The objective of the present paper is to recognize and reconstruct, from the analysis of pollen recovered from sedimentary cores, the predominant plant communities and their variations during the Holocene in Corrientes A...

Anatomical features related to water deficiency were analyzed in archaeological plant charcoal as a paleoenvironmental indicator. The end of the Aguada settlements in the Valley of Ambato (Catamarca, Argentina), which to...

The Roca San Miguel (RSM) archaeological site was occupied during Mousterian times. Here we present a geoarchaeological and paleoenvironmental reconstruction of the site. Five stratigraphic units (A to E) formed by diffe...

The Deseado Massif, which is located in the western part of the Santa Cruz Province, Argentina, contains numerous hot spring deposits related to the final stages of the Bahía Laura Complex. The aim of this study is to a...

Abstract This study explores the phosphorite deposits from the Lower Member of the Duwi Formation in Egypt, which forms part of the Mediterranean phosphorite belt extending from Africa to Asia. Detailed petrographical, m...

Evidence of teratogenesis and mutagenesis documented in the palynological assemblages of the Middle Triassic Quebrada de los Fósiles Formation, San Rafael Depocenter (Mendoza, Argentina) provide an independent testimony...

This is a review of an edited volume. It's about the Pleistocene archaeology of Africa.

The Chubut River is a Patagonian river that flows from the Andes to the Atlantic Ocean, and is interrupted by a dam built at the middle valley. To investigate the sedimentary history of the lower river basin, a sediment ...

Latest Maastrichtian climate change caused by Deccan volcanism has been invoked as a cause of mass extinction at the Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) boundary (~66.0 Ma). Yet late Maastrichtian climate and ecological changes...

A morphogroup analysis of the upper Hauterivian-lower Barremian foraminiferal assemblages from the Agua de la Mula Member of the Agrio Formation (Neuquén Basin, Argentina) reveled six associations based on benthic foram...

Trochotomidae is a small but distinctive extinct family of pleurotomarioidean gastropods characterized by trochiform shells with an elliptical trema. Two new species of trochotomids are described from Pliensbachian depos...

La Formación Vinchina fue depositada entre los 16 y 8 Ma en una cuenca de antepaís fracturada del noroeste de la Argentina, registrando sedimentación en ambientes continentales, alcanzando un espesor de 6 kilómetros....

The Late Quaternary North Sea basin represents a highly dynamic shelf system, altered by glaciations, deglaciations, and the recent Early Holocene marine transgression. However, detailed studies on the timing of the mari...

In this article we present the new open-air Middle Pleistocene locality Marathousa 2, which was discovered during a double intensive and targeted field survey in the lignite mines of the Megalopolis basin (Greece). The l...

We investigate the use of Hg as a proxy for volcanism by studying four distal and two proximal sections in relation to the Deccan volcanic center, straddling the Cretaceous-Paleogene (KPg) boundary at (a) Højerup (Denma...

This contribution describes new vertebrate remains found in Triassic strata informally known as “Estratos ElBordo”, in the Atacama Desert, northern Chile. These include the first temnospondyl record in the El Bordo B...

La sedimentación de la planicie estuárica rioplatense modifica el paisaje de las reservas naturales costeras de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires. Estas reservas se generaron a partir de la construcción artificial d...

Microbially-colonized sediments tend to be more resistant to erosional events than mostly abiotic sediments. However, the effect of complex microbial associations, such as microbial mats over sediments and the protection...

Abstract Submarine fan deposits are important archives of Earth's history and serve as the record of turbidity current events that transfer large amounts of terrestrial sediment and carbon into the ocean. The geomorpholo...

The fossils of the India Muerta Formation (Neogene, Tucumán Province, Northwestern Argentina) include several vertebrate groups, mainly metatherian, xenarthran, and notoungulate mammals. Nevertheless, these remains have...

The Bryn Gwyn (Chubut Province, Patagonia, Argentina) is a classic fossiliferous site, long recognised for its Cenozoic vertebrate record. However, its invertebrate content remains poorly documented. The Lower Miocene Ga...

Tayassu pecari is widely distributed across the Neotropical region, from northern Argentina to south-eastern Mexico. However, its fossil record is scarce; it is recorded since the middle Pleistocene to Holocene in Argent...
