High resolution imaging of the continental slope west of the Porcupine Bank by the Irish National Seabed Survey reveals an area that is smooth and relatively undisturbed. The area lacks evidence of debris flows and canyon ...

Fish microvertebrates (often referred to as ichthyoliths) are a common, but largely unrecorded, component of the faunas of the Irish Lower Carboniferous. Material from four study areas within the Dinantian (Carboniferous) ...

Amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) and vaterite are not very common in abiotic systems, but they play a very significant role in biomineralization processes and are key in the global carbon cycle. Despite their importance, ...

A new application of an old technique to study the Earth’s interior is allowing us to see stratification in the ocean, providing a new insight into oceanic structure and mixing processes. The new adaptation of seismic ...

The Akcal epithermal Au-Ag deposit is located on the Biga Peninsula, southwestern Turkey and is estimated to contain 32.5 million tonnes of mineralization at an average grade of 1.03 g/t Au, equivalent to 33.5 tonnes of ...

This study concerns ammonoid faunas from a classic turbidite succession, the Ross Sandstone Formation [Serpukhovian-Bashkirian) of the Shannon Basin, western Ireland. In addition to coastal exposures, a set of 12 behind-outcrop ...

Calderas are 1 - 100 km diameter, volcanic depressions that form primarily through m-scale to km–scale subsidence of a magma reservoir roof into an underlying magma reservoir. This study addresses several fundamental ...
