The Osmium Isotope Signature of Phanerozoic Large Igneous Provinces
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.

Tectonic history of the South Tannuol Fault Zone (Tuva region of the northern Central Asian Orogenic Belt, Russia) : constraints from multi-method geochronology [PDF]
In this study, we present zircon U/Pb, plagioclase and K-feldspar Ar-40/Ar-39 and apatite fission track (AFT) data along the South Tannuol Fault Zone (STFZ).

Paleozoic magmatism in the southwest of Julfa (northwestern Iran): geochemical characteristics, U-Pb dating and tectonic setting [PDF]
Extensive sedimentary- igneous rock associations of Paleozoic age crop out in southwest of Julfa (northwest of Iran). Geochemically, the igneous rocks display various basic to acidic compositions.

Zn-Pb-Cu sulfide-bearing glacial sandstone erratics near Raahe on the western coast of Finland: Indicators of Paleozoic base metal mineralization at the bottom of the Bothnian Bay [PDF]
Over the past tens of years, glacial sandstone erratics variably enriched in Zn, Pb and Cu have been collected from the coast south of Raahe, but their source has remained ambiguous.

A new middle Cambrian trilobite with a specialized cephalon from Shandong Province, North China [PDF]
Trilobites achieved their maximum generic diversity in the Cambrian, but the peak of morphological disparity of their cranidia occurred in the Middle to Late Ordovician. Early to middle Cambrian trilobites with a specialized cephalon are rare, especially

Accretionary Tectonics of the North American Cordillera [PDF]
Continental geology stands on the threshold of a change that is likely to be as fundamental as plate-tectonic theory was for marine geology. Ongoing seismic-reflection investigations into the deep crustal structure of North America are verifying that ...

Evolution of prototype basin and change of tectonic-sedimentary pattern in Paleozoic, Ordos Basin
The Ordos Basin is a craton basin developed based on the Precambrian rift system during Permian. It has experienced two stages of evolution including the Early Paleozoic craton marginal depression and Late Paleozoic intra-craton depression.
