TL;DR: In this paper, a new data set of fossil occurrences representing 3.5 million specimens was presented, and it was shown that global and local diversity was less than twice as high in the Neogene as in the mid-Paleozoic.

TL;DR: A new database of this kind for the Phanerozoic fossil record of marine invertebrates is introduced and four substantially distinct analytical methods that estimate taxonomic diversity by quantifying and correcting for variation through time in the number and nature of inventories are applied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Shell beds as tools in basin analysis : the Jurassic of Kachchh, western India
TL;DR: Skeletal concentrations are ubiquitous in Bathonian-Oxfordian shallow water sediments of the pericratonic basins of Kachchh and Rajasthan, western India.
Journal ArticleDOI
A fossil record full of holes: The Phanerozoic history of drilling predation
TL;DR: The evolutionary history of drilling predation, despite a long and rich fossil record (Precambrian-Holocene), contains a 120 m.y. gap (Late Triassic-Early Cretaceous) as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The discovery of centimetre-sized structures from the 2.1-Gyr-old black shales of the Palaeoproterozoic Francevillian B Formation in Gabon are reported, which are interpreted as highly organized and spatially discrete populations of colonial organisms.
