First report of the mitrate Mitrocystella (Echinodermata, Stylophora) in the Middle Ordovician of the Crozon Peninsula, Brittany (France) [PDF]
The mid-Ordovician mitrocystitid mitrate Mitrocystella incipiens was one of the most widespread stylophorans in the high latitude Mediterranean Province, with occurrences in the Armorican Massif (France), the Iberian Peninsula (Portugal and Spain) and ...

Ordovician rafinesquinine brachiopods from peri-Gondwana [PDF]
The study of the strophomenide brachiopods of the subfamily Rafinesquininae present in the main Upper Ordovician sections, representing the Mediterranean margin of Gondwana, has revealed an increase in diversity of the group at the region during that ...

ENHYDROSS: A New Mechanistic Model Supports the Trans-Oceanic Dispersal Capability of Terrestrial Vertebrates. [PDF]
We introduce ENHYDROSS, a new mechanistic model that uses optimal swimming speed and minimum cost of transport to estimate maximum dispersal distances and durations for vertebrates, enabling assessment of long‐distance oceanic dispersal potential. Applied to a range of extant and extinct animals, the model's estimates generally align with observed data;

Mind the uncertainty: Global plate model choice impacts deep‐time palaeobiological studies
Global plate models (GPMs) aim to reconstruct the tectonic evolution of the Earth by modelling the motion of the plates and continents through time. These models enable palaeobiologists to study the past distribution of extinct organisms.

Biostratigraphy of the Ruteh Formation at Harijan section (Central Alborz) northern Iran using foraminifera and conodont [PDF]
In order to study the fossil contents of the Ruteh Formation for biostratigraphical purposes, the 200 meters thick section was sampled at Harijan section, Central Alborz. The sequence is mainly made up of limestone and shale's.

During latest Devonian and early Carboniferous times, calcareous foraminifers were abundant, widely distributed, and showed the most rapid rate of evolution in the shallow-sea deposits. These factors, especially their fast phylogenetic changes, make them
