We propose three partly unrelated stages in the geodynamic evolution of the Alps and the sedimentary response of the Molasse Basin. The first stage comprises the time interval between ca. 35 and 20 Ma and is c...
Detailed investigation of facies and sedimentary structures reveals that, during the Middle Oxfordian to Late Kimmeridgian, the shallow carbonate platform of the Swiss and French Jura Mountains recorded high-f...

Since the 1970s, radiolarians have been used extensively to study and characterize basin successions from the peri-Mediterranean regions. However, no data was ever produced in Tunisia in spite of the occurrenc...
The Strona-Ceneri Zone comprises a succession of polymetamorphic, pre-Alpidic basement rocks including ortho- and paragneisses, metasedimentary schists, amphibolites, and eclogites. The rock pile represents a ...
Environmentally controlled studies on living radiolarians, especially on their feeding mechanisms are rare. In the same way, feeding behaviours of fossil radiolarians are poorly known. In this work, techniques...
A revision of the calpionellid bio-chronostratigraphy in Western Sicily (Italy) was carried out, in order to update the taxonomy of this group, through the identification of some genera (Borziella, Longicollaria,...
The southernmost Upper Rhine Graben and adjacent Jura experienced basement-rooted shortening that occurred after the deposition of the Pliocene fluvial “Sundgau gravels”. Folds affecting the base of these grav...
In Central Switzerland, Mesozoic sedimentation began after erosion and peneplainisation of the Hercynian relief and late Paleozoic continental deposition in SW-NE striking pull-apart basins. The first Triassic...
Des plantes fossiles du Jurassique supérieur rapportées aux Gymnospermes s.l. provenant du massif Manamana, au sud-ouest de Madagascar, ont été étudiées. Elles sont attribuées aux Ptéridospermales et aux Conif...
Briançonnais units are squeezed between two Mesozoic eclogitic belts (Piemont-Ligurian ocean and Valaisan ocean) along the ECORS-CROP seismic line in the Italian-French Western Alps (France, Italy). The metamo...
A variety of geological, hydrochemical and isotopic techniques were applied to explain the origin of exceptionally high radon levels in the St.Placidus spring near the city of Disentis in the Swiss Alps, where...
Shallow-water limestones of presumed Late Cretaceous and Eocene age, interbedded with basaltic lavas, were described by earlier authors from São Nicolau in the northwestern part of the Cabo Verde archipelago. ...
Cenozoic fossil stalked crinoids are poorly known. Based on a large, new collection of disarticulated columnals and cups, a new gracile bourgueticrinid, Democrinus simmsi species nov., is described from the Eocen...
The Athesian Volcanic District (AVD), a thick sequence of andesitic to rhyolitic lava and ignimbrite, overlies both the Variscan basement of the Dolomites and, where present, the continental basal conglomerate...
Geomorphic and morphometric data imply that process rates of the Schimbrig landslide, located in the Entle watershed (Central Switzerland), are still limited by the elevation of the LGM base level. At present,...
The late founding of the Société géologique Suisse (Swiss Geological Society) in 1882 and then in 1888, the first publication of its bulletin, the Eclogae Geologicae Helvetiae, are partly related to the federativ...
The Regione Lombardia geological mapping program (CARG), in collaboration with the Istituto Nazionale di Oceanografia e Geofisica Sperimentale of Trieste (OGS), realized a geophysical study of Iseo Lake (Sebino).
The Naret region has a complex geological history of Alpine polyphase folding and metamorphism that affected pre-Alpine rocks of the Maggia nappe, including the Matorello group (interpreted in this study as la...
Detailed geological mapping in the Drosh-Shishi area in southern Chitral (NW Pakistan) was combined with high-precision U-Pb dating on zircons to constrain the timing of magmatism and associated deformation/me...
The Hyaenidae are one of the most diverse groups of carnivores in terms of body size and craniodental morphology, and as such they represent an ideal case to study the correlation between dental, and skeletal ...
Paleomagnetic analyses were carried out on samples from 19 localities within two different mega-tectonic units in Northern Romania: Tisza-Dacia (11 localities) and ALCAPA (8 localities). The samples cover a ra...
We have selected and dated three contrasting rock-types representative of the magmatic activity within the Permian layered mafic complex of Mont Collon, Austroalpine Dent Blanche nappe, Western Alps. A pegmati...
Ammonoid diversity patterns show that the spreading of oceanic anoxia is not the initial and major kill mechanism for the Cenomanian/Turonian mass extinction as usually suggested. In the Anglo-Paris Basin and ...
Remains of the cercopithecid Mesopithecus monspessulanus are relatively rare. Two previously unpublished mandibles of M. monspessulanus (housed in the Basel Naturhistorisches Museum), from the Italian locality of...
A systematic account of a diverse crinoid fauna from the Middle Jurassic (Upper Bajocian–Callovian) of the Polish Jura Chain and Holy Cross Mountains (south-central Poland) is presented. The description is sup...
Carbon and Oxygen isotope profiles from a well-dated carbonate section spanning the Sinemurian time on the Caussenard High (southeast France) are compared to sedimentological data and the results from sequence...
This report of the Swiss Seismological Service summarizes the seismic activity in Switzerland and surrounding regions during 2005. During this period, 611 earthquakes, 96 quarry blasts and two landslides were ...
The foraminifer species Dicarinella imbricata, from the Upper Cretaceous of Switzerland, was established in 1949 by L. Mornod. The holotype was figured only by Mornod’s drawings and the specimen was never made av...
The Mauensee section in the Molasse Basin of central Switzerland exposes a 3.7 m thick lacustrine sequence intercalated in marine siliciclastic deposits of the Upper Marine Molasse. From this sequence, which i...
Early Aptian sediments mostly referred to as “upper Orbitolina beds” are known from a relatively small number of outcrop areas throughout the distal part of the Helvetic Zone of Switzerland, Austria and German...
The well-preserved sedimentary structures of the Goli d’Aget Member (Early Permian) allow to distinguish four successive environments of deposition: 1) An alluvial plain with important channeling and evidence ...
In den bis zu 15,000 Jahre alten Sedimenten von vier Seen in der Zentralschweiz wurden Spuren von drei starken historischen und mindestens sieben prähistorischen Erdbeben gefunden. Der Schweizer Erdbebenkatalo...
The 10 km thick pile of Queyras Schistes lustrés has a complex structure, resulting from successive deformation phases (D1 to D5). The tectonic history starts with the building of a syn-subduction wedge throug...
