Liquefaction Phenomena Induced by the 26 November 2019, Mw = 6.4 Durrës (Albania) Earthquake and Liquefaction Susceptibility Assessment in the Affected Area by Spyridon Mavroulis, Efthymios Lekkas, Panayotis Carydis

“…These graben-like areas are bounded by NW–SE striking marginal thrust faults and are filled with geological formations of Neogene to Quaternary age. These NW–SE striking zones and structures coincide with the NW–SE striking seismogenic thrust fault of the November 2019 earthquake as it is derived from the provided fault plane solutions. …”

The fossil recordand evolution of freshwater plants: A review by C. Martín-Closas

“…Diatoms, which were exclusively marine during tens of millions of years, were dominant over the Chlorococcales during Neogene and in later assemblages. During the Quaternary, aquatic plant communities suffered from the effects of eutrophication, paludification and acidification, which were the result of the combined impact of glaciation and anthropogenic disturbance.…”

CENOZOIC MICROFOSSIL (FORAMINIFERA AND CALCAREOUS NANNOFOSSILS) ASSEMBLAGES FROM THE SUBSURFACE MAGALLANES BASIN, TIERRA DEL FUEGO ISLAND, CHILE by Jens Michael Thissen, Juan Pablo Pérez Panera

“…The analyzed Paleogene and Neogene successions in these three wells correspond to five discrete foraminiferal and nannofossil assemblages, which were recognized and are described here: the early–middle Paleocene assemblage is mainly characterized by agglutinated foraminifera and few nannofossil species like Chiasmolithus danicus and Prinsius tenuiculus; the early Eocene assemblage is represented by low diversity and oceanic species, consisting of planktic foraminifera like Subbotina triloculinoides, radiolarians and calcareous nannofossils including Chiasmolithus bidens and Toweius pertusus; the middle–late Eocene assemblage is the most diverse of all those distinguished in this study, as it contains a rich microfauna of benthic and planktic foraminifera including the species Elphidium saginatum, Virgulinella severini, and Globigerinatheka index, as well as numerous nannofossils like Chiasmolithus solitus, C. oamaruensis and Reticulofenestra reticulata; the early Oligocene marks the turnover to a reduced assemblage including Subbotina angiporoides and Chiasmolithus altus; and ultimately, the late Oligocene–early Miocene assemblage, characterized by a low species richness of mainly nonionid foraminifera and reticulofenestrid nannofossils. …”
