Carbonate sedimentology: An evolved discipline
The Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.Abstract Although admired and examined since antiquity, carbonate sediment and rock research really began with Charles Darwin who, during a discovery phase, studied, documented and interpreted their nature in the mid‐19th century. The modern discipline, however, really began after World War II and evolved in two distinct phases.

Sedimentology, Volume 72, Issue 2, Page 365-407, February 2025.ABSTRACT The lower Nama Group in southern Namibia contains trace fossils and soft‐bodied and biomineralized macro‐organisms from the terminal Ediacaran Period (ca 550 to 539 Ma), offering insights into early metazoan evolution. Interpretation of the fossilized Nama Group organisms as being preserved in, or very close to, the environments in which they ...

How to engineer a habitable planet: the rise of marine ecosystem engineers through the Phanerozoic
Palaeontology, Volume 67, Issue 5, September/October 2024.Abstract Ecosystem engineers are organisms that modify their physical habitats in a way that alters resource availability and the structure of the communities they live in. The evolution of ecosystem engineers over the course of Earth history has thus been suggested to have been a driver of macroevolutionary and macroecological changes that are ...
