Tectonics, geology and origins of Te Riu‐a‐Māui / Zealandia
ABSTRACT Te Riu‐a‐Māui / Zealandia is a 95% submerged, five million square km southern hemisphere continent that includes the islands of New Zealand and New Caledonia. For the last 45 million years (Ma) Zealandia has been cut by the Pacific‐Australian plate boundary which today changes character from a west‐dipping subduction zone in the north to ...

This study integrates sedimentological and ichnological data to reveal the depositional processes and environmental conditions of deep‐water muddy gravity flows in the Mobarak Formation. It highlights distinct ichnocoenoses and bioturbation patterns, offering insights into basin‐floor versus slope mudstones and their implications for hydrocarbon ...

Cruziana traces from the Late Silurian (Pridoli) carbonate shelf of Saaremaa, Estonia [PDF]
Late Pridoli Cruziana traces have recently been found in carbonate shelf sediments of the Ohesaare Formation on Saaremaa Island, Estonia. Cruziana isp. is interpreted here as a locomotory trace (repichnia) of an arthropod, possibly a trilobite.

Late Cambrian acritarchs from the Santa Rosita Formation: implications for the Cambrian-Ordovician boundary in the eastern Cordillera of northwest Argentina [PDF]
Marine phytoplankton from the Late Cambrian are described for the first time in the Eastern Cordillera of northwest Argentina. The acritarch assemblage was recovered from an offshore lower mudstone unit towards the base of the Casa Colorada Member (Santa

Abstract The United Arab Emirates government is assessing the potential of Hormuz Salt domes for subsurface storage, aligning with the transition toward clean energy systems and carbon reduction goals. However, the geometry, kinematics, and halokinetic evolution of these salt structures remain poorly constrained.

Orbitally‐Driven Nutrient Pulses Linked to Early Cambrian Periodic Oxygenation and Animal Radiation
Abstract During the Cambrian Explosion, episodic radiations of major animal phyla occurred in concert with repeated coupled carbon‐sulfur isotope excursions. These isotope patterns are thought to reflect oscillations in atmospheric and shallow‐marine O2, which promoted animal diversification events. However, the driver for oxygenation pulses is unclear.

Late Middle Cambrian trilobites from Trial Ridge, southwestern Tasmania [PDF]
The first Middle Cambrian trilobites to be described from southwestern Tasmania come from two localities within siltstone in the Trial Ridge area on the HUNTLEY 1:50 000 sheet. Sixteen trilobite taxa are described.

Abstract Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has become an essential tool for studying fluid interactions in biological systems. While widely used in engineering, its application in the natural sciences, particularly in paleobiology, remains limited due to the challenges of meshing complex organic geometries.
