The pattern of topolineaments on either side of the SMF is differentiated due to lithological contrasts: the SW side is mostly composed of crystalline or slightly metamorphosed sedimentary rocks, the NE one represents
Cainozoic sedimentary strata (Figs.
The poor definition of
Cainozoic alluvials in the geology layer, which necessitated reference to NSW soil mapping data, was another weakness.
Badura, J.: 1999, The influence of
Cainozoic tectonic movements on geomorphological development of the Niemcza-Strzelin Hills.
Palynological data show that the earliest sediments infilling the palaeochannel were deposited during the Late
Cainozoic and the top 2m are Quaternary.
In late 2002 Iraqi geologists announced an exploration programme to cover the
Cainozoic and Mesozoic, to be followed by work on older zones down to the Palaeozoic and Permian Khuff - judging by big discoveries in those horizons made in Iran, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, etc.
Early history of
Cainozoic Asteraceae along the Southern African west coast.
Cainozoic subsidence zone in the Wroclaw area is connected to the MOFZ, which has NW-SE direction.
The study area occupies the eastern margin of the Murray Basin, a major
Cainozoic depocentre.
The Beskid Niski morphostructure revealed only two distinct stages of tectonic activity in the late
Cainozoic: at the end of the Pliocene and during Early Quaternary times, as well as in the Weichselian and Holocene.
Probable and possible reserves in the
Cainozoic and Mesozoic Fms alone have been estimated at about 214 bn barrels of oil and 160 TCF of natural gas.
However, there was very little consistency in description of
Cainozoic cover in the various source datasets.
