TL;DR: A high-resolution oxygen isotope record of a U/Th-dated stalagmite from subtropical southern Brazil, covering the past 116,200 years, finds that variations in rainfall source and amount are primarily driven by summer solar radiation, which is controlled by the Earth's precessional cycle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Correlation of Early Cretaceous carbon isotope stratigraphy and platform drowning events: a possible link?
TL;DR: The early Cretaceous carbonate carbon isotope record is marked by three positive high-amplitude (> 1.5‰) excursions each covering time spans of more than 106 years as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Palaeogeographic and palaeotectonic evolution of the Eastern Mediterranean Neotethys
TL;DR: In this article, the Pindos ocean, the Antalya ocean, and the Cyprus ocean were investigated and it was shown that, despite some important differences in the timing of events, individual oceanic basins went through essentially predictable stages, including rifting, spreading, subduction/accretion, displacement/emplacement and collision.

Jurassic formation and Eocene subduction of the Zermatt-Saas-Fee ophiolites: implications for the geodynamic evolution of the Central and Western Alps
TL;DR: In this paper, a cathodoluminescence-based ion microprobe (SHRIMP) was carried out to constrain the timing of formation and subduction of the Zermatt-Saas-Fee ophiolites (ZSFO).

Calcareous nannoplankton evolution and diversity through time
TL;DR: The Mesozoic diversity record is one of relatively uniform increase punctuated by short periods of turnover and decline, and rates of speciation that are significantly above background were restricted to the Late Triassic, Early Jurassic and Tithonian-Berriasian intervals as mentioned in this paper.
