The Black Hills granites were exposed to erosion during the late Precambrian, but were buried by sandstones and other sediments during the Cambrian Period.

During several million years of the lake's existence, sediments were collecting at the bottom in the form of saline muds, gravels from nearby mountains, and ashfalls from the then-active Black Mountain volcanic field.

The research vent-hole in Jelševnik near Črnomelj, where quality checks of water and sediments are performed regularly, and where activities of Black Proteus are registered with an Infrared | IR camera.

Black Mangrove ( Bruguiera gymnorrhiza ) is the second most pervasive species and is generally found around the rivers where sediments are deposited along the shoreline.

Glauconite forms under reducing conditions in sediments and such deposits are commonly found in nearshore sands, open oceans and the Mediterranean Sea, but not in the Black Sea or in fresh-water lakes.

Erosional gully in unconsolidated Dead Sea sediments exposed by recession.

Erosional gully in unconsolidated Dead Sea ( Israel ) sediments along the southwestern shore.

Salt water provides for greater organic activity than freshwater, and in particular, the shipworm, terredo navalis, lives only in salt water, so some of the best preservation in the absence of sediments has been found in the cold, dark waters of the Great Lakes in North America and in the ( low salinity ) Baltic Sea ( where the Vasa was preserved ).

Relics of the city were being found in the Wadden Sea until the late 20th century, but shifting sediments have carried the last of these into the sea.

Three species of Loricifera have been found in the sediments at the bottom of the L ' Atalante basin in Mediterranean Sea, more than 3, 000 meters down, the first multicellular organisms known to spend their entire lives in an oxygen-free environment.

The White Sea fossils and the surrounding sediments also show that Kimberella lived on the surface of the sea-floor.

The annual outflow to the Azov Sea is about 12 – 13 km < sup > 3 </ sup > of water, 8 million tonnes of sediments and 4 million tonnes of dissolved salts.

Like many similar marine deposits, the sediments, which accumulated within the Champlain Sea lack the physical characteristics ; i. e. sedimentary structures, interlayering, and textures, that characterize sediments deposited by a mega-tsunami.

In case of the Champlain Sea, its sediments started to accumulate around 13, 000 BP, almost 3, 400 years before the oldest of the hypothesized Holocene bolide impacts.

Sea life was abundant and a large number of marine fossils including corals, bryozoans, brachiopods, clams, snails, cephalopods, and trilobites can be found in the limestone and shale sediments at several areas in the Twin Cities and along the Mississippi River in the park and elsewhere.

The Vigan-Bantay Plain is bounded on the east by a moderately rugged Miocene sediments consisting of interbedded sandstones and shale to very rugged Meta-volcanics and Meta sediment topography ; on the south is the Municipality of Santa where the north-south trending fault terminates ; to the west is the South China Sea ; while the northern boundary opens to the northern extension of the Ilocos coastal plain.

The Pannonian Sea existed during the Miocene and Pliocene epochs, when three to four kilometres of marine sediments were deposited in the Pannonian Basin.

Complete skeletons are known from sediments of the Western Inland Sea of the Cretaceous of Kansas, South Dakota and Wyoming.

To this drift, the uplift of the Vindhyan sediments and the deposition of northern peripheral sediments in the Himalayan Sea, can be attributed.

Rifting typically causes uplift of its margins, or ' rift shoulders ', and the covering sediments were removed by erosion as the Red Sea widened, allowing us to examine the basement geology of this region.

Unconformities in general tend to reflect long-term patterns of sediments or igneous flows collecting in low-lying areas ( often ocean basins, such as the Gulf of Mexico or the North Sea, but also Bangladesh and much of Brazil ), then being uplifted and eroded ( such as the on-going Himalayan orogeny, the older Laramide orogeny of the Rocky Mountains, or much older Appalachian ( Alleghanian ) and Ouachita orogenies ), then subsequently subsiding, eventually to be buried under younger sediments.

Weddellite ( CaC < sub > 2 </ sub > O < sub > 4 </ sub >· 2H < sub > 2 </ sub > O ) is a mineral form of calcium oxalate named for occurrences of millimeter-sized crystals found in bottom sediments of the Weddell Sea, off Antarctica.

By about 12 million years ago in the Miocene, the Eridanos had reached the North Sea area where sediments carried by the river built an immense delta.

Remnants of the Eridanos are found all through northern Europe, from the current North Sea and the Netherlands at its western end to sediments in northern Lapland.

Some of the stumps are as much as three feet long, but most of them have been flattened by the pressure of the overlying sediments.

A measure of the total mass accretion of meteoritic material by the Earth is obtained from analyses of deep-sea sediments and dust collected in remote regions ( Pettersson, 1960 ).

The most productive portion of arable land is that from sediments left by rivers and the sea in geological times.

The saltwater plesiosaur Leurospondylus has been found in marine sediments in the Horseshoe Canyon, while freshwater environments were populated by turtles, Champsosaurus, and crocodilians like Leidyosuchus and Stangerochampsa.

A small fraction of the organic carbon transported by the biological pump to the seafloor is buried in anoxic conditions under sediments and ultimately forms fossil fuels such as oil and natural gas.

The desert's Jilf al Kabir Plateau, at a mean altitude of some 1000 m, constitutes an exception to the uninterrupted territory of basement rocks covered by layers of horizontally bedded sediments forming a massive plain or low plateau.

Based on studies of now-rare ( but living ) stromatolites ( specifically, certain blue-green bacteria ), the growth of fossil stromatolitic structures was biogenetically mediated by mats of microorganisms through their entrapment of sediments.

This cross-section shows metamorphic rocks, overlain by younger sediments deposited after the metamorphic event.

The whale feeds mainly on benthic crustaceans, which it eats by turning on its side ( usually the right, resulting in loss of eyesight in the right eye for many older animals ) and scooping up sediments from the sea floor.

North of 50 ° south latitude, 86 % of the main basin is covered by pelagic sediments, of which more than half is globigerina ooze.

The southeast corner of the country is underlain by sediments of the Karoo System of Permian to Late Triassic age and a strip of Jurassic age sediments along the coast in the Mombasa area.

The sediments were carried from north to south by the Mississippi River.

Furthermore, they act as buffering systems whereby they reduce coastal erosion, and improve water quality for in situ animals by processing material and ‘ filtering ’ sediments.

Thus the Mary Rose was subject to salvage from the sixteenth century and later, but a very large amount of material, buried in the sediments, remained to be found by maritime archaeologists of the twentieth century.

The valley of Neva is formed by glacial and post-glacial sediments and it did not change much over the past 2500 years.

The delta of Neva was formed at that time, which is actually pseudodelta, as it was formed not by accumulation of river material but by plunging into the past sediments.

Since uplift and erosion are more or less in equilibrium in the Himalaya, rapid uplift is balanced by annual increments of cubic kilometers of sediments washing down from the mountains, then on the plains settling out of suspension on vast alluvial fans or inland deltas over which rivers meander and change course at least every few decades, causing some experts to question whether manmade embankments can contain the problem of flooding.

Biogenic gas is created by methanogenic organisms in marshes, bogs, landfills, and shallow sediments.

If water-saturated zones still exist in sediments under the volcano, they would likely have been kept warm by a high geothermal gradient and residual heat from the volcano's magma chamber.

** Sandur ( plural sandar ), a glacial out-wash plain formed of sediments deposited by melt-water at the terminus of a glacier.

It was introduced by Jules Desnoyers in 1829 for sediments of France's Seine Basin that seemed clearly to be younger than Tertiary Period rocks.

The metamorphic rock surface was created by the transformation of ancient sediments under intense heat and pressure during mountain-building processes.
