The introduction of marine cone snail species from the coast of the Qeshm Island, contains conotoxin palliative pain in mice [PDF]
Conotoxins are small toxic peptides that are synthesized in cone snail venom ducts. Conotoxins have analgesic effects in models animal. In this study, the analgesic effects with no toxicity of Persian Gulf cone snails, Conus coronatus, and Conus frigidus

ABSTRACT While oasis settlements emerged during the Bronze Age in Eastern and Northern Arabia, the settlement process in Central Arabia was different. Excavations at al‐Yamāma—main ancient settlement of the al‐Kharj oasis (Riyadh Province, KSA)—suggest that the latter did not emerge before the second half of the first millennium BCE.

Glacially overdeepened valleys in the northern Alpine Foreland preserve Middle to Late Pleistocene sedimentary sequences that may serve as valuable archives for reconstructing past environmental changes in response to shifts in climate. This study presents a multidisciplinary analysis of two sediment cores from the overdeepened Wehntal Valley at ...

Biochemistry of Cone Snail toxin activation [PDF]
posterCone snails use venom to capture prey for food and for defense against predators. The venom is composed of over 100 active peptides that target specific receptors in the nervous system.

Holocene shoreline displacement and the impact of the Storegga tsunami on Hinnøya, northern Norway
The Holocene relative sea‐level (RSL) history of Norway's largest island, Hinnøya, has been investigated in detail, using sediment records from 25 isolation basins. The sediments were analysed for macrofossil and phytoplankton content, which served as the basis for identifying marine–lacustrine transitions, that is isolation contacts. Terrestrial plant
