A fresh look at sideritic "coprolites"
TL;DR: Sideritic cololites from the late Miocene of southwest Washington, the Upper Cretaceous of Saskatchewan and Madagascar, and the Permian of China have often been claimed to be pseudofossils as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Earth, Source of Health and Hazards: An Introduction to Medical Geology
TL;DR: The etiology of many chronic diseases from exposure to earth materials (asbestos disease, As-and Se-induced cancers, and other disabilities) are suspected, but precise mechanisms of induction are presently unknown as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mineralogy of Asbestos Minerals
TL;DR: In the past fifty years the mineralogy and crystal chemistry of the materials called asbestos have been refined leading to better identification through new and more sensitive techniques as mentioned in this paper, and the health aspects of the exposure to fibrous inorganic species are also equally well determined from the anatomical to the biochemical levels.

Possible vestige of early phosphatic biomineralization in gorgonian octocorals (Coelenterata)
TL;DR: Skeletal carbonate hydroxylapatite, heretofore unknown in modern coelenterates, has been found in the axes and holdfasts of the gorgonian octocoral family Gorgoniidae and may indicate a previous history of phosphatic skeletal mineralization within this phylum.
