Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

A protocol for plant macrofossil analysis of peat deposits [PDF]
Analyses of plant macrofossils can be used to reconstruct the development of the local vegetation on peatlands, and thus to elucidate successional processes.

A reconstruction of the environment of Rettig in the city of Turku, Finland on the basis of diatom, pollen, plant macrofossil and phytolith analyses [PDF]
Palynological and palaeobotanical results from three representative cores investigated in 1994—1995 in connection with the archaeological excavations in the Rettig "Palace", Turku, Finland, are discussed.

Naakenavaara Interglacial - a till-covered peat deposit in western Finnish Lapland [PDF]
More than 100 till-covered organic deposits are currently known in the Finnish Lapland. All others, except Naakenavaara, are interpreted as having deposited during either the Early-Weichselian Peräpohjola/Maaselkä interstadial or the Eemian interglacial ...

Late Quaternary history of Lammefjorden, north-west Sjælland, Denmark
Lammefjorden is a reclaimed fjord in north-west Sjælland, Denmark. Sediment cores from the area were collected to study its development after the last deglaciation, in particular the sea-level history.

The oldest record of Ediacaran macrofossils in Gondwana (~563 Ma, Itajaí Basin, Brazil)
The Avalon biota (Ediacaran Period, 570–559 Ma) marks the first appearance of macroscopic and complex benthic communities in the fossil record. This assemblage is known from a few localities worldwide, mainly in Canada and England.

Plant macrofossils from the Shemshak Formation, Rudbar, western Alborz [PDF]
Plant macrofossils from the Shemshak Formation, Rudbar, western Alborz, collected at two distinct horizons, including horizon 1 (Koushk area) and horizon 2 (northern Rudbar), are examined to determine the relative age and sedimentary environments of the ...

Towards a radiocarbon chronology of the Late-Glacial: Sample selection strategies [PDF]
This paper outlines a dating program designed to test the reproducibility of radiocarbon dates on different materials of Late-Glacial age (plant macrofossils, fossil beetle remains, and the "humic" and "humin" chemical fractions of limnic sediments ...
