A revised Mississippian lithostratigraphy of County Galway (western Ireland) with an analysis of carbonate lithofacies, biostratigraphy, depositional environments and palaeogeographic reconstructions utilising new borehole data

An integrated study of borehole data and outcrop of Mississippian (late Tournaisian to late Viséan) rocks in Co.
