The catalogue of Mesozoic radiolarian genera is a revision all described with re-illustration their type species. This project was organized under the auspices International Association Radiolarian Paleontologists (Inter-Rad), and carried out by Working Group. second two contributions, this one devoted to Jurassic-Cretaceous period. It contains 581 part shares 30 in common Triassic catalogue, most which arose Carnian, Norian Rhaetian. sharp difference manifested between fauna so evident that...
The processes of arc initiation at the margin an oceanic plateau are remarkably well preserved along southern coastline eastern Costa Rica and western Panama. We present new results a combined tectonostratigraphic petrologic study with which protoarc (75–73 Ma) (89–85 is documented. Dykes igneous rocks within occurrences widely distributed. These types field observations, geochemical data, paleontologic ages for Late Cretaceous to Eocene fore‐arc Golfito Complex Azuero Marginal (southern...

Abstract Radiolarites, commonly comprising chert‐shale couplets, feature prominently in the Mesozoic stratigraphy of Neotethyan realm. The origin and significance these deposits, especially with regard to understanding palaeoproductivity that region, remains controversial. This study examines transport processes accumulation rates radiolarians/radiolarites, as well chronology radiolarite sedimentation based on revised data from Southern Alps new Balagne Nappes, Alpine Corsica. Results...
A full global geodynamical model over 600 million years (Ma) has been developed at the University of Lausanne during past 20 years. We show herein how 2D maps were converted into 3D (i.e., hypsometry and bathymetry), using a heuristic-based approach. Although synthetic topography may be viewed as relatively crude, it advantage being applicable anywhere on globe any geological time. The allows estimating sea-level changes throughout Phanerozoic, with possibility, for first time, to flood...
We propose a new terrane subdivision of Nicaragua and Northern Costa Rica, based on Upper Triassic to Cretaceous radiolarian biochronology ribbon radiolarites, the newly studied Siuna Serpentinite Melange, published 40Ar/39Ar dating geochemistry mafic ultramafic igneous rock units area. The Mesquito Composite Oceanic Terrane (MCOT) comprises southern half Chortis Block, that was assumed be continental fragment N-America. The MCOT is defined by 4 corner localities characterized oceanic rocks...

The invasion of Opuntioideae (cacti) was assessed at national, European, and global levels >14 years ago requires an urgent update. At present, only three species this subfamily are retained in the official list Swiss Federal Bureau Environment, two them being potentially invasive. About 550 new observations Opuntia Mill. Cylindropuntia (Engelm.) F. M. Knuth Cantons Valais, Vaud, Ticino have been entered Info Flora database. Our include revision previously registered stations, using a...
Abstract Multidisciplinary study of the Osa and Burica peninsulas, Costa Rica, recognizes Igneous Complex Mélange – records a complex Late Cretaceous–Miocene tectonic–sedimentary history. The Complex, an accretionary prism ( sensu stricto ) comprises mainly basaltic lava flows, with minor sills, gabbroic intrusives, pelagic limestones radiolarites. Sediments or igneous rocks derived from upper plate are absent. Four units delimited on base stratigraphy geochemistry lie in contact along...
