Massive stars (M≳ 10 M⊙), which terminate their evolution as core-collapse supernovae,
are theoretically predicted to eject> 10− 5 M⊙ of the radioisotope 60Fe (half-life 2.61 Ma). If …

Abstract Although Pangea as Earth's youngest supercontinent has continuously served as a
pivotal reference mark in paleogeographic reconstructions, its assembly is still a matter of …

Dating fossil hominids and reconstructing their environments is critically important for
understanding human evolution. Here we date the potentially oldest hominin …

Abstract The Ries impact structure (Germany) contains well‐preserved ejecta deposits
consisting of melt‐free lithic breccia (Bunte Breccia) overlain by suevite. To test their …

Today's paleomagnetic and magnetic proxy studies involve processing of large sample
collections while simultaneously demanding high quality data and high reproducibility. Here …

The widespread occurrence of magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) in several types of marine and
freshwater sediment, and the role of fossil magnetosomes (magnetofossils) as main …

Chronostratigraphic correlation and dating of terrestrial, especially mammal bearing,
sediments of the European Neogene are still problematic and highly debated. In particular …

Anisotropy of magnetic remanence (AMR) is typically obtained by imparting a remanence
through a sequence of reference directions and subsequent measurement of the remanent …

Accurate reconstruction of the final sea retreat from the North Alpine Foreland Basin (NAFB)
during the Burdigalian (Early Miocene) is hampered by a lack of reliable age constraints. In …

Micron to sub‐micron sized ferromagnetic inclusions in rock forming silicate minerals may
give rise to particularly stable remanent magnetizations. When a population of inclusions …
