The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 10, Page 2656-2697, October 2026.Abstract The study of morphological evolution is fundamentally tied to ontogeny, yet studies of these heterochronic processes in the fossil record are rare. Fossils belonging to an ontogenetic series are difficult to assign to an ontogenetic stage due to inconsistent proxies for skeletal ages, challenging to taxonomically assign due to morphological ...

The Unexpected Discovery of Paleocene? Coals in Outcrops Thought to Be Cambrian, Al Huqf, Oman
Journal of Petroleum Geology, Volume 49, Issue 4, Page 1179-1194, October 2026.ABSTRACT Two brown organic deposits were encountered whilst investigating kaolinitic claystones thought to occur at the base of a Cambrian formation at outcrop. The age of these organic deposits is probably Paleocene from palynology. Organic petrography shows that they are subbituminous coals with some oil source potential.

The Oral Microbiome of King Richard III of England
American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 191, Issue 1, September 2026.ABSTRACT Objectives Metagenomic investigations of ancient dental calculus provide insights into oral health, disease, and diet. Here, we analyze the dental calculus metagenome of King Richard III of England (1452–1485). Materials and Methods Dental calculus DNA was extracted from three teeth of King Richard III and shotgun sequenced to a depth of ...

AI‐assisted identification of stromatoporoids
The Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 4, September 2026.AI models integrating vertical and transverse thin‐section images accurately classify Silurian stromatoporoid taxa, achieving up to 97% accuracy. This dual‐orientation framework mirrors traditional taxonomy, reveals patterns of morphological continuity, and provides a scalable, quantitative approach for advancing automated fossil identification ...

How to Recover Microfossils from Common Iowa Rocks [PDF]
, 1976 The rocks of Iowa contain a great abundance and variety of fossils. Megafossils, those fossils of sufficient size to be seen with the unaided eye, are abundant in many Iowa quarries and roadcuts and are therefore common in most fossil collections of Iowa

The Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 4, September 2026.These findings confirm that the Campanian‐aged Bozbent Member turbiditic sequence in the Eastern Pontides was deposited in an extensional fore‐arc basin and therefore exhibits the petrographic and geochemical characteristics of passive margin sandstones.

Radiolarian micropalaeontology: examining radiolaria under the microscope
, 2010 Professor Simon Haslett discusses examining radiolarian microfossils under the microscope. Radiolaria are marine single-celled organisms that possess a silica shell and are preserved in the fossil record.
