This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The geology of the Blouberg mountain area, Northern Province, South Africa is characterised by a number of successor basins developed over a region which is underlain by a cratonic suture (the Palala Shear Zone). The suture was formed during the Limpopo Orogeny, due to oblique convergence of the Kaapvaal Craton and the Central Zone of the Limpopo Mobile Belt at either 2.65Ga or 2.0Ga. Post-collisional brittle reactivation along the Palala Shear Zone in the Blouberg study area is accommodated on the parallel Melinda Fault. The earliest basin developed in this area was that of the Blouberg Formation, which is preserved in an area restricted to the eastwards extension of the Palala Shear Zone. The Blouberg Formation can be divided into Lower and Upper Members. The widespread Lower Member is thought to have been deposited in a pull-apart basin, is characterised by braided fluvial sheetflood deposits, and is generally steeply-dipping or overturned, reflecting a subsequent southwards-vergent basin inversion. The Upper Member contrasts with the Lower Member in that it is preserved only rarely, is generally flat-:lying, and is composed of conglomerates with sub-angular cobbles of foliated basement rocks with rare granulestone beds, reflecting deposition in debris flows and braided rivers respectively. The tectonic event responsible for the southwards-vergent basin inversion of the Lower Member probably also uplifted proximal basement sources to the north and east, leading to deposition of the Upper Member in localised basins close to the southern strand of the Melinda Fault scarp. The syn-tectonic deposition of the Blouberg Formation was followed by a period of relative tectonic quiescence, and deposition of the Waterberg Group. The fluvial Setlaole Formation was succeeded by the predominantly aeolian Makgabeng Formation. Strata of these two formations are not preserved north of the Melinda Fault, probably due to the syn-Blouberg tectonic activity, which had led to development of high topography in this area. This palaeohigh gradually denuded throughout Waterberg sedimentation. Ultimately, the Mogalalcwena Formation, the youngest of the Waterberg units in the study area, onlapped northwards over these denuding highlands. After the end of Mogalakwena deposition, renewed tectonic activity led to approximately north-south orientated extension. Syn-Blouberg northwards-dipping reverse faults along the southern strand of the Melinda Fault were locally reactivated as normal faults, resulting in a half-graben type environment. A depository was created above the hanging wall, which filled with the strata of the Soutpansberg Group: initially volcanics of the Sibasa Formation erupted, followed by the clastic deposition of the Wyllies Poort Formation. Late-stage reactivation along the Palala Shear Zone is represented by the northern strand of the Melinda Fault, which is generally a dextral strike-slip fault, with up to 17km of total displacement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Indian shield represents a vast repository of the Palaeoproterozoic geological record. Built over the four large amalgamated Archaean nuclei (Dharwar, Bastar, Singhbhum and Aravalli-Bundelkhand) the major and minor Palaeoproterozoic sedimentary basins and supracrustal sequences in India are comparable in scale, and perhaps also in development, to those of North America, Africa, Australia and Brazil. The deformation of these supracrustal sequences, attendant metamorphism and emplacement of plutonic bodies hold important clues to their connection with major orogenies. Research in these areas has led to investigations into global correlation, which in turn has had a direct bearing on refining models of Palaeoproterozoic supercontinent assembly and break-up. This book covers various aspects of regional geology as well as broader issues of the Indian Palaeoproterozoic geology and its global context. It is an outcome of the UNESCO-IGCP 509 Palaeoproterozoic Supercontinents and Global Evolution research project.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive overview of the evolution of one of the oldest and best-exposed Archaean cratons on this planet. There is currently a renewed interest in the early Earth, and the Kaapvaal craton has long served as a model for early crustal evolution. This unique multidisciplinary resource features information on geology, tectonics, geochemistry, and geochronology. It offers a wealth of new data on various aspects of the craton as well as contributions on the various crustal units by international specialists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding of rivers and their sediments, both as modern systems and as ancient counterparts in the geological record, has progressed steadily but markedly over the past several decades, with contributions by practitioners in diverse fields of geosciences and engineering. This book contains 31 papers, with authors from 13 countries, who participated in the Sixth International Conference on Fluvial Sedimentology held in Cape Town, South Africa, in 1977. True to the nature of these quadrennial conferences, the papers in this book discuss a broad range of fluvial subjects that include the character of bedforms and sediment transport in river channels, morphological and sedimentological features of modern fluvial environments, modern and ancient avulsions, internal and external controls on the behaviour of river systems, and the facies and architectural organization of alluvial deposits. A specialist volume detailing the latest advances in fluvial sedimentology. Authorship includes the leaders in the field.

Download or read book From Fossils to Astrobiology written by Joseph Seckbach and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-11-07 with total page 539 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Fossils to Astrobiology reviews developments in paleontology and geobiology that relate to the rapidly-developing field of Astrobiology, the study of life in the Universe. Many traditional areas of scientific study, including astronomy, chemistry and planetary science, contribute to Astrobiology, but the study of the record of life on planet Earth is critical in guiding investigations in the rest of the cosmos. In this varied book, expert scientists from 15 countries present peer-reviewed, stimulating reviews of paleontological and astrobiological studies. The overviews of established and emerging techniques for studying modern and ancient microorganisms on Earth and beyond, will be valuable guides to evaluating biosignatures which could be found in the extraterrestrial surface or subsurface within the Solar System and beyond. This volume also provides discussion on the controversial reports of "nanobacteria" in the Martian meteorite ALH84001. It is a unique volume among Astrobiology monographs in focusing on fossil evidence from the geological record and will be valuable to students and researchers alike.
