Interpreting Inverse Magnetic Fabric in Miocene Dikes From Eastern Iceland

Interpreting magnetization from Faraday rotation in birefringent magnetic media

The Faraday effect is an extremely useful probe of magnetization dynamics on an ultrafast scale. However, the measured Faraday rotation is difficult to interpret in birefringent media. We investigate the link between magnetization and Faraday rotation by solving Maxwell’s equations in a magnetically ordered, birefringent material. We find that the Faraday rotation can depend nonlinearly on the ...

A Left-Handed, Stem-Twining Plant from the Miocene Shanwang Formation of Eastern China

Twining stems of plants are very common in extant tropical and subtropical forests, and the climbing growth habit of plants may be an evolutionary innovation and ecological adaptation to either closed, shady or open, edge environments. However, the origin of handedness in climbing plants remains unclear. Here we report a Miocene (ca. 16 million years ago) macrofossil from the Shanwang Formation...

Fokienia shengxianensis sp. nov. (Cupressaceae) from the late Miocene of eastern China and its paleoecological implications

Squilla taulinanus n. sp. (Crustacea, Stomatopoda, Squillidae) from the Burdigalian (Miocene) of Taulignan, south-eastern France

Mantis shrimps (Crustacea: Stomatopoda) are rather rare in the fossil record. Nineteen species have been assigned to Squillidae, of which 12 species have been recorded from the Miocene. We describe herein a squillid, Squilla taulinanus n. sp., from the Miocene of Taulignan, south-eastern France. The exceptionally well-preserved specimen is remarkable in apparently having abdominal somites 5–6 c...
