Palaeosalinity variations in the Early Cretaceous of the Neuquén Basin, Argentina: Evidence from oxygen isotopes and palaeoecological analysis

TL;DR: Lazo, Dario Gustavo, and Lazo as discussed by the authors discuss the role of the Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Cientificas and Tecnicas (CICTE) in the creation of the Institute of Estudios Andinos (IESE).
Journal ArticleDOI

Contact Diagenesis: The Effect of an Intrusion on Reservoir Quality in the Triassic Sherwood Sandstone Group, Northern Ireland

TL;DR: In this paper, an intrusion of a dolerite sill into clay-bearing, arkosic Triassic Sherwood Group sandstones with moderate porosity (22%) and high but anisotropic permeability (mode 500 md) led to the progressive transformation of precursor diagenetic minerals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sea-level events during the Early Cretaceous in Western Europe

TL;DR: In this paper, lower Cretaceous sedimentary successions in NW Europe are discussed in the light of relative changes in sea-level, by comparing the boreal marine deposits of the North Sea and Germany, the paralic and shelf deposits of southern England, the Paris Basin and Atlantic margin basins, and the Tethyan carbonate shelf deposits in southern France.
Journal ArticleDOI

Calcareous nannofossils from late Jurassic sediments of the Volga Basin (Russian Platform): evidence for productivity-controlled black shale deposition

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed 78 samples from two sections (Gorodische, Kashpir) of the Volga Basin (NE Russia) to understand the factors that controlled black shale sedimentation, including the recycling of nutrients from oxidized phytoplankton back into the photic zone.
Journal ArticleDOI

Southern Hemisphere Early Cretaceous (Valanginian-Early Barremian) carbon and oxygen isotope curves from the Neuquen Basin, Argentina

TL;DR: The first carbon and oxygen isotope curves for the Valanginian to Early Barremian (Early Cretaceous) interval obtained from outcrops in the Southern Hemisphere are presented in this article.
