Atlas of Palaeogeography and Lithofacies Geological Society Memoir, No13 (Geological Society Special Memoir)

This full colour atlas traces the palaeogeographical evolution of the British Isles and surrounding areas from late Precambrian times through to the present day - and interval of approximately 1,000,000,000 years. This publication provides a completely new stratigraphical overview of the geology of the British Isles in the context of modern earth sciences. It represents a major benchmark in UK geology and provides and important reference work for earth scientists throughout the world.

It has been increasingly realized by sedimentologists in the petroleum industry and academia that integration of ichnological information into sedimentological models, and vice versa, is one of the main means by which we can improve our understanding of ancient depositional environments. This volume aims to provide an analytical review of the ichnology of all major depositional environments and the use of ichnology in biostratigraphic and sequence stratigraphic analysis, as well as highly refined palaeoenvironmental studies. The remit of the book is achieved through a combination of review articles and novel research papers that outline methodologies and protocols for improving our understanding of ancient palaeoenvironments. Trace fossils from microscopic borings to dinosaur footprints are considered. The comprehensive coverage of ancient depositional environments means that the book will be of use as a course text for undergraduates as well as an invaluable reference text for all interested in ichnology whether they are ichnologists, sedimentologists or petroleum geologists by trade.

there Has Lately Been A Growth In The Number And Level Of Studies Of Contourite Deposits. Most Recent Studies Of Contourites Have Two Major Lines Of Interest. One, Propelled By The Oil Industry's Continuous Move Into Increasingly Deep Waters, Concerns Their Economic Significance. The Other Involves The Stratigraphic/ Palaeoceanographic Record Of Ocean Circulation Changes Imprinted On Contourite Deposits That Can Be A Key To Understanding Better The Climate-ocean Connection. The Application Of Many Different Theoretical, Experimental And Empirical Resources Provided By Geophysics, Sedimentology, Geochemistry, Petrology, Scale Modeling And Field Geology Are Used In The 16 Papers Of This Volume, Proposing Answers To Those Two Main Aspects. The Papers Are Subdivided Into Two Major Categories (economic Interest And Stratigraphic/palaeoceanographic Significance), With Case Studies Ranging From Well-documented Drifts To New Examples Of Modern And Fossil Series, Involving A Large Diversity Of Geographic And Physiographic Scenarios Worldwide.
