Unconformities are massive gaps in the geologic record, where ancient rocks directly underlie much younger strata—indicating that significant erosion events occurred in between, wiping away all ...

In a new paper, Jordan Jensen and Alexis Ault introduce a new forensic tool designed to enhance our understanding of how unconformities form. Iron oxide minerals are found in rocks around the world.

Science & Technology Time Will Tell: USU Geoscientists Develop Tool to Chronicle Unexplained Gaps in the Rock Record In the journal Geology, Presidential Doctoral Research Fellow Jordan Jensen and ...

Unconformities occur when a sustained period of erosion removes and prevents newer layers of rock from forming, leaving an unconformable contact. Our results support that a Great Unconformity near ...

We discuss two 50-70 km profiles of unconformities, bedding sequences, and englacial folding recorded to the icebed with 3.2 MHz radar in East Antarctica. The unconformities result from localized ...

Orbea has released the new 2024 Occam platform with two different versions. Option one is the lighter, leaner Occam SL with fast trail geometry and efficient suspension, which brings control, flow and ...

The characterization of unconformities in wind-scoured areas of the Antarctic ice sheet (AIS) is important for the accurate estimation of Antarctic mass balance and can provide constraints on climate ...

Unconformities are relatively common, but every now and then a big one is found that takes some explaining. The Great Unconformity ...

Some scientists think the Great Unconformity was caused by Snowball Earth’s glaciations. Recent work suggests these phenomena might not be related.
