ASTROCHRONOLOGY OF LATE MIDDLE MIOCENE MEDITERRANEAN SECTIONS
High-resolution cyclostratigraphy and calcareous plankton astrobiochronology have been obtained from the latest Langhian to the earliest Tortonian of the Mediterranean. The investigated areas (Malta, Tremiti, and Sicily) are located in different geological settings, and the three studied sections show different cyclicity. Direct correlation between the

Cyclostratigraphy and astrochronology: Case studies from China. [PDF]
A high-precision geologic time scale is the essential key for understanding the Earth's evolutionary history and geologic processes. Astronomical tuning of orbitally forced stratigraphic records to construct high-resolution Astronomical Time Scales (ATS) has led to a progressive refinement of the geologic time scale over the past two decades.

Radiometric Constraints on the Timing, Tempo, and Effects of Large Igneous Province Emplacement
Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Gulf of Nuna: Astrochronologic correlation of a Mesoproterozoic oceanic euxinic event [PDF]
AbstractThe ca. 1.4 Ga Velkerri and Xiamaling Formations, in Australia and the north China craton, respectively, are both carbonaceous shale deposits that record a prominent euxinic interval and were intruded by ca. 1.3 Ga dolerite sills. These similarities raise the possibility that these two units correlate, which would suggest the occurrence of ...

Abstract A significant shift in Earth's climate characterizes the Neogene, transitioning from a single‐ice‐sheet planet to the current bipolar configuration. This climate evolution is closely linked to changing ocean currents, but globally‐distributed continuous high‐resolution sedimentary records are needed to fully capture this interaction. The Ocean
