Coprolites of the late eocene using virtual paleontology from the Pipestone Springs Main Pocket, Montana
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
volumes and diameters for statistical comparison between the two different size classes of coprolite. In combination with volume renders of the segmented material, we also adopt more traditional methods such as thin-section petrography and scanning...
Classification of rock glaciers in southern Colorado based on ice content using radar interferometry and thermal remote sensing
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Remote sensing provides a means of assessing potential water resources stored in alpine ground ice; this study focuses on rock glaciers, in particular. A rock glacier is a landform composed of block of loose debris (talus) ...
Taxonomy, taphonomy, and ecology of Silurian (late Telychian) conulariids from the Waukesha Lagerstatte, Wisconsin
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
) borrowed from the University of Wisconsin Geology Museum, Madison, USA were examined using a combination of light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), to assist in the classification of these taxa...
Investigations of Mississippi valley-type mineralizing fluids via analytical geochemistry, numerical modeling, and experimental geochemistry
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Mississippi Valley-type (MVT) deposits represent enrichments of base metals and other elements up to 1000's of times greater than their average concentrations in the Earth's crust. These enrichments most commonly consist ...
Orogeny-modified lithosphere
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
One of the major mantle reservoirs on Earth is the continental lithospheric mantle. Our understanding of the early continental lithosphere sometimes is limited by its subsequent complex history. Continental tracts can be ...
