A shallow-water oxygen minimum zone in an oligotrophic Tonian basin [PDF]
The Tonian Period (1000–720 Ma) bore witness to the transition from a prokaryote-dominated marine ecosystem to one characterized by the proliferation of eukaryotes.

Strontium isotope stratigraphy: LOWESS version 3: best fit to the marine Sr-isotope curve for 0-509 Ma and accompanying look-up table for deriving numerical age [PDF]
An improved and updated version of the statistical LOWESS fit to the marine 87Sr/86Sr record and a revised look-up table (V3:10/99; available from j.mcarthur@ucl.ac.uk) based upon it enables straightforward conversion of 87Sr/86Sr to numerical age, and ...

Seismogenic potential and tsunami threat of the strike-slip Carboneras fault in the western Mediterranean from physics-based earthquake simulations [PDF]
Strike-slip fault ruptures have a limited capacity to generate vertical deformation, and for this reason they are usually dismissed as potential destructive tsunami sources.

Biostratigraphy of large benthic foraminifera from the lower part of the Shahbazan Formation: revision of the age of the carbonate succession from the Tange Lilam section (Chenareh Anticline, Lorestan Basin) [PDF]
In this study, the lower part of carbonate successions from the Shahbazan Formation in the Chenareh anticline of the Zagros sedimentary basin (SW of Iran) based on Large Benthic Foraminifera (LBF) was investigated.

Darriwilian Saucrorthis Fauna: implications for the Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event (GOBE) [PDF]
The Saucrorthis Fauna is a brachiopod-dominated shelly fauna developed in relatively deeper-water benthic regimes of a few peri-Gondwana terranes (e.g.

The Llandovery (Silurian) conodont species diversity on the Upper Yangtze Platform, South China [PDF]
Conodonts are one of the stratigraphically most important fossil groups in the Silurian Period. We examine the regional diversity dynamics of the Llandovery condonts on the Upper Yangtze Platform.

Stochastic resetting by a random amplitude [PDF]
Stochastic resetting, a diffusive process whose amplitude is "reset" to the origin at random times, is a vividly studied strategy to optimize encounter dynamics, e.g., in chemical reactions. We here generalize the resetting step by introducing a random resetting amplitude, such that the diffusing particle may be only partially reset towards the ...
