Paleosecular Variation Constraints on Geomagnetic Field Morphology at ca. 1100 Ma
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.Abstract Paleosecular variation provides a statistical test of long‐term geomagnetic field morphology, but its behavior across Precambrian polarity regimes remains poorly constrained. We compile a virtual geomagnetic pole dispersion data set spanning 1130–1070 Ma and apply nonlinear Model G fitting to evaluate field structure across the interval ...

Ecology 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 ...

Natural Sciences, Volume 6, Issue 3, July 2026.ABSTRACT During the late 20th and early 21st century three conceptual revolutions reordered our understanding of the history of the Earth: The spread of plate tectonic theory from the 1960s onward which brought geology the first meaningful theory for building mountains and the migration of continents; the rebirth of catastrophism in 1980 with the ...

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract The accretion of allochthonous provinces, derived from oceanic plates, has traditionally been considered an important contributor to continental growth. However, increasing evidence shows that some oceanic terranes (e.g., island arcs) are not “exotic,” as suggested by the presence of continental‐derived sedimentary provenance.

Evolution: An Ediacaran ecdysozoan
Current BiologyA new study describes a fossilized ecdysozoan from Ediacaran rocks, extending the body fossil record for this hyper-diverse group and emphasizing the pivotal insights provided by Ediacaran fossils in documenting the early evolutionary history of major animal clades.

Late Campanian (74–71 Ma) Arabia–Eastern Anatolia Collision and Its Geodynamic Implications
Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract The East Anatolian Plateau is a major collisional feature within the Tethyan realm formed as a late‐stage result of the collision between East Anatolia and the Arabian Platform. The timing of this collision is highly debated, with estimates from the Late Cretaceous to the Miocene.

The Ediacaran Biotas in Space and Time [PDF]
Integrative and Comparative Biology, 2003 The "Ediacaran organisms," which preceded and overlapped the Cambrian radiation of metazoans, include many fossils whose systematic positions remain contentious after over fifty years of study. It might seem that nothing particularly useful can be learned from a biota full of oddballs. However, analyses of the distribution of the Ediacaran organisms in

Geochemistry, 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 ±
