Geochemical evidence for suppression of pelagic marine productivity at the Cretaceous/Tertiary boundary Geochemical evidence for suppression of pelagic marine productivity at the Cretaceous/Tertiary boundary
The normal, biologically productive ocean is characterized by a gradient of the 13C/12C ratio from surface to deep waters. Here we present stable isotope data from planktonic and benthic micro-fossils across the Cretaceous/Tertiary boundary in the North pacific, which reveal a rapid and complete breakdown in this biologically mediated gradient. The fluxes of barium (a proxy for organic...

Source of anomalous magnetization in an area of hydrocarbon potential: Petrologic evidence from the Jurassic Preuss Sandstone, Wyoming-Idaho thrust belt Source of anomalous magnetization in an area of hydrocarbon potential: Petrologic evidence from the Jurassic Preuss Sandstone, Wyoming-Idaho thrust belt
The Jurassic Preuss Sandstone, which crops out in the central part of the Wyoming-Idaho thrust belt on trend with a hydrocarbon-producing region to the south, has been previously identified as the source of anomalous magnetization in the area. Elsewhere, anomalous magnetization in sedimentary rocks near hydrocarbon accumulations has been attributed to hydrocarbon-engendered magnetic...

Geochemical expression of early diagenesis in middle Eocene-lower Oligocene pelagic sediments in the southern Labrador Sea, Site 647, ODP Leg 105 Geochemical expression of early diagenesis in middle Eocene-lower Oligocene pelagic sediments in the southern Labrador Sea, Site 647, ODP Leg 105
Geochemical analyses of the middle Eocene through lower Oligocene lithologic Unit IIIC (260-518 meters below sea floor [mbsf]) indicate a relatively constant geochemical composition of the detrital fraction throughout this depositional interval at Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Site 647 in the southern Labrador Sea. The main variability occurs in redox-sensitive elements (e.g., iron...

Geochemical and paleoenvironmental variations across the Cretaceous/Tertiary boundary at Braggs, Alabama Geochemical and paleoenvironmental variations across the Cretaceous/Tertiary boundary at Braggs, Alabama
The Cretaceous/Tertiary (K/T) boundary in southern Alabama occurs in a sequence of interbedded shallow-marine limestones and marls deposited during a Late Maastrichtian regression and subsequent Danian transgression. The presence of a diverse assemblage of Cretaceous and Paleocene benthic micro- and macrofossils has allowed detailed examination of paleoenvironmental changes in this...

Changes in redox conditions in deep‐sea sediments of the subarctic North Pacific Ocean: Possible evidence for the presence of North Pacific Deep Water Changes in redox conditions in deep‐sea sediments of the subarctic North Pacific Ocean: Possible evidence for the presence of North Pacific Deep Water
Cores of upper Quaternary and Holocene sediment from the subarctic North Pacific north of about 48°N contain one or more layers of oxidized brown sediment interbedded within predominantly reduced green sediment. The brown layers are enriched in several trace elements, especially Mn, Mo, Ni, and Co, relative to the green layers. Where multiple oxidized layers are present, the intensity of...

Zircon geochronology of Precambrian rocks in southeastern Wyoming and northern Colorado Zircon geochronology of Precambrian rocks in southeastern Wyoming and northern Colorado
Archean gneisses and Early Proterozoic metasedimentary rocks of the Wyoming Province are separated from Proterozoic eugeoclinal metamorphic rocks by a major east-west–trending shear zone called the Cheyenne belt. U-Pb zircon ages of Archean tonalites north of the Cheyenne belt denote an intrusive event at 2,700 Ma. Detrital zircons from Proterozoic metasedimentary rocks north of the...

Morphology of Red Creek, Wyoming, an arid-region anastomosing channel system Morphology of Red Creek, Wyoming, an arid-region anastomosing channel system
The narrow, deep, and sinuous main channel is flanked by anastomosing flood channels, or anabranches. Most anabranches are initiated at meander bends. The primary mechanism of anabranch initiation is avulsion during overbank floods. -from Author

Borax in the supraglacial moraine of the Lewis Cliff, Buckley Island quadrangle--first Antarctic occurrence Borax in the supraglacial moraine of the Lewis Cliff, Buckley Island quadrangle--first Antarctic occurrence
During the 1987-1988 austral summer field season, membersof the south party of the antarctic search for meteorites south-ern team* working in the Lewis Cliff/Colbert Hills region dis-covered several areas of unusual mineralization within theLewis Cliff ice tongue and its associated moraine field (figure1). The Lewis Cliff ice tongue (84°15'S 161°25'E) is a meteorite-stranding surface of...
