Ammonites underwent an evolutionary diversification after the mass extinction of the end
Triassic induced by the formation of a Large Igneous province (LIP), and this group provides …

The Aalenian was a time marked by profound environmental and carbon cycle changes.
Still, the scarcity of detailed studies hinders a better understanding of the triggering …

Whereas carbon isotope ratios of marine carbonates are well characterized through the
Phanerozoic, the carbon isotope ratios of terrestrial plant organic matter (δ 13 C p) are less …

After more than a century of doubt and equivocation, cyclostratigraphy–the stratigraphic
record of astronomically forced paleoclimatic change–has come to be widely accepted in the …

Eccentricity, obliquity, and precession are cyclic parameters of the Earth's orbit whose
climatic implications have been widely demonstrated on recent and short time intervals …

The astronomical theory and its application to sediment cyclostratigraphy have been widely
studied over the past thirty years. Especially during the past decade, these have been …

The radiolaritic facies (red/green cherts with radiolarians) is a very characteristic feature of
the Tethyan realm. For a long time, its presence has been interpreted as a consequence of …

The early Bajocian event was characterized by a protracted, ca. 4 Myr-long positive carbon
isotope excursion that has been recognized in both marine and continental records. It is …

It is usually very difficult to identify and quantify the relative influence of tectonics, eustasy
and climate on carbonate system evolution from sedimentary records. In order to improve …

Belemnites are extinct cephalopods whose evolutionary history is representative of
successful adaptive radiations during the Mesozoic. Nevertheless, a detailed understanding …
