Climate–carbon-cycle interactions and spatial heterogeneity of the late Triassic Carnian pluvial episode [PDF]
The Carnian Pluvial Episode (CPE; 234–232 million years ago) is an iconic but poorly understood hyperthermal event. Here, we present an integrated high-resolution (~2–10 kyr) multi-proxy record from a Carnian lacustrine succession of the Junggar Basin of

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.

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.

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.

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.
