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.

Plant macrofossils, ichnofossils, facies analysis and palaeoenvironment interpretation of the Hojedk Formation in the north of Kerman (Central Iran) [PDF]
This study led to identify 30 species and 16 genera of eight different plant macrofossils orders including Equisetales, Cycadales, Bennettitales, Coniferales, Peltaspermales, Ginkgoales, Corystospermales, and Filicales at the Deh-Shiykh section, north of

Cenozoic plant macrofossil sites ofTasmania [PDF]
Tasmania has an outstanding Cenozoic plant fossil record, including several sites of international significance. This paper provides a compendium of macrofossil sites and associated literature. Macrofossils (leaves, fruit, flowers, wood) are known from 59 sites, ranging from Early Eocene to Late Pleistocene in age. Most are Palaeogene to early Neogene,

Characterisation of Holocene plant macrofossils from North Spanish ombrotrophic mires: bryophytes [PDF]
The methods and criteria used for the identification of bryophytes from the peat deposits of four ombrotrophic mires in northern Spain are presented. Two liverworts and fifteen moss taxa were recorded.

Early Eocene plant macrofossils from the Booval Basin, Dinmore, near Brisbane, Queensland
Early Eocene plant macrofossils are documented from Dinmore in the Redbank Plains Formation within the Booval Basin, west of Brisbane, Australia. It is one of the few Cenozoic Australian fossil macrofloras occurring outside the south-eastern corner ...

Messinian vegetation and climate of the intermontane Florina–Ptolemais–Servia Basin, NW Greece inferred from palaeobotanical data: how well do plant fossils reflect past environments? [PDF]
The late Miocene is marked by pronounced environmental changes and the appearance of strong temperature and precipitation seasonality. Although environmental heterogeneity is to be expected during this time, it is challenging to reconstruct ...
