Fossils serve as faithful records and indicators of past geological events.However,accurately identifying organic remnants in these specimens remains challenging due to longterm degradation and transformation processe...
ANPERC and Vahrenkamp group lab for supporting sample preparation required for petrography and SEM analysis of the FAN sample NTN0035-17A.
Biogenic carbonate structures such as rhodoliths and foraminiferal-algal nodules are a significant part of marine carbonate production and are being increasingly used as paleoenvironmental indicators for predictive mo...

The miniaturization of organisms during the Permian-Triassic mass extinction,as an ecological strategy in response to environmental devastation,has been widely recognized in diverse marine invertebrates.Previous studi...
The shallow marine carbonates of the upper Oligocene Qom Formation yielded several occurrences of the foraminiferan genus Neoplanorbulinella Matsumaru. Neoplanorbulinella saipanensis Matsumaru has so far been recorded...

Understanding the spatial and temporal distribution of different paleontological communities in the southern South China Sea(SCS)is fundamental to explore its paleoclimatic and paleoenvironmental changes.In this study...
This research initiative, conducted along the coastal zones of Al Hamama and Susah in northeastern Libya, aimed to enhance our understanding of Holocene benthic foraminifera assemblages and the paleoenvironmental para...

Morphologically homogeneous groups,either living populations or fossil paleo-populations,must be regarded as ecological species,independent of their molecular genetic resemblance in living forms.Morphology is always e...
An integrated benthic foraminiferal and organic matter analysis of samples obtained from sedimentary sections exposed in the Mangoule-Bonepoupa area, revealed a very shallow marine paleo-depositional environment for t...
The study area belongs to the north Afghanistan having complex tectonic setting, because of separation of the Afghanistan plate from Pangea in Early Permian and its subsequent northward journey and collision with Eura...
