Introduction This document provides the actualized, a common WP 4 vocabulary which consists of detailed lists of the properties, terms and definitions needed to describe the geological /geomorphological units within the three WP 4 datasets “pre-Quaternary geology”, “Quaternary geology” and marine “geomorphology”. The WP 4 Vocabulary complements the separate WP 4 Guidelines and Technical Guidance document which gives an overview about the WP 4 work and describes the process to transform semantically the WP 4 data of each participant according to this vocabulary. 2.

PAUL 3109 North Calvert Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21218 ABSTRACTT- he presence of Late Cretaceous social dinosaurs in polar regions confronted them with winter conditions of extended dark, coolness, breezes, and precipitation that could best be coped with via an endothermic homeothermic physiology of at least the tenrec level. This is true whether the dinosaurs stayed year round in the polar regime-which in North America extended from Alaska south to Montana-or if they migrated away from polar winters. More reptilian physiologies fail to meet the demands of such winters -in certain key ways, a· point tentatively confirmed by the apparent failure of giant Late Cretaceous phobosuchid crocodilians to dwell north of Montana. Low metabolisms were also insufficient for extended annual migrations away from and towards the poles. It is shown that even high metabolic rate dinosaurs probably remained in their polar habitats year-round. The possibility that dinosaurs had avian-mammalian metabolic systems, and may have borne insulation at least seasonally, severely limits their use as polar paleoclimatic and Earth axial tilt indicators. Polar dinosaurs may have been a center of dinosaur evolution. The possible ability of polar dinosaurs to cope with conditions of cool and dark challenges theories that a gradual temperature decline, or a sudden, meteoritic or volcanic induced collapse in temperature and sunlight, destroyed the dinosaurs. INTRODUCTION America suggests that dinosaurs were regularly crossing, and NCREASINGNUMBERSof remains show that dinosaurs lived living upon, the Bering Land Bridge within a few degrees of the I near the North and South Poles during the Cretaceous.

  • A Possible Late Pleistocene Impact Crater in Central North America and Its Relation to the Younger Dryas Stadial
    A POSSIBLE LATE PLEISTOCENE IMPACT CRATER IN CENTRAL NORTH AMERICA AND ITS RELATION TO THE YOUNGER DRYAS STADIAL SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY David Tovar Rodriguez IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE Howard Mooers, Advisor August 2020 2020 David Tovar All Rights Reserved ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my advisor Dr. Howard Mooers for his permanent support, my family, and my friends. i Abstract The causes that started the Younger Dryas (YD) event remain hotly debated. Studies indicate that the drainage of Lake Agassiz into the North Atlantic Ocean and south through the Mississippi River caused a considerable change in oceanic thermal currents, thus producing a decrease in global temperature. Other studies indicate that perhaps the impact of an extraterrestrial body (asteroid fragment) could have impacted the Earth 12.9 ky BP ago, triggering a series of events that caused global temperature drop. The presence of high concentrations of iridium, charcoal, fullerenes, and molten glass, considered by-products of extraterrestrial impacts, have been reported in sediments of the same age; however, there is no impact structure identified so far. In this work, the Roseau structure's geomorphological features are analyzed in detail to determine if impacted layers with plastic deformation located between hard rocks and a thin layer of water might explain the particular shape of the studied structure. Geophysical data of the study area do not show gravimetric anomalies related to a possible impact structure. One hypothesis developed on this works is related to the structure's shape might be explained by atmospheric explosions dynamics due to the disintegration of material when it comes into contact with the atmosphere.

  • 2. the Miocene/Pliocene Boundary in the Eastern Mediterranean: Results from Sites 967 and 9691
    Robertson, A.H.F., Emeis, K.-C., Richter, C., and Camerlenghi, A. (Eds.), 1998 Proceedings of the Ocean Drilling Program, Scientific Results, Vol. 160 2. THE MIOCENE/PLIOCENE BOUNDARY IN THE EASTERN MEDITERRANEAN: RESULTS FROM SITES 967 AND 9691 Silvia Spezzaferri,2 Maria B. Cita,3 and Judith A. McKenzie2 ABSTRACT Continuous sequences developed across the Miocene/Pliocene boundary were cored during Ocean Drilling Project (ODP) Leg 160 at Hole 967A, located on the base of the northern slope of the Eratosthenes Seamount, and at Hole 969B, some 700 km to the west of the previous location, on the inner plateau of the Mediterranean Ridge south of Crete. Multidisciplinary investiga- tions, including quantitative and/or qualitative study of planktonic and benthic foraminifers and ostracodes and oxygen and car- bon isotope analyses of these microfossils, provide new information on the paleoceanographic conditions during the latest Miocene (Messinian) and the re-establishment of deep marine conditions after the Messinian Salinity Crisis with the re-coloni- zation of the Eastern Mediterranean Sea in the earliest Pliocene (Zanclean). At Hole 967A, Zanclean pelagic oozes and/or hemipelagic marls overlie an upper Messinian brecciated carbonate sequence. At this site, the identification of the Miocene/Pliocene boundary between 119.1 and 119.4 mbsf, coincides with the lower boundary of the lithostratigraphic Unit II, where there is a shift from a high content of inorganic and non-marine calcite to a high content of biogenic calcite typical of a marine pelagic ooze. The presence of Cyprideis pannonica associated upward with Paratethyan ostracodes reveals that the upper Messinian sequence is complete.

Pliocene-Quaternary mass wasting along the Ionian Calabrian margin, offshore southern Italy Oliviero Candoni (1,2), Silvia Ceramicola (2), Daniel Praeg (3,4), Massimo Zecchin (2), Giuseppe Brancatelli (2), Christian Gorini (5), Gerhard Bohrmann (6), and Andrea Cova (2) (1) Università degli Studi di Trieste, Italy, (2) Istituto Nazionale di Oceanografia e di Geofisica Sperimentale (OGS), Italy, (3) Instituto do Petróleo e dos Recursos Naturais (IPR), Brazil, (4) Géoazur, France, (5) Université Pierre et Marie Curie (UPMC), France, (6) Marum - University of Bremen, Germany The Ionian Calabrian margin, offshore southern Italy, is a tectonically active area, located above a subduction zone dominated by rollback of the African plate. A variety of mass wasting features are known to occur along the inner continental slope, based on seafloor mapping during the Italian project MaGIC (Marine Geohazards Along the Italian Coasts). New high-resolution geophysical data are available from a wider area following two surveys, in 2014 of the German RV Meteor, which acquired multibeam bathymetry (50 m DTM) and Parasound sub-bottom profiles, and in 2015 of the Italian RV OGS Explora, which acquired Chirp sub-bottom and multichannel seismic reflection profiles. Here we integrate these data with existing geophysical datasets and published exploration wells to map submarine slope failures and mass wasting deposits within the Pliocene-Quaternary succession. The results show that features of mass failures are widespread along the steep (higher than 10˚) slopes of the Ionian margin south of Calabria, and within the intra-slope basins of the margin east of Calabria.
