Clumped Isotope Temperature Reconstruction Using Stalagmite Drip Cups

open access: yesRapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, Volume 40, Issue 8, 30 April 2026.
ABSTRACT Rationale Application of clumped isotope palaeothermometry to speleothems (carbonate cave deposits, e.g., stalagmites and flowstones) has been restricted largely to subaqueous samples because of kinetic fractionation processes that occur during subaerial speleothem formation, which lead to erroneously high inferred temperatures.

Recalibration of the Tethyan shallow-benthic zonation across the Paleocene-Eocene boundary: the Egyptian record

open access: yesGeologica Acta, 2009
The Galala Mountains in Egypt provide an excellent platform-basin transect with deposits spanning the Paleocene/ Eocene (P/E) boundary. These interfingering deposits enable a recalibration between platform and open marine biostratigraphic schemes.

SOME MICROFOSSILS (DASYCLADALES, BENTHIC FORAMINIFERA, SPONGES) FROM THE UPPER JURASSIC MOZDURAN FORMATION (NE IRAN, KOPET-DAGH) AND THEIR BIOSTRATIGRAPHIC AND PALAEOBIOGEOGRAPHIC IMPORTANCE

open access: yesRivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2019
The Mozduran Formation represents mainly carbonatic shallow-water deposits from the Kopet-Dagh basin of northeast Iran. Longtime considered to be of exclusively Late Jurassic (Oxfordian-Kimmeridgian) age, its ranging into the Early Cretaceous has been ...

Factors controlling the depth habitat of planktonic foraminifera in the subtropical eastern North Atlantic

open access: yes, 2016
. Planktonic foraminifera preserved in marine sediments archive the physical and chemical conditions under which they built their shells. To interpret the paleoceanographic information contained in fossil foraminifera, the recorded proxy signals have to ...

Reading the Fine Print: Ultra-Microstructures of Foraminiferal Calcification Revealed Using Focused Ion Beam Microscopy

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2018
The elemental composition of calcite is of critical value in paleoceanographic reconstructions, yet little is known about biological processes underlying elemental uptake by foraminifers during calcification.

Biostratigraphy of the Danian/Selandian transition: A case study from Kamestan anticline section, northwest of Izeh city in Khuzestan province, Southern Iran [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The planktonic foraminifera turnover across the Danian-Selandian boundary (early to late Paleocene, ~60 Ma) has been studied in the Kamestan anticline section. The studied interval span planktonic foraminifera zones P2-P3.

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.

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.
