The most complete amiid fish from the Coal Creek Member of the Eocene Kishenehn Formation in northwestern Montana

Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2022
The larger-bodied fish fauna of the Kishenehn Formation’s Coal Creek Member (Eocene, 43.5 Ma), northwestern Montana, is understudied because of a sampling bias towards small specimens. Small specimens (

Waves of range dynamics and gene flow characterize the biogeographic history of Litsea elongata, a dominant tree in East Asian evergreen broadleaved forests

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Evergreen broadleaved forests (EBLFs) represent an iconic vegetation type in subtropical montane East Asia, but they are experiencing intensifying anthropogenic pressure and increasing habitat fragmentation. Here, using a dominant and widespread tree species characteristic of East Asian EBLFs, we examine its phylogeographic history and evaluate what it

Body Size Regulates Niche Overlap Asymmetry in the Subtropical Andes Rain Shadow: Isotopic Paleoecology of Oligocene South American Ungulates

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study provides the first isotopic analysis of Oligocene mammals from Quebrada Fiera, Mendoza, Argentina, filling a major gap in South American paleontology. It reveals a latitudinal gradient in aridity due to the Andean rain shadow and highlights the role of (semi)permanent water bodies in sustaining diverse herbivore communities. Additionally, it

THE FIRST RECORD OF NEMKOVELLA DAGUINI (NEUMANN, 1958) FROM THE MIDDLE-UPPER EOCENE OF OMAN (ARABIAN PENINSULA) AND MEGHALAYA (INDIAN SUBCONTINENT) AND ITS SIGNIFICANCE IN TETHYAN CORRELATIONS AND PALEOBIOGEOGRAPHY

Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2018
Nemkovella daguini (Neumann, 1958) is a small-sized orthophragminid species previously reported from the Lutetian to lower Priabonian shelf deposits of the peri-Mediterranean region (Western Tethys).

Cenozoic Tectonics Ignite Mitochondrial Codon Innovations Propelling Canid Body Size Evolution and Transcontinental Radiations

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We decode mitochondrial genomes across all extant canids, revealing lineage‐specific codon optimization driven by altitude, predation, and body size. A tripartite framework integrates geological events, metabolic constraints, and adaptive radiation to explain carnivore evolution.

The Material Basis of 18th‐Century Meissen Porcelain

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the summer of 1708, the quest for making hard‐paste porcelain from Saxonian clay and other mineral resources succeeded. This was achieved by applying as its essential ingredient newly discovered pure kaolin from Heidelsberg near Aue, western Saxon Ore Mountains.

Procurement of Senonian Flint for Bladelets Production at the Early PPNB Site of Nahal Zahal in the Northern Negev Established for the First Time Using Chemical Composition Analysis

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The hypotheses of Senonian flint to be a prime source of prehistoric “chalcedony” flint artefacts from the Negev Desert (Israel) was not investigated in detail thus far. By combining trace‐element profiling with statistical interpretation, ten flint items from Nahal Zahal, an Early Pre‐Pottery Neolithic B site in the northern Negev, were ...

Love in the Eocene

Emic
My submission showcases the research I've gathered while working in the Paleobotany sector of Florida's Natural History Museum. A key aspect of my work includes imaging fossils from the Eocene period, which date back millions of years. This fossil fragment, resembling a heart, symbolizes the enduring nature of love through Earth's history.
