Re: paleonet Looking for a clay mineralogist sedimentologist

Hi Judith,

"Hi Xavier,

I am interested in your coprolite project."

The thin sections show some vegetable. spores but not a lot really!

"What are you doing?"

Trying to reconstruct the palaeoenvironment in each of the cases...Including 
the mineralogy so we can tell a lot about the diagenesis

"From  what sites/ages do your coprolites come?"

Urumaco and Catalunya Miocene and Eocene mostly

"Do you know what animals  made them?"

Not yet...

"Are there any fossilized food items or are they all  mineral?"

"Have you published anything on them? "

Not yet

"Sorry, I don't know any clay mineralogists. Just get somebody to run  some 
XRF tests on them. Then you will at least know what mineral(s)  you are 
dealing with."

I have an american in France already looking at the minerals and microfossil 
using that method!

"Thanks,

Judith

Hi Xavier,

I am interested in your coprolite project. What are you doing? From  what 
sites/ages do your coprolites come? Do you know what animals  made them? Are 
there any fossilized food items or are they all  mineral? Have you published 
anything on them?

Sorry, I don't know any clay mineralogists. Just get somebody to run  some 
XRF tests on them. Then you will at least know what mineral(s)  you are 
dealing with.

Thanks,

Judith
