Proterozoic and early Palaeozoic microfossils in the Karikkoselkä impact crater, central Finland [PDF]
The Karikkoselkä impact crater is located at Petäjävesi (Lat. 62°13.3' N, Long. 25°14.7' E), in central Finland. The crater is filled with impact-generated breccias and redeposited sedimentary rock yielding microfossils.

Microfossil-like tourmaline microlites in early Proterozoic nodular chert at Kiihtelysvaara, eastern Finland [PDF]
Many Proterozoic silicified sedimentary carbonates have been reported to contain remains of early micro-organisms. One of these localities in the Fennoscandian Shield is the village of Hyypiä at Kiihtelysvaara in eastern Finland, where a nodular chert ...

Alpine Glacier Reveals Ecosystem Impacts of Europe's Prosperity and Peril Over the Last Millennium
Information about past ecosystem dynamics and human activities is stored in the ice of Colle Gnifetti glacier in the Swiss Alps. Adverse climatic intervals incurred crop failures and famines and triggered reestablishment of forest vegetation but also ...

Red to Green: A Lipid Biomarker Record of Tonian-Ediacaran Algae in Siberia. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Multiple lines of evidence point to a major diversification of Eukarya in the late Tonian period, ca. 800–720 Ma ago. Regular steranes, lipid biomarkers primarily sourced from eukaryotes, are first unambiguously reported from multiple sites. Here, we present lipid biomarker stratigraphic records from two drill‐cores from the Lena‐Anabar Basin ...

Late Glacial vegetation, sedimentation and ice recession chronology in the surroundings of Lake Prossa, central Estonia [PDF]
Pollen records from Lake Prossa, located in the Saadjärv Drumlin Field, indicate rather homogeneous pollen spectra in the pre-Allerød period and a thick sediment sequence suggesting high input of mineral matter and erosion.

New Brittle Stars (Echinodermata, Ophiuroidea) from the Oligocene of the Mainz Basin, Germany
The fossil record of the Ophiuroidea is still patchy, especially in the Cenozoic. Only four species have been described from the entire Oligocene, which is in stark contrast to the present-day diversity counting more than 2000 species.

Holocene lacustrine microfossils and environmental changes [PDF]
This review is concerned with the biostratigraphical use of the lacustrine microfossils such as diatoms, blue-green and green algae, Mallomonadaceae, Cladocera and larval insect remains preserved in lake sediments and their value as bioindicators of ...
