Upper lower Cambrian (provisional Cambrian Series 2) trilobites from northwestern Gansu Province, China [PDF]

open access: yesEstonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2014
Upper lower Cambrian (provisional Cambrian Series 2) trilobites are described from three sections through the Shuangyingshan Formation in the Beishan area, northwestern Gansu Province, China. The trilobite fauna is dominated by eodiscoid and corynexochid

Fossils as cultural heritage: Scientific, commercial and legislative issues

open access: yesGeology Today, Volume 42, Issue 5, Page 263-272, September/October 2026.
Fossils are among the principal sources for understanding the history of life through ‘Deep Time’ and can inform projections of biotic responses to environmental change. Despite a widespread recognition of the scientific, historical and communication significance of fossils in our culture, their role as part of our cultural heritage is still far from ...

Raman Line Scan Analyses and a New Hypothesis for the Formation of Anatase‐Hosting Microbialites: Study of the Stromatolites From Saint‐Jean‐de‐la‐Rivière, Cotentin, France

open access: yesJournal of Raman Spectroscopy, Volume 57, Issue 8, Page 1463-1480, August 2026.
Micrometer analysis of millimeter lines of Raman spectra concludes in the association of anatase and graphitized organic matter (graphogen). The photosynthetic microorganisms at the origin of the microbialites produce O2, which is transformed by TiO2 into reactive species that, in turn, decompose the organic matter of the microorganisms. ABSTRACT Raman

Paleomagnetic Constraints on the Separation of the Olongbuluke Block From the North China Block During the Late Cambrian–Middle Ordovician and Its Tectonic Significance

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract The collisional evolution of the micro‐blocks in the northeastern Tibetan Plateau is relatively well constrained. However, the reason why a fragment of the North China Block, the Olongbuluke Block, became separated from North China by the Central Qilian Block (a fragment of the South China Block) remains unclear.

Evidence of Cheliped Autotomy and Regeneration in the Lower Miocene Crab Achelous monspeliensis From Portugal

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Crab autotomy with evidence of regeneration is described for the first time in the fossil record. Autotomy is a defensive behavior that affects more males than females of Achelous monspeliensis and may be related to mating season. ABSTRACT Autotomy—the voluntary shedding of a limb as a defensive response to predation, intraspecific aggression, or ...

A thorny evolution: first Triassic ammonoid with a ventral apertural elongated rostrum

open access: yesPapers in Palaeontology, Volume 12, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Ornamented terminal peristomes are common in ammonoids, but pronounced conch projections are rare, particularly in the Triassic. A new early Spathian assemblage from southeastern Idaho yielded two ammonoid specimens with an impressive terminal mid‐ventral elongated rostrum, documenting the first Triassic occurrence and one of the few ...

Cambrian small shelly fossils from North Greenland (eastern Laurentia; Series 2, Stage 4) with regional and global correlations

open access: yesPapers in Palaeontology, Volume 12, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Cambrian Series 2 represents a key interval for documenting the evolution and diversification of early biomineralized skeletal animals. In this interval, small shelly fossils (SSF) provide an essential archive for regional biostratigraphy and intercontinental correlation.
