Structural and Geochemical Interactions Between Magma and Sedimentary Host Rock: The Hovedøya Case, Oslo Rift, Norway Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Two end-member conceptual models are used to describe deformation of the Earth's crust induced by magma intrusion. “Mode I” fracturing assumes tensile or opening-mode, elastic deformation, while “Mode II” fracturing assumes plastic shear-mode deformation around a viscous indenter. Field observations of both mechanisms exist, but it remains unclear which mechanism dominates in which conditions. We describe intrusion geometries, host rock ...
The Giant Marine Gastropod Campanile Giganteum (Lamarck, 1804) as a High-Resolution Archive of Seasonality in the Eocene Greenhouse World Vrije Universiteit Brussel KU Leuven
Giant gastropods are among the largest mollusks in the fossil record, but their potential as paleoseasonality archives has received little attention. Here, we combine stable isotope and trace element analyses with microscopic observations and growth modeling on shells of two species of the gastropod genus Campanile: the extinct Campanile giganteum from Lutetian (~45 Ma) deposits in the Paris Basin (France), the longest gastropod known from ...
Insight into the development of a carbonate platform through a multi-disciplinary approach: a case study from the Upper Devonian slope deposits of Mount Freikofel (Carnic Alps, Austria/Italy). Vrije Universiteit Brussel
scaled depositional sequences recorded within Palaeozoic
carbonate platform has remained poorly examined. There-
fore, the understanding of palaeoenvironmental changes
that occur in geological past is still limited. We herein
undertake a multi-disciplinary approach (sedimentology,
conodont biostratigraphy, magnetic susceptibility (MS),
and geochemistry) of a ...
