Geological context of the Lower Cretaceous deposits of southeast England, focussing on the Purbeck Group and Wealden Supergroup.

(A) Schematic geology of the Lower Cretaceous deposits of the Weald Sub-basin (southeast England), highlighting published spinosaurid finds (Charig & Milner, 1997; Salisbury & Naish, 2011; Turmine-Juhel et al., 2019). Based on Austen & Batten (2018: Fig. 2). Note that various additional spinosaurid teeth are known from the region but remain undescribed in detail (Fowler, 2007). (B) Simplified stratigraphic column of the Weald Group in southeast England, based on Batten & Austen (2011: Fig. 3.2). Note that the Grinstead Clay Formation, which subdivides the Tunbridge Wells Sands Formation in Batten & Austen (2011) and from which the “Suchosaurus cultridens” type specimen was discovered (Salisbury & Naish, 2011), is downgraded to a member of the latter formation in other works (Hopson, Wilkinson & Woods, 2008) and has not been included in this column.

Coelophysis bauri (Cope, 1887) theropod dinosaur from the Triassic of New Mexico, USA.
This is a remarkable complete skeleton of the small early theropod Coelophysis.  It comes from a nearly monospecific concentration of numerous complete to disarticulated skeletons in reddish-colored fluvial siltstones, often called a "Coelophysis graveyard".  This occurrence has been interpreted as a carcass-jammed channel filling following mass mortality of dinosaurs by regional drought (see Schwartz & Gillette, 1994).

Theropod were small to large, bipedal dinosaurs.  Almost all known members of the group were carnivorous (predators and/or scavengers).  They represent the ancestral group to the birds, and some theropods are known to have had feathers.  Some of the most well known dinosaurs to the general public are theropods, such as Tyrannosaurus, Allosaurus, and Spinosaurus.

Des fontaines de lave géantes filmées en direct : ce volcan hawaïen en est déjà à 50 épisodes éruptifs en 18 mois !
États-Unis géologie volcanisme
Depuis le début de cette éruption, le 23 décembre 2024, l’activité est épisodique : des pauses de une à trois semaines séparent des phases d’activité soutenue de quelques heures à l’intérieur de la caldeira sommitale du volcan. Cinquante épisodes se sont ainsi succédé en une année et demie,...

Un énorme astéroïde s'est écrasé dans la mer du Nord et a déclenché un tsunami de 330 pieds
Éocène géologie
Les scientifiques ont enfin confirmé l'origine du mystérieux cratère Silverpit sous la mer du Nord. De nouvelles preuves montrent qu’un astéroïde d’environ 160 mètres de large a heurté le fond marin il y a environ 43 à 46 millions d’années. L'impact a déclenché un tsunami de plus de 100 mètres de haut et a laissé derrière lui un cratère dont les géologues ont débattu pendant des années.

Hadéen géologie
Il y a plus de 4 milliards d’années, la Terre subissait un bombardement intense d’astéroïdes. Longtemps considérées comme de simples agents de destruction, ces collisions pourraient pourtant avoir joué un rôle inattendu en créant des environnements favorables à l’émergence de la vie.

Le Continent blanc n'a été découvert qu'au début du XIXe siècle. Des hommes n'explorent donc l'Antarctique que depuis deux siècles et ses nombreux secrets ne sont pas encore percés. Mais les moyens de détection modernes nous aident dans ce but, comme le montre une découverte récente qui a des...

Combien de temps un volcan peut-il rester endormi avant de se réveiller ? L’étude d’un volcan grec montre que même plus de 100 000 ans de silence ne suffisent pas forcément à le déclarer éteint.
