The Miocene Pisco Formation, broadly exposed in the Ica Desert of southern Peru, is among the most outstanding Cenozoic marine Fossil-Lagerstätten worldwide. It is renowned for its …
New age estimates obtained via Strontium Isotope (87 Sr/86 Sr) Stratigraphy and new paleoclimatic data are here presented for the Miocene Chilcatay and Pisco formations …
Abstract The Bragantina Platform is an onshore basin of the Brazilian equatorial margin, including the Pirabas Formation, the youngest bioclastic-dominated formation in the area …
Bioapatite of fossil bone and teeth is susceptible to alteration and ion exchange during burial and diagenesis, varying its Sr content through the geological time. Nevertheless, fossil …
Palaeoenvironmental data are fundamental in determining the manifold impacts of climate change. This paper argues that sessile barnacles are an excellent palaeoenvironmental …
Tube-dwelling cirratulids from the Miocene Chilcatay and Pisco Formations of southern Peru are described herein for the first time. These worms constitute tube aggregates cropping out …
Nowadays, the odontocete family Kogiidae is monotypic and only includes two species of diminutive relatives of the great sperm whale Physeter Linnaeus, 1758. Conversely, a …
Based on mapping of laterally traceable stratigraphic discontinuities, we propose a high- resolution allostratigraphic scheme for one of the world's foremost fossil marine vertebrate …
The abundance of the major coralline algal groups has been investigated and quantified in the coralline-rich facies of the Miocene shallow-water carbonates of the Eratosthenes …
