Miocene evolution of the western edge of the Nevadaplano in the central and northern Sierra Nevada: palaeocanyons, magmatism, and structure
Cathy J. Busby,Keith Putirka +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that neither end-member model is correct for the debate regarding youth vs. antiquity of the Sierra Nevada, and the most unambiguous constraints on the Sierran landscape evolution are derived from field studies of dated strata preserved in the palaeochannels/palaeocanyons that crossed the range in Cenozoic time.

Palynology and petroleum potential of the Kazhdumi Formation (Cretaceous: Albian―Cenomanian) in the South Pars field, northern Persian Gulf
TL;DR: In this paper, an age between late Albian and Cenomanian was established for the Kazhdumi Formation based on dinoflagellate cyst biostratigraphy, and four palynofacies types were recognized using the relative proportions of terrestrial elements, marine palynomorphs and amorphous organic matter (AOM).
