Tectono‐Sedimentary Evolution of the Neogene İnegöl Basin (NW Anatolia): Constraints on Transtensional Basin Development at the Junction of the Western Anatolian Extensional Province and the North Anatolian Fault Zone

Geological Journal, EarlyView.
The study outlines the tectono‐sedimentary evolution of the İnegöl Basin in north‐western Anatolia. Basin formation was controlled by interacting extensional and strike‐slip fault systems linked to uplift of the Uludağ Massif. Terrestrial sedimentation from the Miocene to Pleistocene is reconstructed using abundant fossil mammal assemblages that ...

First occurrences of Trionychidae (Testudines, Cryptodira) from the Miocene of Poland: Detailed cranial anatomy and biogeographic implications

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 249, Issue 2, Page 314-337, August 2026.
Fossil finds from three Middle Miocene sites in Poland reveal the northernmost known presence of trionychid turtles in Europe, tentatively identified as Trionyx cf. vindobonensis, suggesting a warmer climate that supported thermophilic species in Central Europe during this period. Abstract Modern trionychids (Testudines, Cryptodira) have a pan‐tropical

Late Mesozoic marine Antarctic fishes: future perspectives based on the newly collections recovered in the Ameghino and López de Bertodano Formations [PDF]

Research & Knowledge, 2017
Nowadays, notothenioids are the teleostean group that dominates marine Antarctic waters. However, during the Mesozoic a diverse ichthyofauna inhabited the sea that surrounded Antarctic.

New records of extinct Icacinaceae from Paleocene rainforests of northwestern South America

American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Premise This study describes three new records of Icacinaceae—Punctiuga bachue gen. et sp. nov., Palaeophytocrene paramoae sp. nov., and Goweria bacatana sp. nov. from the Paleocene (Selandian–Thanetian) Bogotá Formation in Colombia—improving understanding of the distribution and evolution of this family in the Neotropics.

Phylogenetic paleobiogeography of Late Ordovician Laurentian brachiopods [PDF]

Estonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2014
Phylogenetic biogeographic analysis of four brachiopod genera was used to uncover large-scale geologic drivers of Late Ordovician biogeographic differentiation in Laurentia. Previously generated phylogenetic hypotheses were converted into area cladograms,

Geological Revolutions in the Late 20th and Early 21st Centuries: Plate Tectonics, Extraterrestrial Impacts, and Snowball Earth

Natural Sciences, Volume 6, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT During the late 20th and early 21st century three conceptual revolutions reordered our understanding of the history of the Earth: The spread of plate tectonic theory from the 1960s onward which brought geology the first meaningful theory for building mountains and the migration of continents; the rebirth of catastrophism in 1980 with the ...

The genus Coryphodon in Europe: contribution of new exceptional material from Le Quesnoy (northern France, early Eocene, MP7)

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 12, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Pantodonts are an extinct group of herbivorous eutherian mammals. They comprise 8 families and 23 genera, ranging from the early Paleocene to the late Eocene, including Bemalambda, Barylambda, Titanoides, or Pantolambda. In Europe, only one genus is known, Coryphodon, represented by three species: C. eocaenus, C. anthracoideus and C.

A remarkable radiolarian assemblage from the Csővár area (Hungary) improves biostratigraphical correlation of the Rhaetian

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 12, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract In the Csővár area of north‐central Hungary a remarkably well‐preserved Rhaetian radiolarian fauna, in which conodonts were also found, has enabled the identification of 49 radiolarian species belonging to 35 genera. The fauna is dominated by the orders Spumellaria and Entactinaria over less diverse Nassellaria.

The present-day Mediterranean brachiopod fauna: diversity, life habits, biogeography and paleobiogeography

Scientia Marina, 2004
The present-day brachiopods from the Mediterranean Sea were thoroughly described by nineteenth-century workers, to the extent that Logan´s revision in 1979 listed the same 11 species as Davidson, almost 100 years earlier.

Quantitative analysis of palaeoecological features and paleobiogeographic setting of brachiopod fauna in the Julfa Formation (Early Lopingian), northwest Iran [PDF]

Journal of Stratigraphy and Sedimentology Researches, 2018
Introduction Lopingian succession in the vicinity of Julfa (East Azerbaijan Province, NW Iran) have been known for a long time among the most fossiliferous sections in the south of Paleotethys, especially those of the Ali Bashi Mountains (Stepanov et al ...
