A Classification of Protective Structures in Fossil Bryozoans

Учёные записки Казанского университета: Серия Естественные науки
The protective structures of bryozoans representing four orders—Trepostomata, Cryptostomata, Fenestrata, and Cheilostomata—were analyzed and classified for the first time based on functional criteria.

Determining impact angle from the spatial distribution of shock metamorphism: A case study of the Gosses Bluff (Tnorala) impact structure, Australia

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The majority of planetary impacts occur at oblique angles. Impact structures on Earth are commonly eroded or buried, rendering the identification of the direction and angle of impact—using methods such as asymmetries in ejecta distribution, surface topographic expression, central uplift structure, and geophysical anomalies—challenging. In this

Conellae, enigmatic structures on cephalopod shells—shapes, distribution, and formation [PDF]

, 2019
Conellae, enigmatic cone-shaped structures which can be found on the surface of internal moulds of cephalopod shells (predominantly of ammonoids), are regarded herein as the product of remote (biologically induced) biomineralization formed in closed-off ...

Fascinating single‐cell red algae: models for evolution and adaptation

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary The unicellular red algae, Cyanidiophyceae, that diverged early during Archaeplastida (algal and plant) evolution, occupy a variety of extreme habitats that are inhospitable for most other eukaryotes. With the use of modern genomics and genetics methods, Cyanidiophyceae show a remarkable taxonomic diversity, share haplodiplophasic life cycles ...

First U–Pb LA-ICP-MS Radioisotopic Ages of the Devonian–Carboniferous Boundary Black Shales (Domanik Facies) in the Kama–Kinel Trough System, Volga–Ural Petroleum Province, East European Platform

Georesursy
For the first time, zircons from thin volcanic ash layers contained within organic-rich black shales (Domanik facies) at the Devonian–Carboniferous boundary have been dated using the U–Pb LA-ICP-MS method.

The making of pure quartzose sand in continental interiors: Paraná River (Brazil and Argentina)

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As part of a comprehensive project on sedimentary processes in South America, this study focuses on sediment generation in the intracratonic Paraná Basin and monitors the evolution of sand composition along the Paraná River from central Brazil to the Río de la Plata estuary in Argentina.

The Mesozoic along-strike tectono-metamorphic segmentation of Longmen Shan (eastern Tibetan plateau) [PDF]

, 2018
The Longmen Shan belt (eastern border of the Tibetan plateau) constitutes a tectonically active region as demonstrated by the occurrence of the unexpected 2008 Mw 7.9 Wenchuan and 2013 Mw 6.6 Lushan earthquakes in the central and southern parts of the ...

Convergent allometric trajectories in Devonian Carboniferous unornamented Polygnathus conodonts [PDF]

Acta Palaeontologica Polonica
The shape of feeding structures is reputed to be under functional constraints related to the processing of food particles. Their morphological variation through evolution and ontogeny may thus provide an insight into changes in occlu sal dynamics and ...
