detritalPy: A Python‐based toolset for visualizing and analysing detrital geo‐thermochronologic data

Glenn R. Sharman, Jonathan P. Sharman, Zoltán Sylvester · 11 Jun 2018

Abstract Detrital geochronology and thermochronology have emerged as primary methods of reconstructing the tectonic and surficial evolution of the Earth over geological time. Technological improvements in the acquisition of detrital geo‐thermochronologic data have resulted in a rapid increase in the quantity of published data over the past two decades, particularly for the mineral zircon. However,…

Intercontinental correlation of organic carbon and carbonate stable isotope records: evidence of climate and sea‐level change during the Turonian (Cretaceous)

Ian Jarvis, João Trabucho‐Alexandre, Darren R. Gröcke et al. · 1 Dec 2015

Abstract Carbon (δ 13 C org , δ 13 C carb ) and oxygen (δ 18 O carb ) isotope records are presented for an expanded Upper Cretaceous (Turonian–Coniacian) hemipelagic succession cored in the central Bohemian Cretaceous Basin, Czech Republic. Geophysical logs, biostratigraphy and stable carbon isotope chemostratigraphy provide a high‐resolution stratigraphic framework. The δ…

On the delimitation of the carbonate burial realm

Adrian Immenhauser · 14 Nov 2021

Abstract Over the past decades, the burial realm, the most prolonged and arguably the least well‐understood diagenetic environment, has received significant research attention. Despite remarkable progress driven by exploratory drilling, outcrop analogue studies and experimental work, the scientific theories defining the burial sub‐domains are inconsistently presented in the literature. This paper reviews the concepts, processes…

Hiatuses and condensation: an estimation of time lost on a shallow carbonate platform

André Strasser · 1 Dec 2015

Abstract On shallow carbonate platforms, the sedimentary record is highly fragmentary because low accommodation commonly leads to non‐deposition, erosion, reworking and condensation. Consequently, it is difficult to quantify the time that is actually recorded and to estimate sedimentation rates. The Berriasian platform in the Swiss and French Jura Mountains offers an opportunity to address this…

Constraints on barium isotope fractionation during aragonite precipitation by corals

Chloé Pretet, Kirsten van Zuilen, Thomas F. Nägler et al. · 1 Dec 2015

Abstract We present a barium (Ba) isotope fractionation study of marine biogenic carbonates (aragonitic corals). The major aim is to provide first constraints on the Ba isotope fractionation between modern surface seawater and coral skeleton. Mediterranean surface seawater was found to be enriched in the heavy Ba isotopes compared to previously reported values for marine…

The Depositional Record template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the The Depositional Record format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the The Depositional Record template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Wiley format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does The Depositional Record use?
The Depositional Record uses Author–year (Chicago) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, Ada, Ben Jones, and Cara Lee. 2023. "A Representative Article Title." The Depositional Record 12 (3): 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to The Depositional Record?
No. DocuGuru generates the USG LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Wiley-ready The Depositional Record document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the The Depositional Record template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the The Depositional Record format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes The Depositional Record?
The Depositional Record is a multidisciplinary journal published by Wiley. DocuGuru's The Depositional Record template matches Wiley's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready The Depositional Record PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official The Depositional Record template (the USG class) that is ready to submit to Wiley, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the The Depositional Record template cost?
You can start writing in the The Depositional Record template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready The Depositional Record PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
