This field guide includes the marine and brackish-water
species of bony fishes, sharks, batoid fishes, lobsters,
shrimps, crabs and cephalopods believed to be of interest
to fisheries in Pakistan. Each major resources group is
introduced by a general section on technical terms, followed by an annotated and illustrated list of the more
important species which includes FAO names, local names
commonly used (Sindhi, Baluchi and English), maximum
size, habitat, fishing gear and interest to fisheries. A
composite index of scientific and vernacular family and
species names is also provided.

This field trip covers sedimentological and paleontological research being conducted on the Jurassic Aztec Sandstone and Lower Cretaceous Willow Tank Formation in Valley of Fire State Park. Valley of Fire State Park is located in southern Nevada, just outside of the town of Overton. The Jurassic Aztec Sandstone is equivalent to the Navajo and Nugget Sandstones; these formations together record an aerially large erg complex along the western margin of North America during the time of deposition. Invertebrate and ...

The Ingalls Ophiolite Complex is a suprasubduction-zone ophiolite formed largely in a fracture-zone setting. Mantle tectonites are cut by a large, high-T shear zone overprinted by sheared serpentinite. Mafi c complexes of ca. 161 Ma gabbro, sheeted dikes, and pillow lava occur as large blocks in the sheared serpentinite. An overlying Late Jurassic argillite unit contains minor chert, graywacke, and pebble conglomerate, along with lenses of ophiolite breccias. Detrital serpentinite forms some of these breccias, and mafi c blocks in other breccias range up to hundreds of meters in diameter. Older basement is locally present in the ophiolite complex, including (1) phyllite, metachert, and pillow basalt of the undated De Roux unit overlain by (2) Early Jurassic pillow lava, basalt breccia, and minor chert and oolitic limestone of the Iron Mountain unit (fossil seamount). This older basement indicates that at least part of the ophiolite is polygenetic. The presence of a high-T mantle she...

The Bridger Formation is located in the Green River basin in southwest Wyoming, and the Uinta and Duchesne River formations are located in the Uinta basin in Utah. These three rock units and their diverse fossil assemblages have great scientific importance and are also of historic interest to vertebrate paleontologists. Notably, they are also the stratotypes for the three middle Eocene North American Land Mammal “Ages,” the Bridgerian, Uintan, and Duchesnean, from oldest to youngest. The fossils and sediments ...
