Palaeontology

Usually well logs are only one type of data used to establish a correlation. Any meaningful interpretation will need to be supported by palaeontological data (micro fossils) and... 

These sites cover a great age range and may be either palaeontological accumulations or archaeological living sites. Makapansgat Member 3 is the oldest at about 3Ma (MacFadden et al. 1979), while Members 1-3 at Swartkrans span a period of about 1.8 to l.OMa (Brain et al. 1988). Both have faunal material accumulated in now-collapsed karstic caverns or shelters, and... 

Thus, the next years and decades will lead to many important results from research laboratories where hypotheses and theories are forged, from geological and palaeontological institutes, and from all the scientific institutions which are working in the broad field of astrophysics.

Examples of bones, dentine and antler fragments from various archaeological (Neolithic and Palaeolithic) and even palaeontological sites are grouped in Table 2. The chemical composition and structure of all samples were investigated. The discussion of the results especially focuses on the F concentration profiles as a function of the geochemistry of the site and of the state of bone material prior to its abandon (e.g. burned bone). 

Investigations in this field of biochemistry, which could be termed as biochemical palaeontology , could lead, and have indeed led, to the detection of archaic metabolic features, which in all probability derive from primitive fife forms.

Since my work concurs at several points with the data presented in Vertes (1965) handbook, I will pay less attention to the localities of the Upper Pleistocene connected with archaeological finds and I refer the reader to the above-mentioned handbook, in which all the relevant palaeontological data are also fully included. Since the only archaeological locality older than the Upper Pleistocene is that of Vertesszolds, which Vertes treated only tangentially in his book, more attention is paid to that material here. 

Over thirty core-boring drills have been sunk in recent years, from 100 to 1550 m in depth. They have provided on the whole rich material for palaeontological study, containing vertebrate remains unique in a worldwide context, the vast majority of... 

The increasingly refined stratigraphy of freshwater limestones by means of geomorphology, absolute dating, etc., is supplemented by the following mosaic-like vertebrate palaeontological data. 

Szabadsag Hill (Csilleberc) in Budapest. Based on their mollusc fauna, they are undoubtedly from the Pliocene. A fragmentary Hipparion metatarsus and other vertebrate palaeontological finds recently discovered have also confirmed this view.

Locality no. 3 of Osztramos is situated in the southern corner of section XI of the quarry, at 340 m a.s.l. The red clay sediment deposited in a cave formed by a cleft running in a northwest to southeast direction was blasted in 1971 (Picture 7). At the time of palaeontological collections, in 1969 and 1970, the upper part of the profile, 10 m high and 5-6 m wide, was made up of yellowish sediment closed downwards by a calcite shelf, below which reddish brown sediment was found. The material was collected from 9, arbitrarily delimited (20-30 cm wide) strata. Analysis by layers has not been carried out so far (the aim of such study would be to detect differences between the layers). According to Janossy (1969b, 1970), the following faunal list is known, mainly from layers 2 and 3.
