Broken foreland basins are caused by crustal-scale contractional basement structures that
compartmentalize (or break) a contiguous retroarc or collisional foreland basin into smaller …

Currently, some 564 species of Curculionoidea from nine families (Nemonychidae—4,
Anthribidae—33, Ithyceridae—3, Belidae—9, Rhynchitidae—41, Attelabidae—3, Brentidae …

Although temporal calibration is widely recognized as critical for obtaining accurate
divergence-time estimates using molecular dating methods, few studies have evaluated the …

Carbonate build-ups in lakes, hydrothermal and fluvial settings are characterized by
distinctive geometry, spatial distribution, fabrics and geochemical signature but also by …

In the tradition of GG Simpson's classic work, Kenneth D. Rose's The Beginning of the Age of
Mammals analyzes the events that occurred directly before and after the mysterious KT …

Abstract Numerous 40Ar/39Ar experiments on sanidine and biotite from 22 ash beds and 3
volcaniclastic sand beds from the Greater Green River, Piceance Creek, and Uinta Basins of …

The mega-diversity of herbivorous insects is attributed to their co-evolutionary associations
with plants. Despite abundant studies on insect-plant interactions, we do not know whether …

The origins of South America's exceptional plant diversity are poorly known from the fossil
record. We report on unbiased quantitative collections of fossil floras from Laguna del Hunco …

The Lípez region of southwest Bolivia is the locus of a major Neogene ignimbrite flare-up,
and yet it is the least studied portion of the Altiplano-Puna volcanic complex of the Central …

Turtles have served as a model system for molecular divergence dating studies using fossil
calibrations. However, because some parts of the fossil record of turtles are very well known …
