Almost billfish: convergent longirostry, micro‐dentition, and possible glandular sinuses in a large teleost fish from the Upper Cretaceous of Northern Italy

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
A fossil rostrum fragment of a large teleost fish from the Upper Cretaceous of Northern Italy reveals remarkable anatomical convergences with Cenozoic and Recent billfishes (marlins, swordfishes, and akin). The extinct group Plethodidae independently acquired a long snout, micro‐teeth, and oil‐gland sinuses well before the evolution of true billfishes.

Dynamic anoxic ferruginous conditions during the end-Permian mass extinction and recovery

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
The end-Permian mass extinction, ∼252 million years ago, is notable for a complex recovery period of ∼5 Myr. Widespread euxinic (anoxic and sulfidic) oceanic conditions have been proposed as both extinction mechanism and explanation for the protracted ...

Rock‐buffered versus fluid‐buffered geochemistry of structurally controlled, hydrothermal dolomite: Insights from the Sichuan Basin, China

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Structurally controlled hydrothermal dolomitization, commonly driven by high‐pressure, high‐temperature fluid–rock reactions, offers insights into the tectonic evolution of sedimentary basins and the geochemical composition of their diagenetic fluids.

Zircon O- and Hf-isotope constraints on the genesis and tectonic significance of Permian magmatism in Patagonia

open access: yesJournal of the Geological Society, 2017
The genesis of Permian magmatism in southern South America is actively debated, particularly in relation to the origin of Patagonia. U–Pb zircon ages of c.

Sedimentological characterisation is a necessary prerequisite for interpretation of stable carbon isotope ratios of bulk sediment from reefal settings

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For most of Earth history, carbonate sediments deposited in shallow marine settings are the only remaining archive of changing biogeochemical cycles. All deep‐sea sediments older than >200 Ma have been subducted and are therefore lost from the record. Stable carbon isotope (δ13C) values of shallow marine carbonates are available for older time
