Bahaman patch reefs: Numerous and neglected
The Depositional Record, EarlyView.Abstract Phanerozoic patch reefs are extensively studied because they are abundant and are potential reservoirs for valuable fluids. In contrast, geologic studies of modern reefs have largely focused on platform margins, leaving patch reefs comparatively neglected. What conditions favour patch‐reef development?

Water pathways and ancient lakes: Flowing towards new models to unravel the past
The Depositional Record, EarlyView.Abstract Significant progress has been made in understanding lake basin evolution through climatic and tectonic changes using sedimentology, sequence stratigraphy, geochemistry, hydrology and watershed characteristics to interpret three main lake basin types: overfilled, balanced‐fill and underfilled, including fluvio‐lacustrine systems.

The Depositional Record, EarlyView.The article demonstrates that brine was central for the supply of Ca and B to the studied saline lake. The ion transport occurred probably by thermal springs, while contributions from surface waters cannot be excluded. However, the saturation and syndepositional precipitation of Ca borates were initiated by an arid climate through evaporation, while ...
