Publisher Summary It is the geoscience of coals, that is, their geochemistry of origin and
postburial geological history, that suggests that coals are a very diverse set of materials. This …

A series of recent peat samples from tropical, sub-tropical and temperate locations were
investigated using coal petrographical and organic geochemical techniques. Maceral and …

A Pliocene lignite seam up to 160 m thick occurs in the Velenje basin (Slovenia). The seam
originated in a topogenous mire and evolved within a non-marine, transgressive setting …

Mass spectrometry plays a crucial role in the structure elucidation of new sterols, notably
those of marine origin. Secure interpretation of the mass spectra requires an adequate …

This article provides a general introduction to acid sulfate soil materials including those in
Muthurajawela, a marsh of high ecological significance on the western coast of Sri Lanka …

In the Oberdorf trough at the northwestern margin of the Styrian Basin (Austria), an up to 36-
m thick Lower Miocene (Ottnangian) lignite seam occurs within the fluvial Köflach–Voitsberg …

Two peat cores, from the margin and centre of a tropical raised bog from the Sebangau
River near Palangkaraya in Kalimantan, Indonesia, were investigated to illustrate the …

During the Miocene numerous sedimentary basins formed on the territory of Bulgaria as a
result of the extensional tectonic settings related to the post-orogenic development of the …

Petrographical and geochemical data of gelified and ungelified fossil wood from the Early
Miocene Oberdorf lignite seam (Styrian Basin, Austria) provide evidence that the early …

The geochemistry of Au and Pt in the Muthurajawela peat deposit—the largest in Sri Lanka—
has been studied together with the Au and Pt contents of algal mats from the tidal flats of …
