Petrology and geochemistry of volcanic and subvolcanic rocks in the south of Asagi igneous complex, northwest of Zahedan, Sistan Suture Zone [PDF]
IntroductionThe Asagi igneous complex is located in the northwest of Zahedan city (Figure 1A) and is part of a southeast–northwest trending magmatic belt. The igneous rocks of this belt were formed during at least two distinct periods.

Antarctic ice sheet and oceanographic response to eccentricity forcing during the early Miocene [PDF]
Stable isotope records of benthic foraminifera from ODP Site 1264 in the southeastern Atlantic Ocean are presented which resolve the latest Oligocene to early Miocene (~24–19 Ma) climate changes at high temporal resolution (<3 kyr).

Provenance Response to Rifting and Separation at the Jan Mayen Microcontinent Margin
The Eocene-Miocene successions recovered at DSDP sites on the Jan Mayen Ridge (NE Atlantic) and on the adjacent East Greenland margin provide a sedimentary record of the rifting and separation of the Jan Mayen Microcontinent from East Greenland.

Cementation scenarios for New Zealand Cenozoic nontropical limestones [PDF]
Cenozoic limestones are widely distributed in New Zealand, especially in the Oligocene-earliest Miocene in both islands, and the Pliocene-Pleistocene in North Island.

Geochemical expression of early diagenesis in middle Eocene-lower Oligocene pelagic sediments in the Southern Labrador Sea, Site 647, ODP Leg 105 [PDF]
Geochemical analyses of the middle Eocene through lower Oligocene lithologic Unit IIIC (260-518 meters below sea floor [mbsf]) indicate a relatively constant geochemical composition of the detrital fraction throughout this depositional interval at Ocean ...

Oligocene moisture variations as evidenced by an aeolian dust sequence in Inner Mongolia, China
The aridification of Central Asia since the Eocene has widespread evidence, but climate-controlled environmental reorganizations during the Oligocene remain ambiguous.

Discriminating cool-water from warm-water carbonates and their diagenetic environments using element geochemistry: the Oligocene Tikorangi Formation (Taranaki Basin) and the dolomite effect [PDF]
Fields portrayed within bivariate element plots have been used to distinguish between carbonates formed in warm- (tropical) water and cool- (temperate) water depositional settings.

Tracheal chambers as a key innovation for high‐frequency emission in bat echolocation
Abstract Key innovations are pivotal for biodiversity and facilitating evolutionary success, enabling organisms' adaptation to various ecological niches through the diversification of phenotypic traits. In mammals, notable adaptations include evolving hypsodonty for grazing on grasses and, for bats, evolving echolocation and wing acquisition.
