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

A story from the Miocene: Clock-dated phylogeny of Sisymbrium L. (Sisymbrieae, Brassicaceae). [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2021 Morphological variability and imprecise generic boundaries have hindered systematic, taxonomical, and nomenclatural studies of Sisymbrium L. (Brassicaceae, Sisymbrieae DC.). The present study placed the biological history of Sisymbrium L. into time and space and rendered the tribus Sisymbrieae as monotypic.

The Atlas of Morocco: A Plume‐Assisted Orogeny
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 24, Issue 6, June 2023., 2023 Abstract We explore the connections between crustal shortening, volcanism, and mantle dynamics in the Atlas of Morocco. In response to compressional forces and strain localization, this intraplate orogen has evolved far from convergent plate margins.
