Early evolutionary history of the seed

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1511-1553, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The seed is an essential stage in the life history of gymnospermous and angiospermous plants, facilitating both their survival and dispersal. We reappraise knowledge of the evolutionary history of the gymnospermous seed, from its origin in the late Devonian through to the well‐known end‐Permian extinctions – an interval encompassing the ...

A revision of Praearcturus gigas: a giant scorpion from the Lower Devonian (Lochkovian) of Britain

Palaeontology, Volume 69, Issue 3, 2026.
Abstract Praearcturus gigas Woodward is a large arthropod of disputed affinity from the fluvial St Maughans Formation (Lower Devonian, Lochkovian) of the Old Red Sandstone of England and Wales. Originally described as an isopod in the nineteenth century, and subsequently compared to various arthropod groups, it was re‐described with limited ...

New Zealand Geological Timescale 2025

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 1, March 2026.
New Zealand Geological Timescale 2025 (NZGT 2025) is the first comprehensive update and revision of the New Zealand Geological Timescale in a decade. The criteria used to establish age ranges of New Zealand Stages within the NZGT have been reviewed, calibrated, and revised where required against the 2023/04 International Chronostratigraphic Chart and ...

Sediment‐stressed reefs over the past 420 Myr

The 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.

A NEW SPECIES OF THE DEVONIAN ACTINOPTERYGIAN FISH MOYTHOMASIA FROM BELARUS

Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia
A new species of early actinopterygian fishes, Moythomasia lebedevi sp. nov., is described based on numerous isolated scales occurring in Middle Devonian (Givetian, Polotskian Regional Stage) marine deposits (Goryn, Stolin and Moroch Beds) of Belarus ...

Iron–Phosphorus–Carbon Coupled Cycling in Lacustrine System of Ordos Basin During the Middle Triassic

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Widespread organic‐rich shales are associated with perturbations in productivity or preservation conditions; however, the major controlling factors, especially the phosphorus (P) and iron (Fe) interactions and their impacts on organic carbon burial in the paleolake ecosystem remain poorly understood.

Sections in the western slope of the south urals perspective for the choice of the famennian regional boundary stratotype point

Литосфера, 2015
The Bol’shaya Barma, Akkyr, Ryauzyak and Kuk-Karauk sections in the western slope of the South Urals are considered to be perspective sections for the identification of Famennian Regional Boundary Stratotype Point (RBSP).

1.38 Ga Four‐Layer Tuff Marker Horizon in North China black Shales as a Chronostratigraphic Boundary for the Pre‐Ediacaran Geological Timescale

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 17, 16 September 2025.
Abstract Boundaries in the Phanerozoic chronostratigraphic scale are mainly precisely defined and dated, and many correspond to environmental catastrophes induced by the emplacement of LIPs. The pre‐Ediacaran geological timescale is currently subdivided by approximate absolute ages.
