(Table 4) Radiocarbon age of carbonate nodules from the Gulf of California at Station DM9-666

New data on phosphorites collected by dredging and trawling at depths from 2700 to 520 m in the open Atlantic Ocean (i.e. outside of the shelf and the continental slope) are reported. Aphanitic, granular, brecciated, and conglomerate-like types are distinguished among the phosphorites. A comparison of the studied phosphorites with ones from the Atlantic shelf of Africa and from seamounts of other oceans is made.

Procesado e industrialización hortofrutícola en California

Este artículo viene a complementar el presentado por los mismos autores en el n° 56 (1.12.97) de Vida Rural sobre la mecanización de las explotaciones hortofrutícolas en California. Con él se completa una visión global de la hortofruticultura en este Estado americano.
