A continuous marine succession formed from the Silurian into the Devonian, and the boundary is drawn at the top of the Silurian Series with the crinoid genus Scyphocrinites.
The succession formed on a non-rimmed shelf, the architecture of which varied from an inner to an outer shelf setting upsection.
Kathmandu Valley, the target of this study, is a suitable place for the analysis of long-term earthquake history, because a thick basin-fill sediment succession formed between 10 and 50 ka is exposed on land, allowing easy access to the long-term sedimentary record.
Since then, the site has been completely recolonized by vegetation through ecological succession, forming tree, shrub and herb layers.
Such cyclic step-antidune successions form the characteristic basal infill of mid-fan channels, and are inferred to be related to successive supercritical high-density turbidity flows triggered by retrogressive slope failures.
The Hakobuchi Formation shows upward-coarsening facies successions formed by progradation of the inner shelf to delta plain systems (Ando 2003), and these were categorized to be outer to inner shelf, shoreface, subordinate estuary, incised valley, river-channel, back-marsh, and floodplain after Takashima et al. (2004).
This work has the main goal to characterize the sedimentary successions formed in the Brazilian Amazon in the Neogene-Quaternary discussing the evolution of the depositional systems through time and analyzing their main controlling mechanisms in order to fill up this gap.
In order to investigate the effective role of sedimentological analysis in the interpretation of geotechnical data, with special reference to coastal transitional paleoenvironments, a study on the Quaternary alluvial and coastal plain successions forming the upper 30 m of the Tronto River valley subsoil, facing the Italian Central Adriatic Sea, has been carried out.
For it was not only a religious concept with a succession of forms leading from the most lowly pond scum, through mankind, the highest Earthly form, on up to the Angels and God above.
In some cases the succession of forms over time has been reconstructed in detail.
