Det relativt sparsamma utbudet av ordoviciska blottningar i Fågelsångsdalen, Skåne, krävde en borrkärna för att lära mer om lagerföljden. Borrkärnan har, under arbetet med denna rapport, studerats och dokumenterats litologiskt, litostratigrafiskt och till viss grad paleontologiskt. Fågelsångskärnan-2 består av mörka skiffrar avsatta i relativt djup marin miljö med rikt innehåll av bland annat grapOrdovician strata are well represented in the Fågelsång valley in south-central Scania (Skåne), southern Sweden, but exposures of such deposits are relatively few and most of the present outcrops are small. In order to study a stratigraphically more complete succession from the area, a core drilling, here referred to as Fågelsång-2, was conducted in 2013. The drilling was stopped at a depth of 64,

Argentina is a country enriched with an abundance of natural resources. This great wealth of primary commodity goods has turned the region into one of the world’s most prominent exporters of agricultural goods like soybeans, wheat and oil.

Depending on what values a politician builds his or her conception of the world certain aspects of an issue are highlighted at th
