Life and Death of a Cretaceous Carbonate Platform

Synopsis: Starting with the record of global marine transgression in the Cretaceous sedimentary succession of the English Chiltern Hills, this ‘virtual field trip’ then moves to the Istrian peninsula of Croatia, to investigate the vast carbonate platform that developed there during that time. It illustrates some of the characteristic biota that generated the platform sediments, and analyses the resulting deposits in terms of sequence stratigraphy. We thus see how the biological carbonate factory and the factors that controlled accommodation space interacted to produce the succession that we see exposed today.

Notes: NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
