2 unusual facts about Quaternary


Cerithium madreporicola

The true Cerithium madreporicola is a fossil species known only from raised Quaternary reefs in the Red Sea.

Turritella communis

Fossil and subfossil shells of Turritella communis have been found in interglacial strata in the North Sea, from the Late Pliocene to the Quaternary Period.


Alkaline copper quaternary

Alkaline Copper Quaternary (also known as ACQ) is a water based wood preservative method recently introduced in countries where there is a demand for alternatives to CCA.

Bouri Formation

The peninsula is about 4 km wide and 10 km in length and lies in a NNW-SSE direction in the Quaternary period rift zone of the southern Afar Region.

Chorey-les-Beaune

The soils are composed mostly of quaternary detrital and alluvial fills, and the wines tend to be thinner and less complex than those grown on the Jurassic limestone, gravels, and marls of the slopes from which the better quality wines of the Côte d'Or come.

Cotati, California

The soils of the Cotati area are characterized by recent alluvial materials, explicitly those areas bordering the Laguna de Santa Rosa and its tributary Washoe Creek.

Fedaiella

Fossils of Fedaiella are found in the marine strata of the Quaternary of Japan, Paleocene of Poland and Triassic of Italy.

Francisco Moreno

He believed one was from the Quaternary period, and the other had ritual deformation in a manner similar to the skulls of the Aymara people of the Andes and Altiplano.

Geology of Andorra

Andorra was extensively glaciated during the Quaternary; glaciers flowed down all of the major valleys of Andorra, merging into one large glacier at Escaldes-Engordany, which in the coldest stage reached as far south as Pont de la Fontaneda near Santa Coloma.

Giant current ripples

He also showed that the Quaternary ice-dammed lake of Tuzhar Village discovered by him outburst into the valley of the Chulyshman River after having reached its critical level.

Gibbard

Halotolerance

Amino Acids such as proline accumulate in halophytic Brassica species, quaternary ammonium bases such as Glycine Betaine and sugars have been shown to act in this role within halophytic members of Chenopodiaceae and members of Asteraceae show the build up of cyclites and soluble sugars.

Hyperparathyroidism

Quaternary and quintary are rare conditions that may be observed after surgical removal of primary hyperparathyroidism, when it has led to renal damage that now again causes a form of secondary (quaternary) hyperparathyroidism that may itself result in autonomy (quintary) hyperparathyroidism.

Kingsajz

The action takes place in contemporary Poland (late communistic period) and in a fictional Lilliputian kingdom called Szuflandia (Drawerland), hidden deep in the undergrounds of the Quaternary Research Institute.

Mount Cameroon

The massive steep-sided volcano of dominantly basaltic-to-trachybasaltic composition forms a volcanic horst constructed above a basement of Precambrian metamorphic rocks covered with Cretaceous to Quaternary sediments.

Music to Crash Your Car to: Vol. 2

It collects the albums Dr. Feelgood and Mötley Crüe, the EP Quaternary (currently out of print), and the compilations Decade of Decadence (currently out of print) and Supersonic and Demonic Relics.

N-ary code

A prefix that indicates an integer, e.g., "bin", "tern," or "quatern", may be used in lieu of a numeral, to produce "binary", "ternary", or "quaternary" (2, 3, and 4 states respectively).

Paleomagnetism

Motonori Matuyama showed that the Earth's magnetic field reversed in the mid-Quaternary, a reversal now known as the Brunhes-Matuyama reversal.

Richard Gilbert West

As a research student, he was supervised by Harry Godwin, Director of the Subdepartment of Quaternary Research and investigated the now classic study of the stratigraphy and palynology of the Middle Pleistocene interglacial lake deposits at Hoxne, Suffolk.

San Gabriel Fault

The San Gabriel Fault is a right-lateral strike-slip that was last active 1,000s of years ago — Late Quaternary west of intersection with the Sierra Madre fault, and Quaternary east of that intersection, and Holocene only further west between Saugus and Castaic-Gorman.
