The mixed siliciclastic-carbonate successions of Early Mesozoic age exposed in the Pseudoverrucano tectonic units, along the coast of southern Tuscany (Montebrandoli and Punta delle Rocchette, Early Liassic) and in the Monti dell’Uccellina
Several processes of oil and gas geology are studied in connection with plate-tectonical processes. Thus it becomes clear, that there is a distinct difference between the Paleozoic development of the Europian plate and the Mesozoic development. (HL).
The most important factor contributing to the survival of ancient landscapes in Australia is the low rate of denudation which the continent has experienced during the Mesozoic and Cenozoic. However, in order for landforms to have survived over
between those from a nordic source and those from an indigenous (i.e. German) source, with the latter being divided into Mesozoic and Paleozoic rocks. The individual terrace sediment bodies can be identified on the basis of differences in the ratios
of nordic, Mesozoic, and Paleozoic material. These terraces are represented in 13 transverse profiles and one longitudinal profile.

This paper discusses the significance of relict landforms eroded on Precambrian, Palaeozoic and Mesozoic rocks of the Sierras Pampeanas (Argentina), within the framework of Gondwanaland evolution. The erosion surfaces which have successively
In order to study the late Mesozoic and Cenozoic landscape development of the eastern part of the South German Scarplands, the AA. compiled the present data available from the literature and their own field work in the surroundings of the Franconian
-Hercynian time (Mesozoic and Cenozoic), or is it a composite terrane formed by Cenozoic collision of two subterranes, northern and southern? (2) What has the history of subduction under Calabria been? (3) Is there a recognizable match between the Hercynian
and Mesozoic geology of Sardinia and of Calabria? (4) How was Calabria extended during its rifting away from Sardinia? - (NF)
Aim of this paper is to obtain a better definition of the stratigraphic succession of the M. Facito fm. that is the oldest part of the Lagonegro Mesozoic basin in Southern Apennines (Italy). Seismic data show that the Lagonegro succession
The geology of the Rocca Busambra-Corleone region, in centralwestern Sicily, is relevant to the understanding of the central sector of the Maghrebian-Sicilian fold-and-thrust belt. In the investigated area Mesozoic shallow- and deep-water carbonate

Analyses of sediments, planation surfaces and topography in the lower Pearl River system, indicates that distribution of most of the larger rivers is pre-Oligocene. Late Mesozoic granite exposures are typically located in cores of anticlines
Four main geological sequences have been established: Cenozoic (1.9 to 2.8km/s)| Cretaceous (3.2 to 4.0km/s)| lower to middle Mesozoic (4.5 to 5.0km/s)| pre-Mesozoic (5.4 to 6.3km/s). These agree broadly with the adjoining western approaches
The age of planation surfaces within South America has been revised. Dominant surface which cuts Pre-Cambrian and Lower Paleolithic rocks (L. King considers the surface to be Sul-American) is proved to be Mesozoic Post-Gondwanian one. Sul-American
and younger surfaces are developed mostly on Mesozoic and Cenozoic rocks, but more widely within the limits of the Andes zone. Tectonic uplift amplitudes are defined by measurements of planation surfaces distortions, shown at the applied map with isobases
depict the basin evolution. The pattern of basin development in the Quaternary differs distinctly from that in Neogene times| resemblance with the pattern in Mesozoic times is ascribed to reactivated downwarping in areas of much earlier, namely Mesozoic
