Refined age estimates and Paleoanthropological investigation of the Manyara Beds, Tanzania.

TL;DR: The presence of potential cut-marks on the surface of a bovid mandible may represent the first evidence for human modification of bones from the Manyara Beds, and it is suggested that two mammalian taxa, Metridiochoerus compactus and Eurygnathohippus, may have some of their youngest known occurences in the ManyARA Beds.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quarternary multi-stage alkaline volcanism at Vesteris Seamount (Norwegian—Greenland Sea): evidence from laser step heating 40Ar/39Ar experiments

TL;DR: Vesteris Seamount is a high-latitude intraplate volcano located in the Norwegian-Greenland Sea (ca 73°30′N/9°W) as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Crustal shortening, exhumation, and strain localization in a collisional orogen: The Bajo Pequeño Shear Zone, Sierra de Pie de Palo, Argentina

TL;DR: The Bajo Pequeno Shear Zone (BPSZ) as discussed by the authors is a lower-crustal shear zone that records shortening and exhumation associated with the establishment of a new plate boundary, and its placement in a regional structural context suggests that local- to regional-scale strain localization occurred with progressive deformation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Age constraints on alleged “footprints” preserved in the Xalnene Tuff near Puebla, Mexico

TL;DR: Paleomagnetic analyses of the Xalnene Tuff, and lavas from the volcano from which it erupted, yield fully reversed magnetic polarities, indicating that the tuff was deposited prior to the last geomagnetic reversal (the BrunhesMatuyama ca. 790 ka) as discussed by the authors.
