Flux and Isotopic Composition of Sedimentary Carbon Subducting Along the World's Trenches
Abstract Here we provide comprehensive estimates for the subducted sedimentary flux of inorganic and organic carbon and δ13C at 16 trench segments worldwide. Our calculations provide minimum (incoming sediment), maximum (trench fill) and best estimates (underthrust) of carbon fluxes.

The 3D submicron-scale skeletal reconstruction of Nannoconus (Cretaceous calcareous nannofossil) – Insights into biomineralization [PDF]
Nannoconus (∼ 5–20 µm) was a major planktonic producer in the Early Cretaceous seas (∼ 150–120 Ma). The heavy calcitic skeletons (micaliths; ∼ 200–1400 picogram) of this extinct nannoplankton genus have contributed to massive carbonate accumulations for ...

Stable isotope and calcareous nannofossil assemblage record of the late Paleocene and early Eocene (Cicogna section) [PDF]
We present records of stable carbon and oxygen isotopes, CaCO3 content, and changes in calcareous nannofossil assemblages across an 81 m thick section of upper Paleocene–lower Eocene marine sedimentary rocks now exposed along the Cicogna Stream in ...

Eocene belemnites from Hungary
Abstract The Middle Eocene nummulitic limestone at Dudar, Transdanubian Hungary, has yielded several belemnite rostra during the last 60–70 years. The correct interpretation of these fossils was made possible by the fact that one of these specimens retained the remnants of the conotheca within the alveolus, while others preserved the conical, tapering ...

Atlas of Northwestern Mediterranean Coccolithophores
The present Atlas contains a detailed study, based in scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observations, of living coccolithophores from NW Mediterranean waters. The study contains 103 figures with 411 micrographs, which correspond to 168 coccolithophores (

Abstract The Paleocene‐Eocene thermal maximum (PETM, ∼56 Ma) is marked by a massive and rapid rise in atmospheric CO2 and ∼5°C of global warming. It is globally characterized by a negative carbon isotope excursion (CIE), and, at least locally, is preceded by a pre‐onset excursion (POE).

Were Oceanic Plateaus Instrumental for Calcareous Nannoplankton Evolution?
The history of calcareous nannoplankton shows a general increase in species richness through the Mesozoic. Fertility and chemistry of the oceans, climate and pCO2 seem instrumental for nannoplankton abundance, diversification and adaptation, but high ...

Abstract Long‐term rates of crustal uplift in southern Calabria and NE Sicily are incompletely understood due to limited information about the age of marine terraces at 1.0–1.3 km above sea level (asl). This study provides a new constraint on high‐elevation terrace ages through integrated analysis of geochronology, stratigraphy, shoreline modeling, and
