Ordovician palaeogeography and climate change
Abstract New palaeogeographical reconstructions for the earlier Ordovician (480 Ma), and later Ordovician (450 Ma) integrate revised longitude-calibrated palaeomagnetic reconstructions and the inclusion of synthetic plate margins within the now-vanished oceanic areas.

THE CARPATHIAN RIVER SYSTEM IN ROMANIA – GENESIS AND EVOLUTION [PDF]
The present Carpathian valley network is the result of a long and complex process synchronous to the evolutionof the Carpathian orographic system during the Cretaceous – Quaternary period. Among other issues, this studyfocuses on the genesis of the great

Predicting ecology and hearing sensitivities in Parapontoporia—An extinct long‐snouted dolphin
Abstract Analyses of the cetacean (whale and dolphin) inner ear provide glimpses into the ecology and evolution of extinct and extant groups. The paleoecology of the long‐snouted odontocete (toothed whale) group, Parapontoporia, is primarily marine with its depositional context also suggesting freshwater tolerance.

During the Late Permian, the rise of the Gondwanides Belt trapped marine waters, giving birth to a vast megalake. This lake shifted between overfilled, balanced‐fill and underfilled stages that are recorded by high‐frequency accommodation changes, while meteorological seiches shaped the sedimentary dynamic and produced heterolithic beds.
