An inventory of geological sites based on solid and clear criteria is a first step for any geoconservation strategy. This paper describes the method used in the geoheritage inventory of the State of São Paulo, Brazil, and presents its main results. This inventory developed by the geoscientific community aimed to identify geosites with scientific value in the whole state, using a systematic approach. All 142 geo...
This work combines planktonic foraminiferal assemblages, stable isotope, transfer function estimated sea surface paleotemperatures (SST) and export productivity (Pexp) with sedimentological records from the PC7 core to document paleoclimatic and paleoceanographic changes on a distal region of the NW Iberian Margin since the last glaciation (<≈68 ka). Neodymium and strontium isotope data are also used to identif...
Dois testemunhos obtidos no Saco da Ribeira e Saco do Perequê-Mirim, locais situados na Enseada do Flamengo, foram estudados. No primeiro local foram observadas muitas carapaças de foraminíferos preenchidas por pirita. No outro local, além das carapaças preenchidas por pirita, foram notadas carapaças impregnadas com limonita e monossulfeto de ferro, as quais se relacionaram com níveis fortemente bioturbados. Es...
