TL;DR: In this article, the relation of two well-known ancient carbonate deposits to hydrocarbon seepage was confirmed by using isotopic signatures corroborate that archaea were involved in the cycling of seepages-derived organic carbon at the ancient localities.

TL;DR: In this article, the identification and description of fossil evidence of microbial activity in the Monferrato carbonates is described. But the authors focus on the identification of microbial structures represented by pyritic rods and dolomite tubes.

TL;DR: In this article, a number of integrated criteria (geometry, sedimentology, diagenesis, biostratigraphy) have been proposed to recognize stratigraphic breaks.

TL;DR: The Alba succession (Tertiary Piedmont basin, NW Italy) preserves the northernmost record of the Messinian salinity crisis (MSC) and was deposited on the southern margin of a wide wedge-top basin this article.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a well-exposed example of the geological record of the birth, life, and death of a mud volcano, showing that the chimneys were the pathway for the expulsion toward the sea floor of gas-and sediment-charged fluids likely originated from destabilization of methane gas hydrates.
