Bermuda patch reefs development was primarily controlled by massive coral framework construction, and variation in environmental energy, turbidity and bioerosion. These factors shaped the size, diversity and preservation of the framework, leading to a suppressed, steady vertical accretion.

Birth, life and death of the Pannonian Lake [PDF]
The Miocene-Pliocene Pannonian Lake formed in an extensional basin system behind the compressional arc of the Carpathians. Its size and depth were comparable to those of the Caspian Sea.

Anomalously cool clumped isotope temperatures in tropical lagoon carbonates
Carbonate clumped isotopes were used to reconstruct paleoclimate from lagoon sediments in the central tropical Pacific. Results were anomalously cool compared to modern measurements and other paleoclimate records. This study highlights the important of understanding carbonate facies and depositional environments in interpreting clumped isotope results.

Stratigraphy and development of the Late Miocene-Early Pleistocene Hawke’s Bay forearc basin [PDF]
A Late Miocene-Early Pleistocene mixed carbonate-siliciclastic sedimentary succession about 2 500 m thick in the Hawke’s Bay forearc basin is the focus of a basin analysis. The area under investigation covers 3 500 km2 of western and central Hawke’s Bay.

The data and interpretations of this study are used to test the proposal by Goldhammer et al. that a ‘stratigraphy of early diagenesis’ is operational in carbonate depositional systems. What this means is that distinct mineralogical and geochemical changes to rock and sediment occur associated with external controls, such as the rise and fall of sea ...

26Al/10Be Age of Peking Man [PDF]
The chronological position of Peking Man, or Homo erectus pekinensis, has long been pursued, but has remained problematic due to lack of a suitable dating method^1-7^.

Response and Recovery of the Comanche Carbonate Platform Surrounding Multiple Cretaceous Oceanic Anoxic Events, Northern Gulf of Mexico [PDF]
The ubiquity of carbonate platforms throughout the Cretaceous Period is recognized as a product of high eustatic sea-level and a distinct climatic optimum induced by rapid sea-floor spreading and elevated levels of atmospheric carbon-dioxide.

Influence of environment and mineralogy on euendolithic microboring patterns
Field experiments at Little Ambergris Cay reveal that euendolithic microorganisms preferentially bore carbonate substrates based on mineralogy, sea water saturation and trace metal content. Results highlight night‐time dissolution activity and mineralogical preferences, shedding light on the ecological and evolutionary drivers of bioerosion and their ...
