The south-eastern margin of the Glen Tilt complex consists of a long strip of diorites with a number of small associated patches of rocks of appinitic type. Xenoliths, both of hornblendite and hornblendeschist, the latter belonging to the Perthshire series of the Dalradian, are found enclosed within the dioritic rocks, which range petrographically from diorite to quartz-mica-diorite. In all these rocks hornblende is the most important fcrromagnesian constituent always predominating over pyroxene in the basic members and frequently persisting to the exclusion of biotite in the intermediate rocks of the intrusion. The hornblendes were examined chemically because of the difficulty of estimating their composition even from a thorough optical investigation. As they play such an important role in the complex it is considered that they may give some indication of the history and mode of formation of the rocks in which they occur. Such a chemical investigation of a series of related hornblendes will also indicate the possible range of composition of common amphiboles within the diorites and related rocks of a single complex.

AbstractThe western Andean belt of Argentina displays a comprehensive record of the Carboniferous and earliest Permian rocks so extensive that it allows an exceptional reconstruction of the Late Palaeozoic Ice Age of the southwestern margin of the South American Gondwana area. Severe endemism of the Gondwana biota during this period makes it difficult to achieve a precise correlation of these glacially influenced deposits with the coeval sequences of the Palaeoequatorial belt, where the subdivisions of the International Chronostratigraphic Chart are currently defined. The abundant paleontological record available from the Upper Palaeozoic deposits of central-western Argentina, central Patagonia, and eastern Argentina, makes it possible to recognize five successive faunal stages that allow a proper ordering of the sequences of this period. The proposed regional stages, and their assumed chronologic position regarding the standards of the current International Chronostratigraphic Chart, are: the Malimanian (late Tournaisian), Barrealian (Mid-Carboniferous or Serpukhovian-Bashkirian), Aguanegrian (Upper Pennsylvanian), Uspallatian (Asselian-Tastubian?) and Bonetian (Sakmarian). This paper aims to reiterate former recommendations about the convenience of having regional reference units and suggests the consideration of the available faunal stages as possible chronostratigraphic subdivisions for the Carboniferous-early Permian of the south-eastern margin of Gondwana.

In the following paper ninety-eight rocks collected by Mr F. W. Anderson from the Tertiary lavas and intrusions on the south-eastern margin of the Vatnajökull, and from the Pleistocene and Recent lavas, tuffs and sediments of Kverkfjöll Eystri on the northern margin of the ice-sheet, are described. Interest in the geology of the Vatnajökull region has been revived by several recent expeditions.The existence of active volcanoes under the Vatnajökull, and the eruptions that occasionally break through the ice-sheet, offer unexampled opportunities for the investigation of the peculiar igneous and sedimentary products which are the results of the contest between ice and volcanism, and for the solution of the “Palagonite Problem”, with which several authors have recently dealt.

The Bronze Age

AbstractThe article considers cremation graves from the site of Podsmreka near Višnja Gora (Slovenia). Based on the analysis of their pottery, it could be shown that the graves can be dated to the Middle Bronze Age period (Br B2/C1) and thus represent one of the oldest cremation burials of the Bronze Age in Slovenia. First, the ceramic finds from the radiocarbon dated settlement contexts are discussed in order to reach a more exact chronological framework for the vessel forms from graves. A synthesis of all Middle Bronze Age graves, both inhumations and cremations, from central and eastern Slovenia allows us to get a better understanding of when the change in burial practices occurred. Surprisingly, the best analogies for the vessels from graves at Podsmreka near Višnja Gora can be found in the northern Carpathian Basin, where we observe a long-standing tradition of cremation burials. The analysis of radiocarbon samples from two graves from Šafárikovo in Slovakia allowed us to verify the absolute chronology of urn amphorae vessels with particular form and decoration, which we can date between the second half of the 16th and the first half of the 15th century BC. Such astonishing correspondences in the pottery between the northern Carpathian Basin and the south-eastern Alpine region seem to indicate that the very area of the Upper Tisza river, and the territory of the Piliny Culture, played a crucial role in the transmission of new burial practices, not only to Slovenia, but also across wider areas along the Sava and Drava rivers on the distribution area of the Virovitica group.
