Tectonics, geology and origins of Te Riu‐a‐Māui / Zealandia

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 68, Issue 4, Page 531-567, December 2025.
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 ...

Ichnological discrimination of hemipelagic‐dominated slope versus basin‐floor mudstones: Insights from early Viséan successions of a distally steepened ramp, northern Iran

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, Volume 11, Issue 5, Page 1563-1595, November 2025.
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]

open access: yesEstonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2014
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]

open access: yes, 2003
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

Geometry and Kinematics of the Hormuz Salt at Jebel Al Dhanna, United Arab Emirates: Implications for Salt Tectonics and Subsurface Storage

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 44, Issue 11, November 2025.
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

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 20, 28 October 2025.
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]

open access: yes, 2001
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.

The crucial role of meshing in computational fluid dynamics simulations for organic geometries in paleobiology: Describing fluid dynamics performance through best practices

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, Page 2170-2194, October 2025.
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.
