Chemical and elementary characterization of Spongiophyton nanum: Understanding the phylogeny, paleoenvironment, and fossilization processes of an enigmatic flora
The record of thalloid macrofossils in the North-Northwest region of the Paraná Basin is less studied compared to that of invertebrate paleofauna in the same area. Consequently, the lack of important information regarding the niches occupied by thalloid embryophytes during early land colonization in this coastal paleoenvironment is evident.
Dawn of diverse shelled and carbonaceous animal microfossils at ~ 571 Ma
The Ediacaran-Cambrian transition documents a critical stage in the diversification of animals. The global fossil record documents the appearance of cloudinomorphs and other shelled tubular organisms followed by non-biomineralized small carbonaceous fossils and by the highly diversified small shelly fossils between ~ 550 and 530 Ma.
Depth-variant pore type modeling in a pre-salt carbonate field offshore Brazil
Brazilian pre-salt carbonates encompass more than 70% of the total oil and gas produced in the country nowadays and yet, present several challenges such as heterogeneous composition in mineralogy with the presence of Mg-clays, a complex pore network and diagenetic processes, e.g., dolomitization, silicification and cementation. Rock physics provides a powerful route to understand the elastic behavior of rocks by connecting geology and geophysics. It is known that pore type determination is crucial to understand this behavior.
Distribution of gamma-ray elements in Cerro do Jarau impact structure and a proposal of geothermal modeling
Large meteorite impacts release kinetic energy that induces rock deformation, high temperatures and fluid circulation during the cratering process. To understand the correlation between rock deformation and fluid circulation, it is relevant to investigate
post-impact hydrothermal flux and its relation to the local geology. The Cerro do Jarau impact structure is a ~13.5 km diameter impact structure located in southern Brazil and formed on Cretaceous continental flood basalts of the Serra Geral Formation and
Docente do IG recebe homenagem da Universidad Nacional de Trujillo (Peru)
O professor Alessandro Batezelli, do Departamento de Geologia e Recursos Naturais, recebeu uma homenagem da Universidad Nacional de Trujillo por sua participação no “Ciclo de Conferencias en Paleontologia – Reconstruyendo la historia de la vida en la Tierra”, que ocorreu entre 25 e 27 de junho.
Batezelli ministrou um curso sobre Sedimentologia e Paleontologia para mais de 150 alunos de graduação e de pós-graduação. O curso faz parte do projeto Temático da FAPESP "Exploring the diversity of South American Cretaceous dinosaurs and associated fauna".
