Comparing the deep sea rock and fossil records of coccolithophores and plankt...Graeme Lloyd
This document compares the deep sea rock and fossil records of coccolithophores and planktic foraminifera. It finds that the deep sea rock record shows an exponential rise over time as ocean basins opened. The coccolith fossil record shows a linear rise in species and a rapid then slow fall in genera. The foraminifera fossil record shows a double sawtooth pattern divided by the K-T boundary. It also finds the deep sea rock and fossil records are strongly correlated and that foraminifera fossil records may be less biased than coccoliths.
The document discusses the health risks of artificial infant feeding compared to breastfeeding. It states that the health risks of artificial feeding are now well-established, while breastfeeding provides protection against illnesses and lowers disease risks. While women who breastfeed have a lower risk of some cancers and fractures later in life, increasing breastfeeding rates in industrialized nations could save a minimum of $3.6 billion per year according to estimates.
This document provides an overview of paleoclimatology and various proxy records used to study past climates such as ice cores, tree rings, coral reefs, ocean and lake sediments, caves, and pollen. It describes how each proxy forms layers over time that can be analyzed to obtain climatic data like temperature, precipitation levels, and atmospheric composition from the distant past. Various techniques are discussed for extracting and examining these climate proxies to reconstruct changes in Earth's environment over thousands of years.
The document summarizes the findings of archaeological excavations at the Gray Farm Site in central Delaware. Several activity areas were identified from the Early and Middle Woodland periods, as well as the Late Woodland period. Projectile points, ceramics, ground stone tools, microtools, and faunal remains provided evidence of subsistence practices like hunting and seed and tuber processing. Starch grain and phytolith analysis identified plants processed and consumed, including various grasses and sedges. The excavations provided insights into Native American lifeways at the site from the Late Archaic through Late Woodland periods.
PETROGRAPHIC COMPOSITION AND DEPOSITIONAL ENVIRONMENTS OF CRETACEOUS COALSAgbaje Mayowa
This document summarizes a study of the petrographic composition and depositional environments of Cretaceous coals in the Middle Benue Trough of Nigeria. Three coal facies were identified based on maceral analysis: a vitrinite-fusinite facies deposited in wet forest swamps, a trimaceritic facies deposited in delta plains, and a shaly facies deposited between dry-wet forest swamps and limno-telmatic clastic marshes. Tissue preservation indices and fossil evidence from interbedded sediments were used to interpret the depositional environments of each facies. The study provides insight into the paleoenvironmental conditions during formation of the coals in the Cretace
Christian Heinrich Pander first described conodonts in 1859, originally thinking they were small fish teeth. Later hypotheses suggested they came from various worm, mollusk, and arthropod groups. By the 1970s, the prevailing hypotheses were that conodonts were related to polychaete worms or chordates. The study examines Late Devonian to Early Carboniferous conodonts from deepwater deposits in the Komi Science Center region. Fieldwork was conducted to collect samples, which were then studied using microscopes. A variety of conodont genera including Polygnathus, Palmatolepis, and Pseudopolygnathus were identified.

The Devonian Period lasted from 417 to 354 million years ago. During this time, temperatures fluctuated and primitive plant life emerged on land. The early Devonian saw warm temperatures and simple plant life less than 3 feet tall. Middle Devonian temperatures cooled in some regions as plant life became more diverse. Late Devonian temperatures increased again and forests of trees up to 30 feet tall developed. Several extinction events occurred near the end of the period, including the Hangenberg Event, which caused the demise of some marine life groups. By the late Devonian, the continents had largely merged into a single landmass called Pangaea through the process of plate tectonics.
Is there a rock-bias to diversity patterns in the deep sea?Graeme Lloyd
This document analyzes the relationship between deep sea rock record and biodiversity patterns using coccolithophore data from the North Atlantic. It finds:
1) Deep sea species richness shows a linear rise over time with short-term fluctuations, while the deep sea rock record shows an exponential rise with short-term fluctuations.
2) The two time series are strongly and significantly correlated over both the long-term and short-term, indicating that deep sea biodiversity is correlated with the amount of sediment available to preserve fossils, similar to patterns on land.
3) The number of sample sites is a good predictor of deep sea species richness over time.
Diatoms are unicellular algae that are the most abundant phytoplankton in aquatic ecosystems. They have glass-like cell walls made of silica and live in oceans, lakes, rivers and moist soils. Diatoms have intricate patterns on their cell walls and come in many different shapes. They reproduce through both asexual and sexual cycles and play an important ecological role as primary producers and indicators of water quality.
Radiolarian micropalaeontology: morphology and taxonomyProf Simon Haslett
This document provides an introduction to radiolarian micropalaeontology, including:

This chapter discusses different methods of classifying climates, including the Köppen system which divides climates into six major zones. It describes the characteristics of tropical, polar, mesothermal, microthermal, and arid climates. The chapter also addresses past climates throughout the Pleistocene and Holocene epochs and methods for revealing past climates. It discusses rates of climate change and the various natural and human causes of climate change, including orbital variations, greenhouse gases, and land use changes. Finally, it covers predicting future climates using models and the scientific consensus around human-caused global warming.
Forensic palynology is the application of palynology, the study of pollen and spores, to legal issues. It uses the unique pollen and spore assemblages found in different geographic locations to associate people, places, and things. Analysis under microscopes can identify and compare pollen and spore samples to determine if they originated from the same source. Two case studies are described where forensic palynological evidence helped identify a crime scene and associate a suspect with a crime scene through pollen evidence. While not widely used in the US, it has been an important forensic technique used in other countries.
The document discusses concepts in biostratigraphy and lithostratigraphy. It explains that lithostratigraphic correlation allows construction of a composite stratigraphic column by matching continuous rock formations between different parks, while biostratigraphy uses index fossils to match rocks of the same age. Different types of biozones are described, including taxon range zones defined by the first and last appearances of species, and concurrent range zones defined by overlapping ranges.
Bioluminescence is a chemical reaction that produces light. Many marine organisms produce bioluminescence, including bacteria, dinoflagellates, jellyfish, squid, shrimp, and fish. Bacterial bioluminescence involves symbiotic relationships with bacteria that produce light, while intrinsic bioluminescence is produced within the organism's tissues. Some squid use a "blink and run" defense method involving a bioluminescent cloud. Countershading provides camouflage, while bioluminescence may have evolved in bacteria and marine life as an advantage for reproduction, predator avoidance, communication, and feeding.

It's a class presentation at Dept. Of Earth Sciences IIT bombay. I have included main type of the Microfossils and their index feature and applications.
Fossil fuels are fuels formed from the remains of ancient organisms. There are three main types: coal, oil, and natural gas. Coal forms from peat and contains carbon. Oil forms from the remains of organisms buried under sediment and forms under heat and pressure. Natural gas forms in a similar way to oil and is lighter than air. Fossil fuels are important energy sources but their extraction and use also carries environmental risks like oil spills.
This document outlines an agenda for an Earth Sciences library research seminar.
