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.

Seismic characterization of carbonate stringers using machine learning techniques: an example from the western flank of South Oman Salt Basin [PDF]
Carbonate stringers are defined as a slab of carbonate bodies encased inside salt. In Oman, the intra-salt carbonate stringers are a very common target, especially in South Oman Salt Basin (SOSB).

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)

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 ...

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.

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.

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,

The Iranian plateau has a more straightforward relationship between the Paleo-Tethys and Neo-Tethys, than other regions in the Tethyan realm and is an ideal place to test the genetic connection of how the Paleo-Tethys affected the Neo-Tethys.
