  1. 1. Petrological, geochemical and structural evidence of fluid-rock interaction in the Siljan Ring

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för geologiska vetenskaper

    Author : William Crang; [2024]
    Keywords : methane; hydrothermal fluids; fluid-rock interaction; impact craters; reduction haloes; pyrite preservation; Siljan Ring;

    Abstract : The Siljan Ring in Dalarna, Sweden is the site of the largest meteor impact crater in Europe and has long been a topic of discussion regarding methane production. However, the source of this methane and the timing of production in relation to the impact remain unclear. READ MORE

  3. 2. Kinematic Enrolment in Four Ordovician Trilobites Using Three-Dimensional Modelling

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Paleobiologi

    Author : Alejandro Corrales Garcia; [2023]
    Keywords : 3D modelling; Blender; Dysplanus centrotus; enrolment kinematics; Gyrometopus lineatus; Illaenus sarsi; Ordovician; trilobites; Trilobiter; Enrollering; 3D-modellering; Blender; Modelos 3D; Blender; cinematica; enrollamiento; Ordovicico; trilobites;

    Abstract : Trilobites were a successful group of marine arthropods that thrived for much of the Palaeozoic Era. Akey innovation of trilobites involved the capacity to enrol their biomineralized exoskeletons for protection; a trait that appeared early in their evolutionary history during the Cambrian Period.

  4. 3. The Origins and Ecology of Early Paleozoic Spreiten Ichnofossils: Comparisons of Daedalus and Syringomorpha with Alectorurus

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Zane Goodell; [2023]
    Keywords : trace fossils; ichnology; Cambrian; Daedalus desglandi; Alectorurus circinatus; Syringomorpha nilssoni; the agronomic revolution;

    Abstract : The Cambrian explosion not only shaped the ecosystems of the Phanerozoic, but fundamentally changed how biota interacts with the environment, including the substrate. Cambrian trace fossils Alectorurus and Syringomorpha as well as Ordovician-Silurian Daedalus represent novel modes of faunal interaction with the newly innovated shallow marine mixed-ground and have surprisingly limited stratigraphic ranges.

  5. 4. Lejarfjället Garnet(?) Peridotite – Origin and Petrological Characterization of Symplectitic Aggregates in Ultramafic Rocks

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Mineralogi, petrologi och tektonik

    Author : Felicia Eriksson; [2022]
    Keywords : ultramafic; high-pressure metamorphism; peridotite; garnet breakdown; Scandinavian Caledonides; ultramafisk; högtrycks metamorfos; peridotit; granat; skandinaviska kaledoniderna;

    Abstract : Ultramafic rocks are abundant in the Earth’s mantle but rare on the surface. Since no in-situ samples from the mantle can be collected, mantle rocks provide knowledge of mechanisms operating in the mantle and large-scale processes that brought them up to the surface. READ MORE

  6. 5. 3D Geological Modelling of the Subsurface Adjacent to Cementa’s Quarry in Skövde, Sweden

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Minna Larsson; [2022]
    Keywords : 3D model; limestone; cement production; resistivity; photogrammetry; Skövde; 3D modell; kalksten; cementproduktion; resistivitet; fotogrammetri; Skövde;

    Abstract : Limestone is one of the main components of cement production. Limestone has been quarried in Skövde, Sweden, since the end of 19th century and Cementa AB has been operating the quarry since 1973. Aside from limestone, there are also Alum shale of Cambrian age, mudstones as well as bentonite layers of Ordovician age present in the quarry. READ MORE
