Revision of the planktonic foraminiferal biostratigraphy of the Voirons Flysch (Chablais Prealps, Haute-Savoie, France)

Ragusa, Jérémy ; Ospina-Ostios, Lina Maria ; Spezzaferri, Silvia ; Kindler, Pascal

In: Swiss Journal of Geosciences, 2018, vol. 111, no. 3, p. 461–473

The ages obtained from planktonic foraminiferal assemblages retrieved from two exposures in the Gurnigel Flysch and from the re-examination of similar material gathered by previous researchers from the Voirons Flysch reveal only minor discrepancies with previous studies based on nannofossil biostratigraphy. In contrast, major divergences between this work and previous studies on the Voirons...

The initiation of the southern central Great Barrier Reef: New multiproxy data from Pleistocene distal sediments from the Marion Plateau (NE Australia)

Dubois, Nathalie ; Kindler, Pascal ; Spezzaferri, Silvia ; Coric, Stjepan

In: Marine Geology, 2008, vol. 250, p. 223–233

Significant synchronous shifts in the chemistry, mineralogy, grain sizes and color of the sediments at 6 m below sea floor (mbsf) at ODP Site 1195 on the Marion Plateau (NE Australia) are interpreted to reflect a major regional paleoceanographic change: the initiation of the southern province of the Great Barrier Reef (GBR). The onset of this massive carbonate production centre nearby resulted...
