Palaeosurfaces: Recognition, Reconstruction And... Apr 2026

: Palaeosurfaces frequently mark significant hiatuses in deposition, often representing fundamental shifts in environmental conditions or tectonic stability.

: Features such as lateritization, bauxitization, and palaeokarstification provide chemical evidence of past weathering processes acting on a surface. Palaeosurfaces: Recognition, Reconstruction and...

: High-resolution Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) can be constructed by integrating LiDAR data with geological and historical information to map past valley floors and floodplains. Palaeosurfaces: Recognition, Reconstruction and...

: Trace fossils, such as dinosaur tracks on a bedding plane , can confirm the preservation of primary palaeotopography and indicate the biological activity present at the time. Reconstruction Methods Palaeosurfaces: Recognition, Reconstruction and...

Reconstructing these ancient landscapes involves piecing together fragmented geological data to build a coherent model of the past topography:
