REFINED STRATIGRAPHICAL AND BIOCHRONOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK OF PALEOGENE SUCCESSIONS IN THE NORTHWEST ARABIAN PLATE

open access: yesRivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia
This study updates the lithostratigraphic and chronostratigraphic framework of the marine carbonate-dominated Paleogene strata of northwestern Saudi Arabia within the Sirhan–Turayf Basin by integrating detailed field observations and high-resolution ...

Tracing the origins and evolution of nymphalid butterflies (Lepidoptera) in the Atlantic Forest

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Understanding the relative roles of diversification and dispersal is key to explaining large‐scale biogeographical patterns. Although both processes are known to shape biodiversity, their relative contributions remain understudied for many organisms. Here, we examine how these processes have jointly contributed to the exceptional diversity and endemism

Neogene stratigraphic architecture and tectonic evolution of Wanganui, King Country, and eastern Taranaki Basins, New Zealand

open access: yes, 2004
Analysis of the stratigraphic architecture of the fills of Wanganui, King Country, and eastern Taranaki Basins reveals the occurrence of five 2nd order Late Paleocene and Neogene sequences of tectonic origin.

New Insights Into Hikurangi Subduction Inputs and Megathrust Host Rocks Spanning Along‐Margin Changes in Fault Slip Behavior

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The seismic behavior of subduction megathrusts varies spatially and is influenced by the properties of subducting plates, including their sedimentary cover. Characterizing these subduction inputs is essential for understanding the mechanisms behind fault slip variability.

Eastward Growth of the Tibetan Plateau Linked to Cenozoic Orogenic Wedge Deformation and Fluctuating Melt Sources

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The India–Asia collision continuously loads the Tibetan Plateau (TP), driving its Cenozoic eastward growth. This process has caused extensive crustal deformation and a diverse magmatic response. Here, we report on newly identified 35−6.5 Ma granitoids from Kangding area in southeastern (SE) TP.

Basement Geometry and Cover‐Basement Relationships in the Central‐Western Jaca‐Pamplona Basin (Southern Pyrenees): Along‐Strike Variations and Role of Structural Inheritance

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 45, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract This study presents a detailed, geometrical characterization of the central‐western domain of the Jaca‐Pamplona Basin based on a combined interpretation of seismic and surface data and the construction of four serial cross‐sections. For the studied portion of the basin, our results highlight that the basement is notably folded and faulted and ...

Larger foraminiferal and coralline algal benthic communities of Upper Eocene and Upper Oligocene carbonates: responses to different trophic resources.

open access: yes, 2005
Trophic gradients in shallow water carbonate settings from Late Eocene to Late Oligocene are detected by using larger foraminiferal and coralline algal assemblages.

Foreland Flexure and Lower Crustal Flow as Controls on Cenozoic Subsidence Anomalies in the Zengmu (Sarawak) Basin, South China Sea

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 45, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract While the evolution of individual passive marginal and foreland basins is well understood, the subsidence pattern of passive margins near convergence zones—where thrust loading overprints earlier extension and the typical wedge and foredeep are obscured—remains poorly understood.

Accretionary Prism and Forearc Deformation Driven by the Beata Ridge Indentation in Southern Hispaniola: Insights From the Offshore San Pedro Basin

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The Cretaceous–Eocene island arc of Hispaniola is currently shortened between the Bahamas carbonate platform to the north and the thickened crust of the Caribbean Large Igneous Province (CLIP) to the south. Within this transpressional setting, the 15–22‐km‐thick, ∼100‐km‐wide Beata Ridge (BR), the thickest portion of the CLIP, acts as a ...
