By latest Jurassic times, the Western Tethys changed from radiolarite sedimentation to calcareous low-fertility facies sedimentation like the Atlantic, while in the Circum-Pacific realm radiolarite sedimentation continued. It is only by Campanian times that we can observe a global homogenisation of facies. 2, record 1, English, - homogenization%20of%20facies

Dans les échantillons de cuirasses très évoluées et très riches en fer [...] la lithodépendance et les relations entre roche mère et faciès d'altération s'estompent. Les différences observées deviennent du même ordre de grandeur que la dispersion des valeurs mesurées. Il y a donc homogénéisation minéralogique et géochimique des faciès cuirassés les plus riches en fer. 3, record 1, French, - homog%C3%A9n%C3%A9isation%20des%20faci%C3%A8s

La plupart des travaux de chenalisation se traduisent par une simplification des écoulements (banalisation des faciès) et par conséquent des habitats aquatiques. La modification due à la chenalisation provoque généralement une réduction des vitesses et des profondeurs en étiage et une augmentation en crue. Les conditions deviennent alors critiques pour les biocénoses. En effet, cette homogénéisation des faciès se convertit quasi-directement en une simplification des biocénoses aquatiques, c'est-à-dire en une chute drastique de la biodiversité. 4, record 1, French, - homog%C3%A9n%C3%A9isation%20des%20faci%C3%A8s

Subgreenschist-facies regional metamorphic rocks are subdivided into prehnite-pumpellyite zone and prehnite-epidote zone. Fluid inclusions in two subgreenschist-facies veins yielded mean homogenization temperatures of 139 and 151°C. Assuming a reasonable maximum temperature limit of 275°C for the subgreenschist fades, the fluid-inclusion isochores indicate a pressure <250 MPa [megapascals] for regional metamorphism in the subgreenschist facies. 4, record 2, English, - subgreenschist%20facies%20metamorphism

Les roches métamorphiques régionales de sous-faciès des schistes verts sont subdivisées en une zone à prehnite-pumpellyite et une zone à prehnite-épidote. Les inclusions fluides étudiées dans les filons des deux sous-faciès des schistes verts ont fourni des températures moyennes d'homogénéisation de 139 et 151 °C. En supposant pour ces sous-faciès des schistes verts une limite de température maximale raisonnable de 275 °C, les isochores des inclusions fluides indiqueraient alors une pression de <250 MPa [mégapascals] pour le métamorphisme régional des sous-faciès des schistes verts. 1, record 2, French, - m%C3%A9tamorphisme%20des%20sous%2Dfaci%C3%A8s%20des%20schistes%20verts
