This book was released on 1995 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this document is to augment the guidebooks published by Wilson et al (1984) and Goldhammer et al (1991), which focus largely on the Mesozoic stratigraphy of the Monterrey-Saltillo area of northeast Mexico. This "field log" is intended to provide additional information on section locations plus photographs of pertinent features at the various locations.

This book was released on 1982 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sierra Madre Oriental between Saltillo, Monterrey, and Linares shows a bend in structures that strike from approximately N 35° E to about N 35° W. Most of the rocks involved in the Curvature of Monterrey are Mesozoic in age and range from Late Triassic to Late Cretaceous. Large amplitude folds and thrust faults contribute to the structural complexity of this region. The structural trends present in northeast Mexico are the result of the Late Paleocene-Early Eocene Laramide Orogeny, and their different styles of folding are intimately related to the fundamental landforms of Early Mesozoic paleogeography. Relatively mild deformation is shown in the Mesozoic sedimentary cover that overlies the stable paleocontinental basement highs of the Coahuila, La Mula and Monclova Islands, Tamaulipas Archipelago, and El Burro-Peyotes Peninsula. The tight folding observed in the Sierra Madre Oriental is the result of regional northeastward décollement blocked by the basement highs. Two prominent west-northwest-trending lineaments transect the region: herein named the "Boquillas-Sabinas" and "Sierra Mojada-China" Lineaments. Prominent paleogeographic highs lie on the outside of the area bounded by these lineaments, with the area between occupied by major basins and small "islands". Recurrent motion along these lineaments seems likely and movement along them in Early Mesozoic time blocked out the paleogeographic elements discussed in this dissertation. It is proposed in this study that the structural features of northeast Mexico are the result of a sinistral relative movement of southern United States (westward) with respect to northern Mexico (eastward) during the Laramide Orogeny, contemporaneously with a regional décollement event produced by the tilting toward the northeast of the so-called "Unnamed Occidental Continent" . Thus from the detailed study of the mapped structures and stratigraphic sequences at the Curvature of Monterrey, and from detailed interpretations of satellite photographs, the model presented here for the mechanism of deformation of northeast Mexico explains not only the bend in structures at the Curvature of Monterrey, but also most of the structural trends in northeast Mexico, including the en e[]chelon folds in the Sabinas Gulf

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "AAPG Memoir 79, The Circum-Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean, is the first volume in more than a decade to document such a wide range of research on the geology of this vast area. Of the total 44 papers, roughly two-thirds pertain to the Gulf of Mexico, with an emphasis on the Mexican portion of the basin, and to the petroliferous areas of the southern Caribbean, including Colombia, Venezuela, Cuba, and Trinidad and Tobago. The remaining papers relate to the Antilles and Central America, as well as a series of papers that address region-wide topics such as plate tectonic evolution. A significant number of papers were contributed by authors from national oil companies and universities from within the region." --AAPG.
Download or read book Magnetic Methods and the Timing of Geological Processes written by Luigi Jovane and published by Geological Society of London. This book was released on 2013 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Magnetostratigraphy is best known as a technique that employs correlation among different stratigraphic sections using the magnetic directions defining geomagnetic polarity reversals as marker horizons. The ages of the polarity reversals provide common tie points among the sections, allowing accurate time correlation. Recently, studies of magnetic methods and the timing of geological processes have acquired a broader meaning, now referring to many types of magnetic measurements within a stratigraphic sequence. Many of these measurements provide correlation and age control not only for the older and younger boundaries of a polarity interval, but also within intervals. Thus, magnetostratigraphy no longer represents a dating tool based only on geomagnetic polarity reversals, but comprises a set of techniques that includes measurements of geomagnetic field parameters, environmental magnetism, rock-magnetic properties, radiometric dating and astronomically forced palaeoclimatic change recorded in sedimentary rocks, and key corrections to magnetic directions related to geodynamics, palaeocurrents, tectonics and diagenetic processes --

This book was released on 2014-04-15 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This overview of dinosaur discoveries in Mexico synthesizes current information about the geography and environment of the region during the Mesozoic when it was the western margin of the ancient continent of Pangea. The book summarizes research on various groups, including turtles, lepidosauromorphs, plesiosaurs, crocodyliforms, pterosaurs, and last but not least, dinosaurs. In addition, chapters focus on trackways and other trace fossils and on K/P boundary (the Chicxulub crater, beneath the Gulf of Mexico, has been hypothesized as the site of the boloid impact that killed off the dinosaurs). Dinosaurs and Other Reptiles from the Mesozoic of Mexico is an up-to-date, informative volume on an area that has not been comprehensively described until now.
