Late Triassic Hydroclimatic Changes in Central China Linked to Evolving Mountain Topography
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.Abstract During the Late Triassic, tropical Pangea drifted northward into subtropical latitudes and became progressively drier. In contrast, South China, despite experiencing a similar latitudinal shift, transitioned from an arid to humid climate. Based on the sedimentary record of the Zigui Basin, this study constrains the arid to humid climatic shift

Whole‐bone shape of hominoid manual proximal phalanges
The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 2, Page 245-270, February 2026.Abstract Functional morphologists have long noted that skeletal adaptations in primate phalanges reflect locomotor behavior. While most studies have successfully used two‐dimensional measurements to quantify general features of phalanx shape, a whole‐bone three‐dimensional analysis may better capture more subtle aspects of phalanx morphology that have ...

Mechanisms of near‐normal sea water dolomitisation: Mesohaline‐reflux or syn‐depositional?
The 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
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.

Paleoecology of late miocene mediterranean foraminifera
, 1982 Qualitative and quantitative analyses were made of the benthic and planktonic foraminiferal associations derived from about 400 samples of the Cretan and Sicilian Upper Miocene (Tortonian and Messinian). The quantitative data were analyzed by means ofR- and Q-mode computer programs, which resulted in clusterings of benthic and of planktonic ...

Carbonate sedimentology: An evolved discipline
The Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.Abstract Although admired and examined since antiquity, carbonate sediment and rock research really began with Charles Darwin who, during a discovery phase, studied, documented and interpreted their nature in the mid‐19th century. The modern discipline, however, really began after World War II and evolved in two distinct phases.
