Domed‐rim microbial polygons and their preservation potential

The Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
Microbially induced sedimentary structures (MISS) derive through interactions between minerals and microorganisms. We define a domed‐rim MISS, morphologically distinct from abiotic mud cracks and demonstrate its potential for long‐term preservation. These structures represent promising biosignatures in ancient environments on Earth and potentially Mars.

Bipedalism or bipedalisms: The os coxae of StW 573

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 2, Page 163-183, February 2026.
There has been a long debate about the possibility of multiple contemporaneous species of Australopithecus in both eastern and southern Africa, potentially exhibiting different forms of bipedal locomotion. Here, we describe the previously unreported morphology of the os coxae in the 3.67 Ma Australopithecus prometheus StW 573 from Sterkfontein Member 2

EVIDENCE OF ABSENCE: A CASE STUDY OF EARLY NEOLITHIC HUMAN REMAINS NEAR STONEHENGE WORLD HERITAGE SITE

Oxford Journal of Archaeology, Volume 45, Issue 1, Page 28-49, February 2026.
Summary A presence and absence study was undertaken in the Stonehenge World Heritage Site and around Salisbury to demonstrate the breadth of modern large‐scale archaeological investigation compared to known and recovered Early Neolithic features, especially those containing human remains.

Detecting Biosignatures in Complex Molecular Mixtures From Pyrolysis‐Gas Chromatography‐Mass Spectrometry Data Using Machine Learning

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation
Understanding how measured molecular signals can distinguish the chemistry of life from the chemistry of the nonliving world is a central focus of astrobiology and paleobiology.

The local paleoenvironment of Kalavan‐2 based on small‐vertebrate remains and its implications for human‐environment‐dynamics between 60 and 35 ka in the Armenian Highlands

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 1, Page 153-177, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Kalavan‐2, a high‐altitude (∼1640 m a.s.l.) open‐air site in Armenia, preserves stratified Middle Paleolithic occupations with a rich small‐vertebrate record. Luminescence dating has placed site formation between ~60 and 45 ka, but without independent chronological control of the microvertebrate accumulation.

Assessing vicarious trauma and attitudes toward mental health services for forensic sciences professionals

Journal of Forensic Sciences, Volume 71, Issue 1, Page 13-31, January 2026.
Abstract Research indicates that forensic science professionals operate under significant pressure, the magnitude of which varies depending on their field, workload, case type, tenure, and the evidentiary significance of their testimony in court. This study conducted a needs analysis of forensic science professionals by examining their psychological ...

Chronology and distribution of Pleistocene woolly rhinoceros: A review of the archival data from Poland

Geologos
This work provides a review of the state of knowledge of woolly rhinoceroses in Poland. We compile research results from the 19th century to the present day and consider the collected data not only quantitatively, but above all qualitatively.

Protracted intercontinental aridification preserved within the early Late Cretaceous strata of the Eastern Gobi Basin, Mongolia

Sedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 1, Page 147-185, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Mongolia's Eastern and Western Gobi Basins preserve a globally significant record of Cretaceous terrestrial vertebrates, yet their biostratigraphic correlations are complicated by a complex geological history. The Eastern Gobi Basin, a northeast‐southwest trending fault‐bounded rift system, includes several minor sub‐basins with distinct ...

Taphonomie des ensembles lithiques du Paléolithique moyen en contexte loessique

Les Nouvelles de l’Archéologie, 2009
The periglacial climatic environment affected most of the European Palaeolithic settlements. The dynamic processes, especially produced by frost, have altered distinctive morphology and spatial distribution of lithic artefacts. The possible similarity of
