southern shelf to upper bathyal of the European platform at that time. Six lithologic units occur in the Adelholzen-Section: 1) marly, glauconitic sands with predominantly Assilina, 2) marly bioclastic sands with predominantly Nummulites, 3) glauconitic sands, 4) marls with Discocyclina, 5) marly brown sand. These units were combined as “Adelholzener Schichten” and can be allocated to the Kressenberg Formation.

Ens indica que la riquesa patrimonial del nostre país ha transcendit l’àmbit dels experts o dels estudio- sos, per incorporar-se, d’una manera fluida i rellevant, al conjunt de recursos amb els quals procurem bastir una cultura i les formes i estils de vida que la caracteritzen. I això d’una manera positiva, imaginativa, i des d’una posició de maduresa cultural que es pot homologar amb la dels països europeus més avançats. Vull remarcar, especialment, el caràcter europeu, global, d’aquesta festa del patrimoni. El Consell d’Europa i la Unió Europea promouen i apadrinen aquestes jornades amb una clara voluntat d’afavorir la integració cultural i de posar en valor la diversitat i, alhora, la força d’aquest llegat comú.

  • New Chondrichthyans from Bartonian-Priabonian Levels of Río De Las Minas and Sierra Dorotea, Magallanes Basin, Chilean Patagonia
    Andean Geology 42 (2): 268-283. May, 2015 Andean Geology doi: 10.5027/andgeoV42n2-a06 www.andeangeology.cl PALEONTOLOGICAL NOTE New chondrichthyans from Bartonian-Priabonian levels of Río de Las Minas and Sierra Dorotea, Magallanes Basin, Chilean Patagonia *Rodrigo A. Otero1, Sergio Soto-Acuña1, 2 1 Red Paleontológica Universidad de Chile, Laboratorio de Ontogenia y Filogenia, Departamento de Biología, Facultad de Ciencias, Universidad de Chile, Las Palmeras 3425, Santiago, Chile. [email protected] 2 Área de Paleontología, Museo Nacional de Historia Natural, Casilla 787, Santiago, Chile. [email protected] * Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT. Here we studied new fossil chondrichthyans from two localities, Río de Las Minas, and Sierra Dorotea, both in the Magallanes Region, southernmost Chile. In Río de Las Minas, the upper section of the Priabonian Loreto Formation have yielded material referable to the taxa Megascyliorhinus sp., Pristiophorus sp., Rhinoptera sp., and Callorhinchus sp. In Sierra Dorotea, middle-to-late Eocene levels of the Río Turbio Formation have provided teeth referable to the taxa Striatolamia macrota (Agassiz), Palaeohypotodus rutoti (Winkler), Squalus aff. weltoni Long, Carcharias sp., Paraorthacodus sp., Rhinoptera sp., and indeterminate Myliobatids. These new records show the presence of common chondrichtyan diversity along most of the Magallanes Basin. The new record of Paraorthacodus sp. and P. rutoti, support the extension of their respective biochrons in the Magallanes Basin and likely in the southeastern Pacific. Keywords: Cartilaginous fishes, Weddellian Province, Southernmost Chile. RESUMEN. Nuevos condrictios de niveles Bartoniano-priabonianos de Río de Las Minas y Sierra Dorotea, Cuenca de Magallanes, Patagonia Chilena. Se estudiaron nuevos condrictios fósiles provenientes de dos localidades, Río de Las Minas y Sierra Dorotea, ambas en la Región de Magallanes, sur de Chile.

  • A Rapid Clay-Mineral Change in the Earliest Priabonian of the North Sea Basin?
    Netherlands Journal of Geosciences / Geologie en Mijnbouw 83 (3): 179-185 (2004) A rapid clay-mineral change in the earliest Priabonian of the North Sea Basin? R. Saeys, A. Verheyen & N. Vandenberghe1 K.U. Leuven, Historical Geology, Redingenstraat 16, B-3000 Leuven, Belgium 1 corresponding author: [email protected] Manuscript received: February 2004; accepted: August 2004 Abstract In the Eocene to Oligocene transitional strata in Belgium, clay mineral associations vary in response to the climatic evolution and to tectonic pulses. Decreasing smectite to illite ratios and the systematic occurrence of illite-smectite irregular interlayers are consequences of a cooling climate. A marked increase in kaolinite content occurs just after a major unconformity formed at the Bartonian/Priabonian boundary and consequently is interpreted as resulting from the breakdown of uplifted saprolites. Keywords: clay minerals, Paleogene, North Sea Basin Introduction Stratigraphy of the Eocene to Oligocene in the southern North Sea The International Geological Correlation Program Project No 124 integrated the Cenozoic stratigraphic The study of the cored Doel 2b well, north of data of the North Sea Basin, which were dispersed at Antwerp in Belgium, has documented the Bartonian, that time in the literature, and the traditions of the Priabonian and Early Rupelian transition layers by different countries around the North Sea (Vinken, lithostratigraphy, nannoplankton and dinoflagellate 1988). Since this study, it has become known that biostratigraphy,

  • Implementació De Models Combinats De Recollida Selectiva En Un Mateix Àmbit
    Redacció: Setembre 2020 IMPLEMENTACIÓ DE MODELS COMBINATS DE RECOLLIDA SELECTIVA EN UN MATEIX ÀMBIT. EXEMPLE D’IMPLEMENTACIÓ Combinació de models porta a porta a municipis grans i urbanitzacions amb àrees d’aportació tancades als municipis rurals i nuclis disseminats a la comarca de l’Anoia (Catalunya) Descripció El Consell Comarcal de l’Anoia és l’ens supramunicipal encarregat de la gestió de residus a la majoria de municipis de la comarca de l’Anoia, situada a la Catalunya central i amb una població de 1 20.738 habitants (Idescat, 201 9). Els diferents municipis de la comarca presenten casuístiques i realitats diferents: uns són de caire més urbà, amb nuclis compactes i urbanitzacions; i d’altres són més rurals, amb masies i habitatges disseminats. Per aquest motiu, i amb la voluntat d’adaptar el servei a les diferents realitats, des del Consell Comarcal es va optar per la implantació de dos models de recollida de residus: . El model de recollida porta a porta als nuclis urbans i urbanitzacions. El model de recollida amb àrees d’aportació tancades amb control d’accés electrònic als municipis rurals i habitatges disseminats. Concretament, des de l’any 201 8, el Consell Comarcal impulsa la recollida porta a porta de residus domiciliaris i residus comercials i d’equipaments en municipis de més de 500 habitants1 i, la recollida dels contenidors en àrees d’aportació tancades amb control d’accés pels municipis de menys de 500 habitants. Tant el model de recollida porta a porta com la recollida amb àrees d’aportació tancades, tenen per objectiu fomentar la corresponsabilització i evitar l’anonimat, garantint una major traçabilitat del servei de recollida i realitzar un seguiment de les incidències i de la participació.
