Maastrichtian argillaceous chalks of the Ghareb Formation are widespread throughout Israel, both in exposures and subsurface. These strata contain a rich fauna foraminifera calcareous nannoplankton, allowing detailed biozonation sediments, which were deposited series basins an outer-shelf to upper-slope environment. The distribution benthonic planktonic from reference section southern Israel is described. Three foraminiferal tethyan chronozones, Globotruncana falsostuarti, Gansserina...
Abstract The chemical composition of formation waters tapped in oil wells and emerging as hot springs along the Suez coast Sinai was examined. A scheme is proposed for geochemical evolution these their relation to geological history area. thermal regime investigated area characterized by high gradient foci located immediate proximity major faults. Fe—mineralization, dolomitization concentrations heavy metals were observed on eastern shore Gulf Suez. have equivalent ionic ratios similar those...
From 41,000 to over 22,000 yr B.P., a massive and areally extensive spring travertine was deposited in the Bet Shean Valley, Israel. This is coeval with Ami'az Member of Lisan Formation which represents high lake stand. The deposition contemporaneous more active hydrologic regime associated wetter conditions arid zones southern Levant adjacent These facilitated formation widespread tufa also enhanced water levels Lake Lisan.
Yizre'el-Harod-Bet She'an valley, Lower Galilee and Golan Heights, Israel. Identification of pure groundwater that infiltrated the widespread alkali olivine basalts in replenishment areas study region. The is characterized by equivalent ratios such as Na/Cl > 1; Na/HCO3− < SO42−-fraction 0.1; HCO3−/(Ca + Mg Na) ≥ 0.7; Mg) 1000Br/Cl range 1–2.5; δ34Ssulfate 5‰ (CDT). Bowl-shaped-normalized REY distribution patterns are indicative for recharge over basaltic outcrops. These aquifers recharged...
Abstract Element ratios and water stable isotopes reveal the presence of only two independent deep brines in Kinnarot Basin, Israel: evaporite dissolution brine Zemah‐1 inferred Ha’on mother (HMB) with low high Br/Cl ratios, respectively. HMB is considered to be a representative Late Pliocene evaporated Sedom Sea. The freshwater‐diluted evaporation emerges as on eastern shore Lake Tiberias also identified pore lake sediments. converted into (TMB) by dolomitization limestones alteration...
Abstract Background and Scope Agaves played a central role as multi-use plants providing food, fibre beverage to pre-contact historical Mesoamerican cultures. However, their importance Indigenous Peoples in the Southwest USA northern Mexico, where they occur because of adaptations such CAM photosynthesis, is less well known. Archaeological research indicates Hohokam other Southwestern agrarian people increased agricultural potential this region by engineering riverine terraces bajadas for...
