Abstract The complex evolutionary history behind modern mammalian chewing performance and hearing function is a result of several changes in the entire skeletomuscular system of the skull and lower jaw. Lately, exciting multifunctional 3D analytical methods and kinematic simulations of feeding functions in both modern and fossil mammals and their ...

An integrated facies, MS and XRF‐based approach applied to the Tithonian–Berriasian Sidi Khalif Formation (central Tunisia) resolves five Tithonian and eight Berriasian third‐order sequences, showing how mixed carbonate–siliciclastic shelves record coupled eustatic, climatic and tectonic controls and providing a transferable template for similar mud ...

Composition and Provenance of Victoria Group Sandstones in Southern North Victoria Land, Antarctica
Three distinct source areas contributed to sandstones of the Victoria Group within the Transantarctic Basin in southern North Victoria Land. During the Permian, quartzose sandstones were derived from erosion of the local Ross Orogen, likely from an uplifted swell in the area of today's Ross Sea, the Ross High.

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 ...
