Oldest Cretaceous latimeriid elucidates cranial evolution in derived and extant coelacanths (Actinistia, Latimeriidae)

open access: yesPapers in Palaeontology, Volume 12, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract The fossil record of coelacanths (Actinistia) is diminished by several nominal gaps that obscure vital information pertaining to the clade's evolutionary history. Latimeriidae, the family that includes the extant coelacanth Latimeria, in addition to the Cenozoic, has an outstanding missing gap of 50 myr during the Mesozoic, with no records of ...

Pockmarks, Mud Volcanoes and Hydrocarbon Seeps in the Northern Gulf of Mexico: Trends and Controls on Widespread Fluid and Gas Venting

open access: yesBasin Research, Volume 38, Issue 2, March–April 2026.
Basin‐scale dataset reveals widespread hydrocarbon venting at the seafloor in the northern Gulf of Mexico. Hydrocarbon release at the seafloor is related to the occurrence of the underlying Louann salt and the gas hydrate stability zone. ABSTRACT The release of hydrocarbons, pore water and fluidized sediments impacts seafloor morphology, marine ...
