It Takes a '‘Superhero’' to Uncover the Climate Secrets in Fossilized Arctic Ocean Dinocysts
The Snow On Ice project developed curricular materials using scientists depicted as superheroes as a means of engaging students and providing a novel method to link current climate change in the Arctic to Middle-Holocene Warming—a topic that might seem ...

Paleontological Evidence for Dinoflagellates and Ciliates as Early Eukaryotes
Molecular trees and geochemical markers suggest the divergence of dinoflagellates as early eukaryotes (~650 million years ago), but the traditional fossil record of cysts (dinocysts) starts during the Triassic (~230 million years ago). A re-evaluation of

Single-species dinoflagellate cyst carbon isotope fractionation in core-top sediments: environmental controls, CO2 dependency and proxy potential [PDF]
Sedimentary bulk organic matter and various molecular organic components exhibit strong CO2-dependent carbon isotope fractionation relative to dissolved inorganic carbon sources. This fractionation (εp) has been employed as a proxy for paleo-pCO2.

Biostratigraphic correlation of the western and eastern margins of the Labrador–Baffin Seaway and implications for the regional geology. Fig. 5 [PDF]
New analyses of the palynological assemblages in 13 offshore wells on the Canadian margin and six on the West Greenland Margin, in conjunction with onshore data, have led to a new biostratigraphic framework for the Cretaceous–Cenozoic strata of the ...

Lower miocene stratigraphy of the Eastern Paratethys: Problems and state of the art [PDF]
The Lower Miocene regional stages of the Eastern Paratethys, the Caucasian, Sakaraulian, and Kozakhurian, have been recognized in different structural facies zones of the basin and have no reliable universal stratigraphic basis for defining their ...

Cretaceous and Cenozoic dinoflagellate cysts and other palynomorphs from the western and eastern margins of the Labrador–Baffin Seaway - Fig. 6 [PDF]
New palynological analysis of samples from 13 offshore wells on the Canadian Margin and six wells on the West Greenland Margin has led to a new event biostratigraphic framework for Cretaceous– Cenozoic strata of the Labrador Sea – Davis Strait – Baffin ...
