Columnanidus calitzdorpensis ichnogen. ichnosp. nov: A new Middle Pleistocene subterranean termite trace fossil from South Africa

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Termites are landscape geo‐engineers whose nesting activities substantially modify the physical and chemical properties of soils. Fossilised termite nests commonly constitute the only identifiable evidence of ancient termite activity and represent valuable trace fossil archives for reconstructing past environments.

The Jurassic of North-East Greenland: A new Middle–Upper Jurassic succession on Hold with Hope, North-East Greenland [PDF]

open access: yesGeological Survey of Denmark and Greenland Bulletin, 2004
A succession of marine, Jurassic sediments was recently discovered on Hold with Hope, North-East Greenland. The discovery shows that the area was covered by the sea during Middle–Late Jurassic transgressive events and thus adds to the understanding of ...

How the Physical and Chemical Properties Affect the Heavy Metal Content in Surface Water in Different Types of Peatlands

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Only ~3% of the global land surface is covered by peatlands, yet more than one‐third of global soil carbon is stored in these ecosystems and contaminant filtration can be provided. The extent to which peat humification (Fibric–Hemic–Sapric) is linked to dissolved heavy metals in peatland surface waters has remained poorly quantified at a ...

Middle to Late Jurassic pelagites and gravity mass flow deposits of a displaced Neotethyan margin: Microfacies and biostratigraphical studies in Northeast Hungary [PDF]

open access: yesGeološki Anali Balkanskoga Poluostrva
Microfacies, depositional age and sedimentary environment were characterised for two Jurassic successions, which were deposited on the Adriatic microcontinental margin of the Neotethys Ocean. Investigations were carried out mostly on cores drilled in the

The neck of Barosaurus was not only longer but also wider than those of Diplodocus and other diplodocines [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Barosaurus is a diplodocid sauropod from the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation of the western United States, and is known for its very long neck. It is related to the sympatric Diplodocus, and often thought of as more or less identical except with a ...

Isolation, Insularity and Resilience: A Review of the Geophysical, Socioeconomic, and Environmental Vulnerabilities of Gran Canaria and Lesvos Islands for Policy Interventions to Global Change

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic nature of small islands being geographically isolated and their perceived connectedness with global networks complicates research attempts to draw general conclusions on whether insularity leads to marginalization or strengthens their resilience for sustainable development.

A Late Jurassic deep-bodied actinopterygian from Antarctica

open access: yesActa Palaeontologica Polonica
Mesozoic deep-bodied actinopterygians are of interest given, among others, the various modes of feeding exhibited by these fishes. Regrettably, most of their fossil record is restricted to a limited number of localities in Europe. During the Late Jurassic fragmentation of Pangaea, the exchange of fauna between the European Tethys and the paleo-Pacific (

Possible Jurassic age for part of Rakaia Terrane: implications for tectonic development of the Torlesse accretionary prism

open access: yes, 2001
Greywacke sandstone and argillite beds comprising Rakaia Terrane (Torlesse Complex) in mid Canterbury, South Island, New Zealand, are widely regarded as Late Triassic (Norian) in age based on the occurrence of Torlessia trace fossils, Monotis, and other ...
