This book was released on 2016-10-20 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The geological and palaeontological records of climate change and evolutionary events reflect Earth’s widely fluctuating climate systems. Past climates hold the clues to understanding future developments. In this context, research on linked climate, biodiversity and sea-level fluctuations of the Devonian contributes to the general knowledge of deep-time climate dynamics. A fruitful co-operation between the International Geoscience Programme IGCP 596 and the International Subcommission on Devonian Stratigraphy (SDS) addressed the complex succession of climate-linked Devonian global events of varying magnitude. The primary goal of IGCP 596 was to assess mid-Palaeozoic climate changes and their impact on marine and terrestrial biodiversity using an interdisciplinary approach. The focus of SDS includes a revision of the eustatic sea-level curve and the integration of refined chrono- and biostratigraphy with modern chemo-, magneto-, cyclo-, event- and sequence stratigraphy. This enabled the much improved dating and correlation of abiotic perturbations, evolutionary changes, organism and ecosystem ranges. Results by 37 authors are presented in 14 chapters, which cover the entire Devonian.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding Permian and Mesozoic contractional structures from southern California to northern Nevada requires correlation through south-central Nevada. After the Devonian-Mississippian Antler orogeny through the Permian-Triassic Sonoma orogeny and then up to the Sevier orogeny, south-central Nevada was thought to have remained tectonically inactive. However, Pennsylvanian through Jurassic age deformation is documented to the south in Death Valley and to the north. Identifying geometries, spatial relationships, and relative timing of deformations in the Timpahute Range, south-central Nevada, is an essential piece to completing the overall understanding of Nevada geology. The purpose of this study is to identify and analyze deformational structures of the Timpahute Range and clarify their geometries, relative timing, regional correlation, and tectonic significance. All contraction in the Timpahute Range is constrained by Antler foreland basin units and the intrusion of the 102.9 ± 3.2 Ma Lincoln stock. New mapping at a scale of 1:12,000 documents three contractional episodes in the Timpahute Range, and cross-cutting relations from this study determine at least a relative timeline. The Tempiute Ridge Block contains a W-vergent fold that represents the earliest contractional event in the area. Next was the W-vergent Schofield Pass fault zone. The last contractional deformation formed E-vergent structures of the Central Nevada thrust belt which make up the Lincoln duplex. In collisional orogens, closely related thrust faults may join together in a fault system that includes such structures such as imbricate fans and duplexes. The Lincoln duplex, part of the Central Nevada thrust belt exposed in the Timpahute Range and southern Worthington Mountains, consists of folds and a sequence of thrust faults. New data suggest the Lincoln duplex is a variation of the hinterland dipping duplex, with out-of-sequence thrusts. Cenozoic extensional faults overprint the contractional structures. A series of NW-striking normal faults terminate at a major ENE-striking left-lateral strike-slip fault. This fault continues eastward through multiple ranges in south-central Nevada as part of the Timpahute lineament.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2004 NPS field trip concentrates on breccias in the Great Basin. Breccias are significant reservoirs in many petroleum basins worldwide. The oil production at Eagle Springs, Nevada's first field, and in one of the states newest fields, Ghost Ranch, apparently comes from a landslide breccia. The Great Basin breccias are of three types. The first is impact breccias. Dr. John Warme and his colleagues from the Colorado School of Mines and the United State Geological Survey have compiled a substantial amount of evidence to confirm that an extraterrestrial impact occurred during deposition of the Middle Devonian Guilmette Formation. The effects of this collision can be seen over a wide area in Nye and Lincoln Counties. The breccia, named the Alamo Breccia, should provide an exceptional time line for correlations within that area. Additionally, the single graded bed might be a significant reservoir as well.The second type of potential reservoir is the collapse breccias developed during paleokarsting and paleocave development. Like the Alamo Breccia, the collapse breccias also occur in the Devonian Guilmette Formation. To date, the collapse breccias have been identified in northern Nye County and southern Eureka and White Pine Counties and are probably related to a forebulge developed by the Antler Orogeny. Should the associated paleocaves be open in the subsurface and oil filled, they could have astounding production potential like those of the fields in west Texas.The last type of Great Basin breccia to be considered is landslide breccias. These are not "potential reservoirs" but are actual features that can be found in both Eagle Springs and Ghost Ranch Fields. Like the previous two types, these also involve the Devonian Guilmette Formation as well as the Pennsylvanian Ely Limestone. As such, they are real, proven exploration targets in the Great Basin.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Allow yourself to be taken back into deep geologic time when strange creatures roamed the Earth and Western North America looked completely unlike the modern landscape. Volcanic islands stretched from Mexico to Alaska, most of the Pacific Rim didn’t exist yet, at least not as widespread dry land; terranes drifted from across the Pacific to dock on Western Americas’ shores creating mountains and more volcanic activity. Landscapes were transposed north or south by thousands of kilometers along huge fault systems. Follow these events through paleogeographic maps that look like satellite views of ancient Earth. Accompanying text takes the reader into the science behind these maps and the geologic history that they portray. The maps and text unfold the complex geologic history of the region as never seen before. Winner of the 2021 John D. Haun Landmark Publication Award, AAPG-Rocky Mountain Section

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This long-awaited book about non-pollen palynomorphs (NPPs) aims to cover gaps in our knowledge of these abundant but understudied palynological remains. NPPs, such as fungal spores, testate amoebae, dinoflagellate cysts, acritarchs and animal remains, are routinely recovered from palynological preparations of marine or terrestrial material, from Proterozoic to recent geological times. This book gives the reader a comprehensive overview of the different types of NPPs, with examples from diverse time periods and environments. It provides guidance on sample preparation to maximize the recovery of these NPPs, detailed information on their diversity and ecological affinity, clarification on the nomenclature and demonstrates their value as environmental indicators. This volume will become the reference guide for any student, academic or practitioner interested in everything else in their palynological preparations.
