Staggered extinctions of terrestrial, marine and flying reptiles, and of invertebrate plankton feeders, accompanied by a decrease in worldwide aridity at the end of the Cretaceous, may be explained by periodic bursts of increased ultraviolet radiation, possibly the result of a long-term breakdown of the ozone layer. Includes ca. 130 references. University of Windsor. Windsor, Ontario N9B 3P4, Canada. (dine) 79:6002 Speed, R. C., L. C. Gerhard and E. H. McKee, 1979. Ages of deposition, deformation, and intrusion of Cretaceous rocks, eastern St. Croix, Virgin Islands. Bull. geol. Soc. Am.. (i)90(7): 629-632. St. Croix is the only exposure of the St. Croix platform above sea level, and is underlain by Late Cretaceous rocks that may have been deformed and intruded during events affecting the Greater Antilles between 64 m.v. and 74 m.v.

Okeanologiia, 19(2): 272-279. Strontium and barium concentrations are measured in phosphorites from shelves off Africa, Chile and Peru: from Pacific seamounts and in ocean bottom bone samples. Variation of Sr and Ba concentrations as a function of lithification, Sr/P20~ values for the different locations, and genesis of phosphorites from seamounts are discussed. (rio)

palladium and iridium in deep-sea sediments. Geochim. cosmochim. Acta, 43(6): 831-842. Noble metal concentrations are determined in four Caribbean and Pacific-Antarctic Basin deep-sea cores which include siliceous and calcareous oozes and pelagic clays. The primary goal is to test the relative importance of biogenic and lithogenic processes in the budgets of these metals. Alternative sources and sinks are briefly considered.

Letts, 43(2): 336-342. Microtektites in piston cores from the Atlantic Ocean are part of the Ivory Coast (IVC) tektite strewnfield which covers an area of about 4.5 million square kilometers. The IVC microtektite layer is found near the base of the Jaramillo geomagnetic event, and may be associated with it. Department of Geology, University of Delaware, Newark, Del. 1971 I. U.S.A.

Distinct mineralogical differences occur between Quaternary sediments from the Egyptian shelf-Nile Cone region and the southern part of the Mediterranean Ridge, and indicate a more complicated provenance dispersal than previously thought.

Artificial lowering of the beach watertable appears to promote sand accretion on the beach face and may prove useful for shore-zone management on coastlines where conservation of sand above the surf zone is a problem.
