Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Biostratigraphy of the Pabdeh Formation in the Parsi Oil Field (Dezful Embayment, South-West Iran) [PDF]
In order to study biostratigraphy and the determination of biozonation in the Pabdeh Formation based on the new planktonic foraminifera biozonation in the Tethys region, one subsurface section in well 1 of the Parsi Oil Field was selected in the southern

New Paleogene mantises from the Oise amber and their evolutionary importance [PDF]
Mantodea are rather scarce in the fossil record, especially those belonging to the mantise crown group. Four fossil mantids are described from the lowermost Eocene amber of Oise (France), two Chaeteessidae considered as “genus and species incertae sedis”,

Biological evolution of the carbonate platform of the Taleh Zang Formation in Kermanshah region [PDF]
In this paper, the biological evolution of the carbonate platform of the Taleh Zang Formation with Paleocene age in the Kermanshah region has been investigated in two stages (time interval) concentrating on fossil debris (such as algae, corals, and ...
