The Cretaceous/Paleogene (K/Pg) boundary in the Mezdra and Lyutidol syncline, Vratza District (West-Fore Balkan, Bulgaria) [PDF]
This paper discusses the unjustified assignment (based on calcareous nannofossils) of a large portion of the Maastrichtian strata in the Mezdra and Lyutidol synclines (West Fore Balkan, Bulgaria) to the Paleogene.

Chamber-by-Chamber Measurements of Planktonic Foraminiferal Mg, Sr, and Na to Ca Ratios With Femtosecond LA-ICP-MS. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Rationale Distribution patterns of foraminifera are controlled by environmental parameters such as temperature, salinity, and nutrient concentrations in each water mass. Since trace elements to Ca ratios of marine microfossil calcite test of foraminifera record environmental and ecological habitat information, we used femtosecond (fs) LA‐ICP ...

Contribution to the biostratigraphy of the Middle-Upper Eocene rock units at North Eastern Desert; an integrated micropaleontological approach [PDF]
Foraminifera and calcareous nannofossils have been integrated to improve the biostratigraphy of the Middle-Upper Eocene rocks at North Eastern Desert. Biostratigraphic analysis has enabled the identification of three planktic biozones, Globigerinatheka ...

The Osmium Isotope Signature of Phanerozoic Large Igneous Provinces
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.

Calcareous Nannofossils from the Shiranish Formation at Bekhaer anticline, Dhouk area, Northern Iraq
Calcareous nannofossils are examined up on the Shiranish Formation from the Bekhaer anticline in Northern Iraq. The study area includes about 55 meters to find calcareous nannofossils assemblages, from which (36) species have identified.

The Calcium Isotope (δ44/40Ca) Record Through Environmental Changes: Insights From the Late Triassic
Calcium isotopes (δ44/40Ca) are particularly useful in palaeo‐environmental studies due to the key role of carbonate minerals in continental weathering and their formation in seawater.

Two new species of calcareous nannofossils from Jaddala Formation, type section, Northwestern Iraq [PDF]
Two new species are recorded Chiasmolithus Jaddalaensis sp.nov. and Tribrachiatus sinjarensis sp.nov. from surface type section Jaddala Formation (Early- Middle Eocene) that exposed at southern limb of Sinjar anticline, northwestern Iraq.
