Up-to-date Spanish continental Neogene synthesis and paleoclimatic interpretation
1993
A synthesis of the Spanish continental Neogene is presented by designing an integrated correlative chart of the Neo" gen-e "succes"Siuns-ofthe "lberian-PeninsuIa-. -Ninemain-sedimentary-breaks-have-been -distinguished-in-most-of-the "basins. They are considered a valuable criteria for correlation as they occur in similar time intervals from basin to basin. The determined sedimentary breaks occur in the Agenian, Ramblian, Middle Aragonian, Late Aragonian, Late Vallesian, Middle Turolian, Late Turolian, Late Ruscinian-Early Villafranchian, and Villafranchian ages. The larger interior basins (Ebro, Tajo, Duero) show a fairly complete Neogene sedimentary record in which the aboye mentioned sedi…
Paleoclimatic control of biogeographic and sedimentary events in Tethyan and peri-Tethyan areas during the Oxfordian (Late Jurassic)
2005
International audience; The paleobiogeographical distribution of Oxfordian ammonites and coral reefs in northern and Central Europe, the Mediterranean area, North and East Africa, and the Middle East and Central Asia is compared with the distribution in time and space of the most important lithofacies. Interest in the Oxfordian is focused on changes in facies and in biogeographical patterns that can be interpreted as the results of climatic events. Paleotemperature trends inferred from oxygen isotopes and paleoclimatic simulations are tested against fossil and facies data. A Late Callovian–Early Oxfordian crisis in carbonate production is indicated by the widespread absence of Lower Oxfordi…
Le Quaternaire franc-comtois. Essai chronologique et paléoclimatique.
1982
Le but de ce travail est d'établir le cadre chronologique et paléoclimatique du Quaternaire en Franche-Comté à partir de l'étude des formations édifiées au cours de cette période.Deux grands types de dépôts ont été plus particulièrement étudiés: ·- Les remplissages karstiques d'avens, de porches de grottes et d'abris sous roche, donnant un éclairage intense, mais ponctuel, de l'environnement physique et biologique, grâce aux faunes abondantes et aux indices climatiques d'ordre sédimentologique.- Les dépôts glaciaires et paraglaciaires (moraines, fluvioglaciaires, glacio-lacustres) qui permettent de situer des coupures climatiques au cours du temps dans l'espace géographique étudié.L'étude d…
