The Osmium Isotope Signature of Phanerozoic Large Igneous Provinces
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.

The evolution of the Tethys Ocean has received much research attention; however, the timing and subduction mechanisms involved in the closure of the Bangong-Nujiang Meso-Tethys Ocean remain poorly constrained.

Biomineralization is a generic term used to indicate biological‐mediated mineral formation. In carbonate mineralization, nucleation of crystals can be: (1) controlled directly by the organisms, like in the skeletal formation of most metazoans; (2) induced by microbial communities, by indirect precipitation mediated by their metabolic activities; or (3)

Sedimentology and Diagenesis of the Early–Middle Eocene Carbonate Deposits of the Ceno-Tethys Ocean
An integrated study based on field observation, petrography, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) on the Early–Middle Eocene carbonate rocks has been carried out, which were deposited in the Ceno-Tethys Ocean. The study area of the Yadgaar Section lies

As relics of oceanic lithosphere, ophiolites exposed in the East Kunlun region are crucial for deciphering the evolution from the Proto-Tethys to the Paleo-Tethys.

PALEOBIOGEOGRAPHY OF SOME EGYPTIAN AND PAKISTANIAN BENTHIC FORAMINIFERAL SPECIES IN THE NORTHERN TETHYS [PDF]
Twenty-one benthic foraminiferal species were originally erected from the Southern Tethys, 13 species from Egypt, and 8 species from Pakistan. Some of these species were recorded from different localities in the Northern Tethys: France, Spain, Italy ...

A new clupeid fish from the upper Miocene of Greece: A possible Hilsa relative from the Mediterranean [PDF]
Much remains to be learned about the past diversity and evolutionary history of the Clupeidae (herrings, shads and allies), owing to the frequently subtle differences between modern taxa and the moderate preservational quality of some fossils.

Mercury deposition in Western Tethys during the Carnian Pluvial Episode (Late Triassic)
The Late Triassic Carnian Pluvial Episode (CPE) was a time of biological turnover and environmental perturbations. Within the CPE interval, C-isotope and sedimentary records indicate multiple pulses of depleted carbon into the atmosphere–ocean system ...

PALEONTOLOGY, STRATIGRAPHY, PALEOENVIRONMENT AND PALEOGEOGRAPHY OF SIXTY-THREE CAMPANIAN-NEOGENE TETHYAN BENTHIC FORAMINIFERAL GENERA AND SPECIES OF ANAN B- SUBORDER LAGENINA [PDF]
This study represents the second part of the erected assemblage of benthic foraminiferal genera and species of Anan, which related to the Suborder Lagenina, after the first part which belongs to the taxa of the Suborders Textulariina and Miliolina (Anan,
