Pliocene paleoclimatic reconstruction using dinoflagellate cysts: Comparison of methods Pliocene paleoclimatic reconstruction using dinoflagellate cysts: Comparison of methods

The application of quantitative and semiquantitative methods to assemblage data from dinoflagellate cysts shows potential for interpreting past environments, both in terms of paleotemperature estimates and in recognizing water masses and circulation patterns.Estimates of winter sea-surface temperature (WSST) were produced by using the Impagidinium Index (II) method, and by applying a...

Geology, geophysics, and geochronology of the Manson impact structure Geology, geophysics, and geochronology of the Manson impact structure

A problem with the impact hypothesis for the Cretaceous/Tertiary (K/T) mass extinction is the apparent absence of an identifiable impact site. The Manson impact structure is a candidate site because of its size (the largest such structure recognized in the United States); in addition, the largest and most abundant shocked quartz grains at the K/T boundary are found relatively close by...

Eocene-Oligocene sea-level changes on the New Jersey coastal plain linked to the deep-sea record Eocene-Oligocene sea-level changes on the New Jersey coastal plain linked to the deep-sea record

We use magnetostratigraphy and Sr-isotope stratigraphy to improve stratigraphic control for the Eocene to Oligocene of the New Jersey coastal plain (ACGS4 borehole). Magnetostratigraphy in many cases is complicated in outcrop sections of shallow-water (

Peridinialean dinoflagellate plate patterns, labels and homologies Peridinialean dinoflagellate plate patterns, labels and homologies

Tabulation patterns for peridinialean dinoflagellate thecae and cysts have been traditionally expressed using a plate labelling system described by C.A. Kofoid in the early 1900's. This system can obscure dinoflagellate plate homologies and has not always been strictly applied. The plate-labelling system presented here introduces new series labels but incorporates key features and ideas...
