paleoflor Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 L.S., As you can probably tell from the title of this topic, I am looking for information on the lithostratigraphy of the Mesozoic of Madagascar. Specifically, I would like to have an up-to-date overview of the terrestrial formations that occur on the island. Can anyone recommend me a good resource, say a recent review paper? Based on bits and bobs I read in more recent papers, it appears that the stratigraphy book I have now (Besairie and Collignon 1971, Géologie de Madagascar: Las terrains sédimentaires) is somewhat outdated... Thanks for your help! Tim Searching for green in the dark grey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranha Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 This one looks good: Coffin, M.F., & Rabinowitz, P.D.1988 Evolution of the conjugate East African-Madagascan margins and the western Somali Basin. Geological Society of America Special Paper, 226:1-78 PDF LINK Google Scholar is another good tool for searching. There are 316 publications that cited Besairie & Collignon 1971 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxytropidoceras Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 I agree, searching for “mesozoic,” “stratigraphy,” and “Madagascar” using Google Scholar ( https://scholar.google.com/) is a good way to start. In addition to the bibliographic information, Google Scholar will often indicate where a person can find a copy of the PDF file that can be downloaded for free. Also, it often profitable to search Researchgate ( https://www.researchgate.net/ ) and Google Advance search using either "https://www.academia.edu" or " https://www.researchgate.net/ " in the "site or domain" space at https://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en . With Google Advanced, what a person searches for also can be filtered for PDF files using the "file type" menu. Yours, Paul H. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
