The Complete Mitogenome of the Estuarine Clam Potamocorbula amurensis (Corbulidae, Myida) and Its Implications for Phylogeny and Adaptation

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
This study reports the first complete mitogenome of the estuarine clam Potamocorbula amurensis, revealing its phylogenetic position as a sister group to the Myidae–Dreissenidae clade. Molecular dating indicates a Middle Jurassic divergence, and positive selection was detected in the nad5 gene, suggesting mitochondrial adaptations to osmotic stress in ...

Review of the Ediacaran-Lower Ordovician (pre-Sardic) stratigraphic framework of the Eastern Pyrenees, southwestern Europe

open access: yesGeologica Acta, 2018
The Ediacaran-Lower Ordovician successions exposed in the Eastern Pyrenees are updated and revised based on recent U-Pb zircon radiometric ages, intertonguing relationships of carbonate-dominated strata, and onlapping patterns marking the top of volcano ...

Middle Cretaceous Andean‐Type Arc Evolution in the Sanandaj–Sirjan Zone (Shalair Valley), Iraq: New Geochronological and Geochemical Constraints

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The middle Cretaceous granitoid plutons of the Shalair Valley, situated in northeastern Iraq, constitute a principal magmatic component of the Sanandaj–Sirjan Zone within the northwestern segment of the Zagros Orogenic Belt. Among these plutons, the equigranular Aulan body (AG) and the porphyritic Laladar body (LG) were crystallized at 111.0 ±

Protracted High‐Grade Metamorphism and Slow Cooling in the Adirondacks Recalibrate Neoproterozoic Global Paleogeography

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 45, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The assembly and breakup of the supercontinent Rodinia set the stage for Earth system evolution through the Neoproterozoic Era. Laurentia, the central craton in Rodinia, lacks well‐dated paleomagnetic poles between ca. 990 Ma and 780 Ma. In this study, we develop new U‐Pb petrochronology and thermochronology data sets from zircon, garnet ...

Modes of pre-Ediacaran multicellularity

open access: yes, 2009
A multicellular grade of organization is widely distributed among extant organisms and widely represented in the pre-Ediacaran fossil record. A review of the pre-Ediacaran record identifies nine general categories of multicellular organization: (1 ...

Laurasian Seaway History During the Early Jurassic From Quantitative Mineralogy and Detrital Zircon Dating

open access: yesPaleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 41, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The Laurasian Seaway comprises a N‐S oriented trans‐Pangaean corridor linking Tethys to the Boreal Sea during the Jurassic, and direction of water flow has been the subject of considerable debate. The Llanbedr (Mochras Farm) borehole, Cardigan Bay Basin, Wales, is a uniquely informative record that comprises an expanded deep‐marine silty ...

MISS diversity from saline lakes of Brazilian Pantanal: Origin, potential of preservation and comparison with examples of the Ediacaran‐Cambrian shallow depositional settings

open access: yesSedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 4, Page 945-964, June 2026.
ABSTRACT One of the largest wetlands on Earth, the Brazilian Pantanal contains roughly 10 000 natural lakes, about 1000 of which are hypersaline. In these environmentally stressful settings, animal life struggles to survive, while cyanobacteria form extensive mats.

Data from: Relating Ediacaran fronds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Ediacaran fronds are key components of terminal-Proterozoic ecosystems. They represent one of the most widespread and common body forms ranging across all major Ediacaran fossil localities and time slices postdating the Gaskiers glaciation, but ...

DETRITAL ZIRCONS FROM THE PRECAMBRIAN OF THE IGARKA UPLIFT (NORTHWESTERN SIBERIAN PLATFORM)

open access: yesГеодинамика и тектонофизика
Herein we report the results of LA-ICP-MS dating of detrital zircons from eight stratigraphic levels of the Proterozoic section of the Igarka uplift (northwestern Siberian Platform).
