Print conglomerates, for example, may offer some news publications as pre-emptive measures that make it less profitable for other companies to enter the market.
The conglomerates that predominate in the lowest parts of both groups imply the presence of fault scarps at the surface.
The most abundant sediment type in the two groups is fine-grained fluvial sandstone, although conglomerates and lacustrine siltstones also occur.
Generally, the basal beds are dominated by coarse-grained and pebbly sandstones and basal conglomerates.
The large clast conglomerates then disappear by 14 m where the fill is solely composed of red small-clast conglomerates.
The infilling of fissure 2 contains conglomerates in which the contemporaneous terrestrial to marine vertebrate fossils are in a ratio of > 1000:1.
They are mostly mixed pyroclastic-epiclastic deposits of tuffaceous sandstone and siltstone with interlayers of graphitic schist, together with thin conglomerates composed of volcanic-derived debris.
In primary spermatocytes mitochondria aggregated by nuage were found with large vacuoles containing membraneous conglomerates that were obviously excreted by organelles into the cytoplasm.
