Biogeochemical analysis of late cretaceous vertebrate fossils of western Alabama, USA

Harrell, Terry Lynn (University of Alabama Libraries, 2016)

In the past, vertebrate paleontologists in Alabama focused primarily on classical methods of investigation, for example, by examining the gross anatomy of fossilized skeletal elements. More recently, new methods were ...
Biomineralization of giant clam shells (tridacna gigas): implications for paleoclimate applications

Gannon, Michelle E. (University of Alabama Libraries, 2016)

The giant clam, Tridacna gigas, is an important faunal component of Indo-Pacific reef ecosystems, for which its shell is often used as an environmental archive for modern and past climates. This thesis is a study of the ...
Biostratigraphy, paleogeography, and paleoenvironments of the Upper Cretaceous (Campanian) northern Mississippi Embayment

Ebersole, Sandy (University of Alabama Libraries, 2010)

Most paleogeographic and paleoenvironmental reconstructions of the northern Mississippi Embayment during the Late Campanian (Late Cretaceous) illustrate a generalized gulf between central Mississippi and Arkansas stretching ...
New evidence for complex mosasaur paleobiology: oxygen isotopes in enamel reveal habitat variation of clidastes from the Mooreville Chalk, Alabama

Travis Taylor, Leah Marie (University of Alabama Libraries, 2019)

The Late Cretaceous Mississippi Embayment includes some of the most complete, well-preserved mosasaur specimens in the world. Here I investigate the paleobiology of these extinct swimming lizards through schlerochronological ...
Past responses to climate change: reconstruction of vegetation histories in three brackish marshes

Cripps, Rebecca Marie (University of Alabama Libraries, 2009)

Long-term persistence of coastal wetlands depends on maintenance of surface elevations relative to sea-level rise also in the presence of other natural and anthropogenic stressors. To predict coastal marsh response to ...
Seasonality across the cretaceous-paleogene boundary: a high-resolution ontogenetic study of the Antarctic bivalve, lahillia larseni

Mohr, Rachel C. (University of Alabama Libraries, 2018)

High-resolution ontogenetic stable isotope (δ18O and δ13C) analysis of accretionary carbonate bivalve shells can provide subannual records of their environments. These records present an opportunity to better understand ...
Stromatoporoids and the Upper Devonian Alamo Impact Breccia of southeastern Nevada

Aul, Jeffrey L. (University of Alabama Libraries, 2010)

Eleven species in 10 genera of stromatoporoids were identified from within and below the Alamo Breccia of southeastern Nevada, in an effort to determine the excavation depth of a bolide impact that occurred during the Late ...
