A perspective from the Mesozoic: Evolutionary changes of the mammalian skull and their influence on feeding efficiency and high‐frequency hearing

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 9, Page 2315-2330, September 2026.
Abstract The complex evolutionary history behind modern mammalian chewing performance and hearing function is a result of several changes in the entire skeletomuscular system of the skull and lower jaw. Lately, exciting multifunctional 3D analytical methods and kinematic simulations of feeding functions in both modern and fossil mammals and their ...

Multi‐proxy sequence stratigraphy of a mixed carbonate–siliciclastic shelf across the Jurassic–Cretaceous transition

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 4, September 2026.
An integrated facies, MS and XRF‐based approach applied to the Tithonian–Berriasian Sidi Khalif Formation (central Tunisia) resolves five Tithonian and eight Berriasian third‐order sequences, showing how mixed carbonate–siliciclastic shelves record coupled eustatic, climatic and tectonic controls and providing a transferable template for similar mud ...

How life affects mineral formation: A reappraisal of concepts and terminology

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 4, September 2026.
We present a moderately revised terminology of concepts how life may influence mineral formation. This framework would be more consistent and universally applicable. Abstract Numerous biological factors have been proposed to influence the formation of minerals under Earth‐surface conditions, but the underlying concepts are often confused due to ...

Provenance of Middle Triassic sediments in the Southern Youjiang Basin: Insights from detrital zircon geochronology and tourmaline geochemistry

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 4, September 2026.
Middle Triassic turbidites in the Youjiang Basin were chiefly derived from a Late Palaeozoic continental arc along the southeastern South China Block, as revealed by detrital zircon U–Pb geochronology and tourmaline geochemistry, supporting a tectonic model driven by Paleo‐Pacific subduction rather than Paleo‐Tethyan closure.

Geochemistry of low‐temperature dolomite formation in coastal and continental saline to sabkha‐like environments

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 4, September 2026.
This study compares primary dolomite precipitation in modern and ancient environments, varying from coastal to transitional to continental saline environments. The microbially mediated dolomites are characterised by high Sr concentrations. Here, various geochemical proxies are studied and compared to previous findings.
