Carbonate mounds of the Moroccan Mediterranean margin: Facies and environmental controls

Terhzaz, Loubna ; Hamoumi, Naima ; Spezzaferri, Silvia ; El Lotfi, Mostapha ; Henriet, Jean-Pierre

In: Comptes Rendus Geoscience, 2018, vol. 350, no. 5, p. 212–221

Sedimentological and geochemical studies of boxcores from the Brittlestar Ridge I and Cabliers carbonate mounds, along the Moroccan Mediterranean margin, show that sediments are composed of cold water scleratian corals and micritic mud, muddy micrite or muddy allochem limestone matrix, outlining seven different facies that can be attributed to “cluster reefs”. The mixed...

Age and synchronicity of planktonic foraminiferal bioevents across the Cenomanian – Turonian boundary interval (Late Cretaceous)

Falzoni, Francesca ; Petrizzo, Maria Rose ; Caron, Michèle ; Leckie, R. Mark ; Elderbak, Khalifa

In: Newsletters on Stratigraphy, 2018, vol. 51, no. 3, p. 343–380

The upper Cenomanian – lower Turonian is a key-stratigraphic interval, as it encompasses the Late Cretaceous supergreenhouse and a major perturbation of the global carbon cycle (i. e., Oceanic Anoxic Event 2) as evidenced by a global positive carbon isotope excursion and by the nearly world-wide deposition of organic-rich marine facies. A turnover in planktonic foraminiferal assemblages and...

Circularly polarized reflection from the scarab beetle Chalcothea smaragdina: light scattering by a dual photonic structure

McDonald, Luke T. ; Finlayson, Ewan D. ; Wilts, Bodo D. ; Vukusic, Pete

In: Interface Focus, 2017, vol. 7, no. 4, p. 20160129

Helicoidal architectures comprising various polysaccharides, such as chitin and cellulose, have been reported in biological systems. In some cases, these architectures exhibit stunning optical properties analogous to ordered cholesteric liquid crystal phases. In this work, we characterize the circularly polarized reflectance and optical scattering from the cuticle of the beetle Chalcothea...
