special papers sedimentary provenance and petrogenesis perspectives from petrography and geochemistry sedimentary provenance and petrogenesis perspectives from petrography and geochemistry edited by josé arribas salvatore critelli and mark j johnsson 2007 this book offers a wide spectrum of papers concerning applications of sedimentary provenance tools to specific field studies papers are grouped by region with an overwhelming european flavor focusing on italian areas on the iberian peninsula and on transdanubian regions readers are transported from india to mexico across the indian ocean new zealand and pacific ocean at the end of the volume two papers use a variety of study areas to illustrate the utility of apatite in provenance studies and a model of the system controlling sand composition along this journey readers will explore incredibly diverse topics such as the use of gypsarenites in messinian salinity crisis to provenance shifts in neolithic settlements from carbonate particles to apatite geochemistry from weathering in uplands to deep sea sedimentation the common aim of all of the papers in this volume is to shed light on our knowledge of the past from sedimentary remains spe420 379 p plus index isbn-13 978-0-8137-2420-1 $90.00 member price $63.00 edited by josé arribas salvatore critelli and mark j johnsson special paper 420 convergent margin terranes and associated regions a tribute to w.g ernst convergent margin terranes and associated regions a tribute to w.g ernst edited by m cloos w.d carlson m.c gilbert j.g liou and s.s sorensen 2007 a symposium titled phase relations high p­t-ometry and plate pushing was held at the 2003 geological society of america annual meeting as a tribute to professor w gary ernst whose teaching career at the university of california at los angeles 1960­1989 and stanford university 1989­2004 enriched the lives of thousands of undergraduate students and dozens of graduate students one hundred and nine presentations in three oral sessions and one poster session were made by gary s former students colleagues and friends this volume is a collection of papers that center on the geotectonic themes showcased in the symposium and reflecting the diverse interests and prodigious publications of gary ernst they concern the geologic history of units formed or exposed primarily due to subduction-zone tectonism papers are grouped starting with those that focus directly on subduction-zone tectonics followed by studies of terranes exposed largely because of movements at convergent margins spe419 273

in the mediterranean area edited by luigi beccaluva gianluca bianchini and marjorie wilson 2007 the widespread volcanism that affected the mediterranean region during the cenozoic includes a wide spectrum of magmatic affinities reflecting the complex geodynamic setting of the area magmatism is linked to the evolution of a series of subduction zones formed during africa-eurasia convergence including the relative migration of trench-arc systems opening of interarc basins and the development of postcollisional within-plate rifts mantle plume activity may also have a significant influence in a number of localities this collection of papers documents our current understanding of the magmatism in a number of key areas providing a useful and comprehensive reference for researchers interested in this topic papers summarize results of comprehensive petrological and geochemical studies integrated with available geophysical data including seismic tomography allowing characterization of the mantle source of the magmas and magma generation processes mantle evolution and dynamics are discussed from an interdisciplinary perspective providing an improved understanding of the complex tectonomagmatic setting of the mediterranean region spe418 340 p plus index isbn-13 978-0-8137-2418-8 $85.00 member price $59.50 1000 ic ear bal system rift sa ca ionian adriatic plate

yangtze platform in guizhou province people s republic of china triassic evolution of the yangtze platform in guizhou province people s republic of china by paul enos daniel j lehrmann wei jiayong yu youyi xiao jiafei daniel h chaikin marcello minzoni adrian k berry and paul montgomery 2006 this book provides a thorough account of the triassic rocks on the yangtze platform and adjacent basin in guizhou province china the yangtze platform that stretches across south china was one of earth s very large and very persistent regions of shallow-water deposition the triassic system includes the thickest sections spectacular platform-margin cross sections reputedly the only petroleum source rocks and potential reservoirs and the termination interval for marine deposition on the yangtze platform termination occurred in the early carnian thus lower and middle triassic platform rocks are overwhelmingly carbonates whereas upper triassic are mostly siliciclastic some of the youngest permian rocks in the world covered the platform and the transition to triassic deposition is typically in conformable marine facies so an excellent record of the recovery of biota and shallow-water carbonate deposition from the end-permian extinction is preserved spe417 110 p isbn-13 978-0-8137-2417-1 $40.00 member price $28.00 by paul enos daniel j lehrmann wei jiayong yu youyi xiao jiafei

alonso-zarza and lawrence h tanner 2006 edited by ana maría alonso-zarza and lawrence h tanner this volume presents current understanding of the mechanisms and environments of the formation of calcretes and palustrine carbonates through a series of specific field examples papers in this volume illustrate the wide variety of potential applications of these types of deposits the papers presented here cover a wide array of ages and environmental settings of calcrete and palustrine deposition and include many interesting applications such as the climatic and geomorphic controls on calcrete formation possible modern analogues for palustrine carbonates the interplay between palustrine pedogenic and diagenetic processes the utility of radio-isotopic methods for dating pedogenic carbonates applications to understanding landscape evolution and reconstruction of diagenetic sequences the result is a state-of-the-art book on these deposits so common in the geological record and in recent environments spe416 248 p isbn-10 0-8137-2416-3 isbn-13 978-0-8137-2416-4 $80.00 member price $56.00 4 thegeologicalsocietyofamericap o b o x 914 0 · boulder c o 8 0 3 01 914 0 u s a
