Briefly mentioned in 1915 by the palaeontologist Répelin, mosasaurid Liodon asiaticum was found a missionary to Africa, Father Ruffier, Late Cretaceous strata near Jerusalem (without further details on exact provenance). This material never described detail, figured, or revised and recently rediscovered collections of Muséum d’histoire naturelle Marseille (Provence, southern France). Here we de...

IT WILL BE SEEN FROM THE ABOVE THAT WE HAVE STUDIED THE CONDITIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THE DEPOSIT OF CALCAREOUS SALTS: (I) in connection with normal and pathological ossification, and (2) in pathological calcification as exhibited in (a) atheroma of the vessels; (b) calcification of caseating tubercular lesions; (c) calcification of inflammatory new growth, and (d) degenerating tumors; and we have...

Lonicera confusa was a medical plant which could adapt to the Ca-rich environment in the karst area of China. The photosynthesis, relative chlorophyll content,differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) of L. confusa that cultivated in calcareous and sandstone soils were investigated. The results showed that the relative chlorophyll content and net photosy...

In replicate series of experiments in natural seawater, one in full darkness and the other in a 1:1 diurnal cycle with as little as ~5% of natural solar illumination, sunlight promoted calcareous deposition on cathodic stainless steel surfaces. As exemplified by scanning electron microscopy, the deposit that formed under the natural diurnal cycle, in the presence of photosynthetic biofilms, was...
