Testing the success of palaeontological methods in the delimitation of clam shrimp (Crustacea, Branchiopoda) on extant species
(Palaeontology, 2023-01-16)Fossil spinicaudatan taxonomy heavily relies on carapace features (size, shape, ornamentation) and palaeontologists have greatly refined methods to study and describe carapace variability. Whether carapace features alone ... -
Fossilized soft tissues in Palaeozoic bryozoans
(Papers in Palaeontology, 2023-02-23)Thin sections of three Palaeozoic bryozoans reveal fossilized soft tissues that show the position of organic cuticle and internal structures such as the membranous sac and gut. The fossilization occurred apparently due to ... -

Microbial biosignatures in ancient deep‐sea hydrothermal sulfides
(Geobiology, 2022-12-16)Deep‐sea hydrothermal systems provide ideal conditions for prebiotic reactions and ancient metabolic pathways and, therefore, might have played a pivotal role in the emergence of life. To understand this role better, it ... -
Palaeoecological analysis of maximum flooding zones from the Tithonian (Upper Jurassic) of the Kachchh Basin, western India
(Facies, 2020-12-24)The siliciclastic Jhuran Formation of the Kachchh Basin, a rift basin bordering the Malagasy Seaway, documents the filling of the basin during the late syn-rift stage. The marine, more than 700-m-thick Tithonian part of ... -
Microbial-, fusulinid limestones with large gastropods and calcareous algae: an unusual facies from the Early Permian Khao Khad Formation of Central Thailand
(Facies, 2020-07-14)The Early Permian (Kungurian) Khao Khad Formation of Central Thailand consists mostly of carbonates deposited on the western margin of the Indochina Terrane. This formation has yielded unusual microbial-fusulinid limestones ... -
Depth-distribution of lake benthic diatom assemblages in relation to light availability and substrate: implications for paleolimnological studies
(Journal of Paleolimnology, 2020-06-25)We analyzed the depth distributions of benthic diatoms in two adjacent, but hydrologically distinct subalpine lakes (Lakes Soiernseen, S-Germany). Lake Unterer Soiernsee is affected by marked water-level fluctuations and ... -
Genetic and morphologic determination of diatom community composition in surface sediments from glacial and thermokarst lakes in the Siberian Arctic
(Journal of Paleolimnology, 2020-05-30)Lakes cover large parts of the climatically sensitive Arctic landscape and respond rapidly to environmental change. Arctic lakes have different origins and include the predominant thermokarst lakes, which are small, young ... -
