The Pre-Salt source rocks within the syn-rift section comprise freshwater lacustrine shales through to transitional brackish marine or sag phase saline or hypersaline carbonates and marls (Gibbs et al., 2003). In the Campos Basin two main pre-salt source kitchens can be identified; an inboard graben which has sourced most of the hydrocarbons and an...

Loess–paleosol sequences preserve records of climatic change during the Quaternary, which is important for paleoclimate study. In this study, a loess-palaeosol sequence from the Chumbur-Kosa (CK) site in the Sea of Azov region was investigated to reconstruct climatic variability during the Marine Isotope Stage (MIS)11- MIS 1, using proxies of grain...
The global correlation between North China craton and other paleo-continents at the base of the Paibian Stage has always been a challenge. Primarily due to the shallow-water endemic nature of the fossil materials, a precise biostratigraphic global correlation on this craton at this particular boundary is difficult. The study of the traditional Mid-...
The reconstruction of past temperatures is often achieved through
measuring the Mg/Ca value of foraminiferal test carbonate. The diversity
in foraminiferal Mg/Ca-temperature calibrations suggests that there is
also a biological control on this proxy. This study presents a new
Mg/Ca-temperature calibration for the benthic foraminifer Bulimina
margin...
Pulleniatina obliquiloculata shells from 16 core-top samples from the tropical Indo-Pacific Oceans are analyzed for the ratios of boron and cadmium to calcium (B/Ca and Cd/Ca). The B/Ca ratios show a very weak positive relationship with [B(HO)4 -] and the dissolved carbonate species at the apparent calcification depth of P. obliquiloculata. The bor...
The SiO2/Al2O} and K2OM2O 3 ratios are used as proxies for grain size and sea depth changes in a more than 400 m thick succession of Telychian to Ludfordian shale and marlstone of the Priekule core. Good correlation of the increased SiO 2/Al2O3 and K2O/Al2O 3 values in the Priekule section with positive δ13C excursions recognized worldwide suggests...
