Abundance, diversity, and high evolutionary rates make larger foraminifera useful
biostratigraphic tools for datation of sediments deposited in shallow marine platforms …

This paper aims to provide a concise description of the geology of the Southern Apennines
especially useful for readers having scarce familiarity with this complex region. The text is …

A moderately diverse larger foraminiferal fauna from the north‐east Italian 'Arenarie e calcari
di S. Urbano'formation with important stratigraphic, palaeoecological and …

The Oligocene represents a key interval during which coralline algae became dominant on
carbonate ramps and luxuriant coral reefs emerged on a global scale. So far, few studies …

Chattian mixed carbonate-siliciclastic deposits from two palaeogeographic units of Southern
Alps, the Lessini Shelf and Venetian foreland basin of northeast Italy, are studied with …

Here, the larger foraminifera found in Middle Eocene-Early Miocene rocks from Dhofar
(Oman) and Socotra Island (Yemen) are studied in detail. The architectural analysis leads to …

A paleoecological and sedimentological study was carried out on shallow-water carbonates
of the Kras Plateau (SW Slovenia) with the goal of reconstructing paleoenvironmental …

Rotaliids are one of the groups of larger foraminifera that quickly recolonized the shallow-
water environments after the mass extinction at the end of the Cretaceous. Here we present …

The early Palaeogene in the history of the Earth is noted for large-scale plate reorganisation
believed to be associated with a changeover from the Laramide tectonic regime ('Old'crustal …

Virtual outcrop modeling has emerged as a tool for supporting geological field activities such
as geological mapping and stratigraphic investigations. Here we show how this technique …
