Abstract:
A rich macroflora has been collected from eleven localities in the Lower Member of the Campo Chico Formation in the Cafto Colorado area of the Sierra de Perija, Western Venezuela. A new geological map of the area has been produced. The sediments were deposited in a deltaic environment. Faunal evidence suggests an age between early Givetian and Late Devonian. Palynological preparations suggest an age of Givetian or latest Eifelian for the lower plant-bearing horizons. The plants themselves indicate a latest Eifelian-early Frasniana age. Some nineteen plant taxa are recorded, including five new

Abstract:
Little recent work has directly addressed the variation in dinoflagellate cyst assemblages and the resulting biostratigraphy from the Turonian of southern England. Sampling (every 1-2m) of the whole succession from three areas (Dover, Sussex and the Isle of Wight), together with sedimentological and macropalaeontological detail provided a good basis for what is primarily a biostratigraphical study. Altogether 328 samples were analysed. It is one of the aims of this project to expand on the knowledge and geographical limits of dinoflagellate cyst assemblages from the Turonian. Full descriptions

Abstract:
Records of pollen deposition on arctic ice caps are used to infer paleoenvironments of the Holocene and atmospheric circulation patterns in the Arctic. As part of this study, several snow samples were collected over a broad area, over the course of several years, to investigate modern pollen deposition patterns in the Arctic. Pollen assemblages recovered from arctic snow are diverse and consist of tundra and forest types. The results show that pollen percentages and concentrations are related to the density of the regional vegetation and to the distance of the source in more productive regions

The broad aim of this thesis is to further understanding of British Iron Age animal husbandry regimes by undertaking a comparative study of faunal assemblages. More specifically, this involves development of a uniform methodology for comparing published faunal data in order to recognise inter and intra-regional patterns of animal husbandry. Lack of uniformity in methods of recording and presenting faunal data, together with variation in the quality and quantity of information published in reports, serves as a barrier to systematic quantitative comparison.

Some changes are likely during this 4000-year period. Hitherto, however, it has proved difficult to identify chronological and regional variations within the British narrow-blade industries, based on stylistic and technical attributes.
