Fossil Plants are valuable indicators of physical and climate conditions ,under which they existed.Bees gave evidence of successive waves of forest with different genera of trees.The analysis of pollen has been employed to cover whole paleobotony research .The pollen grain "exine" is resistant and it may have long geological life,once it is deposited into sediments.But only if grain avoid mechanical strength and chemical changes such as oxidation.The fossil pollen record begins from devonian time .Pollen fossils of "primitive Gymnosperms" were dominant in Devonian and Jurassic period.

What State of oxides of germanium?

Germanium oxide can exist in different oxidation states: GeO, GeO2, and GeO3. GeO2, also known as germanium dioxide, is the most stable and commonly found oxide of germanium.


A branch of science that combines geology and chemistry?

Rocks are made of minerals. Minerals have a chemical formula. The ratios of minerals in a rock may be an indicator of how a rock was formed and under what environmental circumstances. Good stuff for geologists.


What is the ionic charge for germanium?

Germanium is in the fourth period of the periodic table. It exhibits two oxidation states GeII and GeIV This tendency for a lower oxidation state is termed the "inert pair effect". Looking at the halides GeF2 is a volatile white solid with an unusual structure which does not suggest that the bonding is ionic. GeCl4 is a covalent molecular compound like CCl4 and SiCl4 the oxides GeO2 and GeO are both known but GeO is unstable disproportionates to GeO2 and metallic germanium. In the oxides the bonding but like silicon oxides, it is best described as covalent. So in summary Ge2+ and Ge4+ (and these will probably be present in mass spectrometer beams) with the proviso that ions with a 4+ charge in reality are so strongly polarising that they will form bonds with a degree of covalency.


What is base words?

Base words are words in their simplest form without any affixes (prefixes or suffixes) attached. They are the foundation of a word and can often be modified to create new words by adding affixes. For example, the base word "happy" can be turned into "unhappy" by adding the prefix "un-" to create a new word with a different meaning.


WHAT IS limitations of surface geochemical analysis of hydrocarbons?

Surface geochemical analysis of hydrocarbons has limitations such as low spatial resolution, limited depth penetration, and susceptibility to contamination from sources other than the hydrocarbons of interest. Additionally, surface geochemical methods may not provide a complete picture of subsurface hydrocarbon reservoirs or their characteristics, leading to the need for additional exploration techniques.
