A multidisciplinary study of the Lower Cretaceous Cedar Mountain Formation, Mussentuchit Wash, Utah: a determination of the paleoenvironment and paleoecology of the Eolambia caroljonesa dinosaur quarry
James R. Garrison,Donald B. Brinkman,Douglas J. Nichols,Paul W. Layer,Donald Burge,Denise Thayn +5 more
TL;DR: A quarry within the Cedar Mountain Formation in Mussentuchit Wash, Emery County, Utah, produced a fossil assemblage containing the remains of at least eight juvenile iguanodontid dinosaurs (Eolambia caroljonesa) as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
New evidences for an early Birimian evolution in the West African Craton: An example from the Kédougou-Kénieba inlier, southeast Senegal
Mamadou Gueye,Siegfried Siegesmund,Klaus Wemmer,Sabine Pawlig,Malte Drobe,Nicole Nolte,Paul W. Layer +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the zircon data presented here yielded Paleoproterozoic ages for the emplacement/crystallization of the Badon granodiorite (2213 ± 3 to 2198 ± 2 Ma), tonalitic gneiss from Sandikounda (2194 ± 4 Ma), the Tinkoto pluton (2074 ± 9 Ma), as well as for the felsic host rocks of the Mamakono pluton(2067 ± 12Ma).
Journal ArticleDOI
Persistent long-term (c. 24 Ma) exhumation in the Eastern Alaska Range constrained by stacked thermochronology
TL;DR: In this article, a simple graphical procedure that vertically stacks spatially diverse K-feldspar 40 Ar/39 Ar multi-domain dif-fusion (MDD) models from the length of the approximately 100 km-long high-peak region of the Eastern Alaska Range was used to address Miocene-present episodic v. persistent exhumation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Giant Muruntau Gold Deposit: Geologic, Geochronologic, and Fluid Inclusion Constraints on Ore Genesis
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reinterpret the regional geologic setting of the giant Muruntau gold deposit and report new 40 Ar/39 Ar isotope age determinations and a laser Raman microprobe analysis of fluid inclusions.
Journal ArticleDOI
40 Ar/ 39 Ar dating, geochemistry, and isotopic analyses of the quaternary Chichinautzin volcanic field, south of Mexico City: implications for timing, eruption rate, and distribution of volcanism
José Luis Arce,Paul W. Layer,John C. Lassiter,Jeffrey A. Benowitz,José Luis Macías,J. Ramírez-Espinosa +5 more
TL;DR: The Chichinautzin volcanic field (Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt, Central Mexico) yielded 40Ar/39Ar ages ranging from 1.2 to 1.09 in the western portion of the Chichinutzin field as discussed by the authors.
