..., Dicolpopollis and Longapertites were dispersed from freshwater plants, whereas the parent taxon of Proxapertites operculatus was probably a member of the coastal vegetation in the manner of Spinizonocolpites. This, with sedimentological data, suggests a palaeoenvironmental change from...

... minerals can help set the chronological time frame of speleogenetic phases (Sasowsky & Mylroie, 2004 ; White, 2007 ) and to reveal their palaeoenvironmental meaning, i.e. cycles of speleothem growth, erosion, and deposition of terrigenous sediments (Gazquez et al., 2014 ). According to Hill...

... America), whereas, for the Neogene, it was 45%, the Palaeogene about 30% and the Late Cretaceous about 12%. Here, we concentrate on the more important fossil pollen taxa and describe their general affinities, age range and palaeoenvironmental significance as an illustration of the range of fossil monocot...

In particular, the role and ecology of the relatively high-diversity monocot fossils in the sclerophyllous swamp forest at Newvale Mine in Southland and the lake-edge rainforest at Foulden Maar are explored.

The integration of morphological and palaeoenvironmental data allowed testing of hypotheses about the palaeobiological attributes of this ancestral ctenomyine...

The results obtained agree with the ‘Alaskan’ type of susceptibility variations for the Kurtak section, showing maximum susceptibility values in loess horizons and minima in palaeosols. For the Bachat section the palaeoenvironmental record, expressed through susceptibility, is not clear...

The gradual change in magnetic properties of the sediments between 90 and ≈60 cm depth, with decreasing quantities of greigite, indicates stepwise establishment of oxic conditions in the Holocene.

Comprehensive sets of well-dated and spatially related archaeological, geoarchaeological, and palaeoenvironmental data are essential...
