Reworked microfossils as a paleogeographic tool

Pirkenseer, Claudius ; Spezzaferri, Silvia ; Berger, Jean-Pierre

In: Geology, 2011, vol. 39, no. 9, p. 843-846

The abundant occurrence of reworked microfossils within the paleogeographically restricted Upper Rhine Graben of central Europe represents a unique opportunity to investigate their inherent information, allowing new insights into the paleogeographic framework and past sedimentary pathways. In the late Rupelian and early Chattian a transgression-regression cycle linked to the global Ru2–Ru3...

New skeleton from the early Oligocene of Germany indicates a stem-group position of diomedeoidid birds

De Pietri, Vanesa L. ; Berger, Jean-Pierre ; Pirkenseer, Claudius ; Scherler, Laureline ; Mayr, Gerald

In: Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2010, vol. 55, no. 1, p. 23-34

We report a new specimen of the extinct procellariiform species Diomedeoides brodkorbi (Aves, Diomedeoididae) from the early Oligocene (Rupelian) of Rheinweiler in southwestern Germany. The well−preserved partial skeleton allows the recognition and reassessment of new osteological details that bear on the phylogenetic affinities of diomedeoidids. The presence on the coracoid of a deeply...

Sédimentologie et paléontologie des paléoenvironnements côtiers rupéliens de la Molasse marine rhénane dans le Jura suisse

Picot, Laurent ; Becker, Damien ; Cavin, Lionel ; Pirkenseer, Claudius ; Lapaire, Frédéric ; Rauber, Gaëtan ; Hochuli, Peter A. ; Spezzaferri, Silvia ; Berger, Jean-Pierre

In: Swiss Journal of Geosciences, 2008, vol. 101, no. 2, p. 483-513

Les dépôts oligocènes marins, situés dans la partie distale du bassin molassique suisse et dans le prolongement sud du fossé rhénan, sont constitués par les groupes stratigraphiques suivants: les Conglomérats de Porrentruy, le Septarienton et le Meeressand. Cette série sédimentaire a fait l’objet d’études stratigraphiques, sédimentologiques et paléontologiques détaillées. Trois...

Scanning electron microscope images of uncoated microfossils: applications, perspectives and limitations

Spezzaferri, Silvia ; Neururer, Christoph ; Pirkenseer, Claudius ; Grobéty, Bernard

In: The Journal of Foraminiferal Research, 2007, vol. 37, no. 3, p. 270-276

We present a recently developed method using a field emission scanning electron microscope (FEG) to view and photograph microfossil specimens that are not coated by conductive material. The FEG microscope provides high electron flux and offers the option to capture images at low beam voltage. Balancing incident energy with absorbed energy from the detector leads to charge-free images of...
