“Flames Over Persepolis”: New Scientific Evidence Supporting Historical Perspectives

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the burning of Persepolis Terrace, historically attributed to Alexander III in 330 bce. A review of classical accounts and excavation reports, combined with diagnostic surveys, confirms the fire's historicity and provides novel insights.

Palaeoenvironmental evolution of the Baltic Sea basin during the Last Interglacial (Eemian, Mikulino stages): a review

Boreas, EarlyView.
This review presents an investigation of the evolution of the Baltic Sea basin and its connections through the Eemian Stage, based upon sequences of marine and associated deposits from the White Sea to the Southwest Baltic, via the Karelian channel. Pollen analyses, foraminiferal and ostracod analyses provide the evolution of relative sea‐level change,

Planktonic Foraminifera Biostratigraphy Of Taeno Limestone, Ambon, Maluku Province, Indonesia

JGEET: Journal of Geoscience, Engineering, Environment and Technology
The limestone became exposed to the surface because of an uplift event during the Quaternary period. This study aims to determine the age of limestone outcrops in the Taeno Traverse using planktonic foraminifera.

Upper Oligocene to Pleistocene planktonic foraminifera stratigraphy at North Atlantic DSDP Site 407, Reykjanes Ridge: diversity trends and biozonation using modern Neogene taxonomic concepts [PDF]

Journal of Micropalaeontology
Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP) Site 407, located near the Reykjanes Ridge (southwest of Iceland) offers a rare and extensive record of Late Cenozoic planktonic foraminifera evolution spanning the Neogene and Quaternary periods. This ca.

Bioluminescence of the heterotrophic dinoflagellate Polykrikos kofoidii Chatton 1914 (Dinophyceae)

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Heterotrophic dinoflagellates are important predators of phytoplankton, and many species produce bioluminescence, which is thought to serve as an antipredator function. The present study investigated the bioluminescence of the heterotrophic dinoflagellate Polykrikos kofoidii, an important predator of toxic and bloom‐forming dinoflagellates ...

Foraminifera associated with cold seeps in marine sediments

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Cold seep foraminifera have attracted considerable attention as they provide valuable insights into the study of cold seeps. This study provides a comprehensive overview of the manifestations of foraminifera in cold seep environments and methane seepage ...

Palaeobathymetry of the Abderaz Formation using foraminifera, Iran [PDF]

, 2009
Abderaz Formation at its type section with an age of Turonian-early Campanian and a thickness of 300 m contains light grey shale and marl. The study of the planktonic foraminifera in isolated form led to differentiate three morphotype groups.

Sedimentary biogeochemical provinces in the northern limit of the oxygen minimum zone from the northeastern Mexican Pacific

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Continental margins are reservoirs of materials of terrestrial and marine origin, and they play a crucial role in understanding the spatial and temporal variability of biogeochemical cycles. This, in turn, provides insights into the development and intensity of oxygen minimum zones (OMZs).
