A palaeoecological approach to neotectonics : the geomorphic evolution of the Ntem River in and below its interior delta, SW Cameroon [PDF]
The Late Tertiary to Quaternary evolution of the Ntem interior delta in SW Cameroon shall be modelled. A step fault was formed along neotectonically remobilized Precambrian structures.

Development of freeze-thaw processing technique for disaggregation of indurated mudrocks and enhanced recovery of calcareous microfossils [PDF]
Microfossil extraction from indurated mudrocks is widely acknowledged as challenging, especially for foraminifera. Here we report development of the freeze–thaw extraction method through the addition of rapid heating, detergent and ultrasound stages.

Early Miocene silicified limestone from Temma, northwestern Tasmania: further evidence of substantial post-Early Miocene uplift or tilting of Tasmania [PDF]
Silicified shallow-water Early Miocene (Longfordian) marine limestone occurs in altitudes to over 160m, 12km east of Temma in northwestern Tasmania, the highest elevation known to date for rocks of this age and environment of deposition.

Editorial: Geomorphology, palaeoenvironments and geoarchaeology of tropical environments
Geomorphological research on tropical environments has a long tradition in French geomorphology. This research was long centred on the explanation of large morphostructures, in the first half of the 20th century; the renewal of geomorphology occurred through the study of processes of alteration, erosion and accumulation around the world, favouring the ...

Digit-only sauropod pes trackways from China - evidence of swimming or a preservational phenomenon? [PDF]
For more than 70 years unusual sauropod trackways have played a pivotal role in debates about the swimming ability of sauropods. Most claims that sauropods could swim have been based on manus-only or manus-dominated trackways.
