First high resolution chronostratigraphy for the early North African Acheulean at Casablanca (Morocco)
The onset of the Acheulean, marked by the emergence of large cutting tools (LCTs), is considered a major technological advance in the Early Stone...

Earliest evidence of human occupations and technological complexity above the 45th North parallel in Western Europe. The site of Lunery-Rosieres la-Terre-des-Sablons (France, 1.1 Ma)
The site of LuneryRosieres la-Terre-des-Sablons (Lunery, Cher, France) comprises early evidence of human occupation in mid-latitudes in Western...

A pan-European dataset revealing variability in lithic technology, toolkits, and artefact shapes ~15-11 kya
Comparative macro-archaeological investigations of the human deep past rely on the availability of unified, quality-checked datasets integrating...

New Permian radiolarians from east Asia and the quantitative reconstruction of their evolutionary and ecological significances
The biostratigraphically important Permian radiolarian genera Pseudoalbaillella sensu stricto and Follicucullus (Follicucullidae, Polycystinea) are...

Six-fold increase of atmospheric pCO2 during the Permian–Triassic mass extinction
The Permian–Triassic mass extinction was marked by a massive release of carbon into the ocean-atmosphere system, evidenced by a sharp negative carbon...

Anchoring the Late Devonian mass extinction in absolute time by integrating climatic controls and radio-isotopic dating
The Devonian Frasnian–Famennian (F–F) boundary marks one of the five main extinction intervals of the Phanerozoic Aeon. This time was characterized...

Permafrost in the Cretaceous supergreenhouse
Earth’s climate during the last 4.6 billion years has changed repeatedly between cold (icehouse) and warm (greenhouse) conditions. The hottest...

Multi-proxy evidence for sea level fall at the onset of the Eocene-Oligocene transition
Continental-scale expansion of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet during the Eocene-Oligocene Transition (EOT) is one of the largest non-linear events in...

Oldest leaf mine trace fossil from East Asia provides insight into ancient nutritional flow in a plant–herbivore interaction
The Late Triassic saw a flourish of plant–arthropod interactions. By the Late Triassic, insects had developed all distinct strategies of herbivory,...

Oceanic Anoxic Event 2 triggered by Kerguelen volcanism
Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) are associated with global warming and carbon cycle perturbations during Oceanic Anoxic Event 2 (OAE2, ~94 Ma) and the...

Exceptional fossil assemblages confirm the existence of complex Early Triassic ecosystems during the early Spathian
The mass extinction characterizing the Permian/Triassic boundary (PTB; ~ 252 Ma) corresponds to a major faunal shift between the Palaeozoic and the...

The Upper Triassic deposits of the west Bangong-Nujiang suture zone and their paleogeographic implications
The Bangong-Nujiang Suture Zone (BNSZ) of Tibet (Xizang) has been interpreted to represent a relic of the Bangong-Nujiang Ocean. However, the...

Climate-forced Hg-remobilization associated with fern mutagenesis in the aftermath of the end-Triassic extinction
The long-term effects of the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province, a large igneous province connected to the end-Triassic mass-extinction (201.5 Ma),...

Palynological Age Control and Paleoenvironments of the Paleogene Strata in Eastern Dahomey Basin, Southwestern Nigeria
Paleogene deposits are extensively exposed in the Eastern Dahomey (Benin) sedimentary Basin in southwestern Nigeria. Outcrop logging and sampling of...

New fossil discoveries illustrate the diversity of past terrestrial ecosystems in New Caledonia
New Caledonia was, until recently, considered an old continental island harbouring a rich biota with outstanding Gondwanan relicts. However, deep...

Elevated Southern Hemisphere moisture availability during glacial periods
Late Pleistocene ice-age climates are routinely characterized as having imposed moisture stress on low- to mid-latitude ecosystems
1 –5 . This idea is...

Geochemical and sedimentary constraints on the formation of the Venta Micena early Pleistocene site (Guadix-Baza Basin, Spain)
Despite the paleontological relevance of the terrestrial Early Pleistocene Venta Micena bonebed (Baza Basin, Spain), it lacks a comprehensive...

Neogene burial of organic carbon in the global ocean
Organic carbon buried in marine sediment serves as a net sink for atmospheric carbon dioxide and a source of oxygen
1 ,2 . The rate of organic carbon...
