New partial skeleton of Homo habilis from the upper Burgi Member, Koobi Fora Formation, Ileret, Kenya

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 3, Page 485-545, March 2026.
Abstract KNM‐ER 64061 is a partial skeleton from the upper Burgi Member of the Koobi Fora Formation (2.02–2.06 Ma) associated taphonomically and geochemically with a nearly complete mandibular dentition (KNM‐ER 64060) attributed to Homo habilis.

Temperature Sensitivity of Leaf Wax n‐Alkane Carbon Isotopes: Mechanisms and Implications for Terrestrial Paleoclimates

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract While climate signals encapsulated in the 13C content of C3 plants' leaf wax n‐alkanes are largely tied to precipitation, they may also be sensitive to plant physiological responses to temperature. In this study, statistical analyses on a global data set of modern plants reveal a correlation between the 13C discrimination for leaf waxes ...

Mechanisms of near‐normal sea water dolomitisation: Mesohaline‐reflux or syn‐depositional?

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
This study investigates the dolomitisation of the Eocene Dammam Formation on the Arabian Plate using petrographic, mineralogical, geochemical and isotopic analyses. The findings reveal two distinct dolomite types, formed primarily through normal‐to‐mesohaline sea water dolomitisation, challenging previous models such as sabkha‐meteoric mixing.

An updated mammal biochronology and biogeography for the paleocene and early eocene of Asia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Paleomammalogists often use a biochronological system of regional Land Mammal Ages (LMAs) to designate intervals of time defined by specific events in the evolutionary history of mammals.

Sediment‐stressed reefs over the past 420 Myr

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
In order to fully elucidate the relationship between siliciclastic sedimentation and reef development, there needs to be a significant step change in how we record ancient and recent reefs. Only through the collection of constrained quantitative data, we can progress beyond the largely conjectural associations postulated for many ancient reefal systems.

Carbonate sedimentology: An evolved discipline

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Although admired and examined since antiquity, carbonate sediment and rock research really began with Charles Darwin who, during a discovery phase, studied, documented and interpreted their nature in the mid‐19th century. The modern discipline, however, really began after World War II and evolved in two distinct phases.
