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

The 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 ...

Exceptionally preserved Cambrian trilobite digestive system revealed in 3D by synchrotron-radiation X-ray tomographic microscopy. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
The Cambrian 'Orsten' fauna comprises exceptionally preserved and phosphatised microscopic arthropods. The external morphology of these fossils is well known, but their internal soft-tissue anatomy has remained virtually unknown.

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

Tectonics, 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

Geophysical 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.

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

Methods 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.

The evolution of reproduction in Ediacaran–Cambrian metazoans

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 5, Page 2084-2098, October 2025.
ABSTRACT The evolution of reproductive style is a fundamental aspect of metazoan life history but has not been explored holistically through the Ediacaran–Cambrian rise of metazoans. Recent molecular clock analyses based on only unequivocal metazoan fossil calibrations suggest that Porifera were present by at least 590 million years ago (Ma), all major

Trace elements, rare earth elements and isotopes of poorly preserved fossils from lower Cretaceous carbonates (Eastern Black Sea): Implications for early diagenetic alteration

The Depositional Record, Volume 11, Issue 4, Page 1107-1131, September 2025.
Analysing Rare Earth Elements (REEs) and other trace elements together with stable isotope data in poorly preserved belemnites can provide valuable insights into early diagenetic pathways, water‐interaction processes, and even potential redox conditions.

Biostratigraphy and correlation of the Cambrian Series 2 (Stage 4) to Miaolingian (Wuliuan) Thorntonia Limestone, south‐eastern Georgina Basin (Queensland, Australia)

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 11, Issue 5, September/October 2025.
Abstract The Australian Cambrian stratigraphic record is one of the most complete for any continent. However, there is a general division, with older Cambrian rocks in South Australia (predominantly Terreneuvian, Stage 2 to Miaolingian, Wuliuan) and younger rocks in northern Australia (mostly latest Series 2, Stage 4 and younger), with minimal ...
