Australian Phanerozoic Timescales

ISBN:
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 42
Book Description
Both Wallchart and Explanatory Notes are a compilation of the history and current status of the major subdivisions of the Phanerozoic Eon; they are derived from the detailed charts presented in the larger reference volume, An Australian Phanerozoic Timescale (eds. Young and Laurie, OUP, 1996).The Wallchart displays a linear timescale for the Phanerozoic taken to the level of stages; a non-linear scale for the Precambrian is included to show the fullness of geologic time. The Explanatory Notes describe briefly each time period: its history, definition of its base in terms of isotopic andbiostratigraphic data, and its subdivision into series and stages. AGSO Phanerozoic Timescale 1995 integrates standard European time units and Australian Cambrian and Ordovician stages. This scale is significant for global correlation of Phanerozoic sequences and their biotas. It will be attractiveand useful to resource exploration companies, geological surveys, university and school students, and individual professional and amateur geologists.
Biological Consequences of Plate Tectonics
Author: Guntupalli V.R. PrasadPublisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030497534
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 472
Book Description
This book recognizes and celebrates the contributions of Professor Ashok Sahni to the field of paleontology. Prof. Sahni established a School of Vertebrate Palaeontology at Panjab University, Chandigarh, India, where he trained many of today’s vertebrate paleontologists of India. The book covers topics on evolutionary patterns, macroevolutionary events, origination and radiation events, changes in physical environments & climate and their implications for biodiversity dynamics, intercontinental affinities and biogeographic connections in a plate tectonic framework. The book begins by exploring India in the age of the dinosaurs, discussing new fossil remains from the Jurassic Era, then moves through the Cretaceous and Eocene to provide a picture on faunal and floral changes in Gondwanaland in the context of plate tectonics. Furthermore, the book explores the evolutionary patterns and biotic dispersals that resulted from the northward drift of Indian plate during the Cretaceous and its collision with Asia in the Eocene. The respective chapters reveal the role of plate tectonics and climate in shaping the geographical distribution of plants and animals in Gondwana, specifically in India, as well as the post-India/Asia collision implications for biodiversity changes and biogeography in the region’s continental environments. Given its scope, the book will appeal to vertebrate paleontologists, evolutionary biologists, and paleobiogeographers.
An Australian Phanerozoic Timescale

Category : Medical

Pages : 300
Book Description
This book gives a new global perspective on the Phanerozoic timescale, by bringing together extensive Australian and overseas research on biostratigraphy, geochronology, and magnetostratigraphy. For the first time, correlations are established between Australian and European biozonal schemes for the entire Phanerozoic, by integrating local and international biozones, isotopic ages, and magnetic polarity intervals. Tie points are based on tightly constrained isotopic and biostrastigraphic ages, and this is the first compilation for the whole of the Phanerozoic to apply results from the latest isotopic dating techniques, including the high resolution ion microprobe (SHRIMP) and variants of the (superscript 40)Ar/(superscript 39)Ar method. These have radically rescaled some parts of the geological column. An Australian Phanerozoic Timescale gives the essential framework for resource exploration, geologic modelling, and reconstruction of past environments and land-sea configurations during the last 545 million years of earth history.

Book Description
This volume contains papers presented in part at a symposium held in May 2012 at Göttingen University, to honour Professor Joachim Reitner for his numerous contributions to the fields of geobiology, geology, and palaeontology. Our present volume reflects the breadth of Reitner’s interests and accomplishement with tributes and research or review papers by his students, former students, collaborators, and friends. The symposium was held in conjunction with Joachim Reitner’s 60th birthday.
