Calcretes (synonym: caliches) represent calcium-carbonate accumulations in a variety of
soils (and palaeosols) by pedogenic processes, as well as in surficial sediments in which …

Deformations formed in unconsolidated sediments are known as soft-sediment deformation
structures. Their nature, the time of their genesis, and the state in which the sediments …

El Grupo Neuquén conforma una sucesión de depósitos continentales de origen fluvial,
eólico y lacustre somero, desarrollado en la Cuenca Neuquina entre el Cenomaniano …

Geoheritage studies have become increasingly important in recent years because of their
ability to build an inventory of potential, established and endangered geological heritage. It …

“Root casts” are calcified structures in the shape of roots often found exposed on aeolian
sand-dunes. A central channel of the cast may be void or filled with soft carbonate …

Although it is commonly assumed that the trace-fossil record of eolian dunes and associated
environments is invariably poor, a systematic review of the available information indicates …

The analysis of a database composed of 166 cases of invertebrate and root trace fossils in
paleosols allowed us to recognize four major evolutionary steps in the Phanerozoic …

The Canaries have recently served as a test‐bed island system for evaluating newly
developed parametric biogeographical methods that can incorporate information from …

The Asian summer monsoon (ASM) margin of northwest China is a critical region for
studying Asian monsoon variability during the Holocene. However, the pattern of …

Pedogenic carbonates are a good proxy of soil formation and functioning because the
morphology of minerals is directly related with the processes of dissolution–precipitation …
