Abstract Bryostromatolites are found in stressed environments from the Paleozoic to Recent. They formed by alternating layers of bryozoans and microbes. This study investigates recent bryostromatolites brackish ponds Netherlands better understand ancient analogues which hosted them. a fringing reef at site Ronde Weel barrier Kaaskenswater.

The timing of the separation Lake Bafa from Aegean Sea and subsequent transition to a freshwater lake is matter debate, uncertainty intervals proposed dates for these changes are quite wide in latest study that utilizes state-of-the-art techniques. By proposing new approach form hierarchical Bayesian change point analysis analyzing paleoenvironmental data, this aims provide objectively selected...

The body size of marine ectotherms is often negatively correlated with ambient water temperature, as seen in many clades during the hyperthermal crisis end-Permian mass extinction (c. 252 Ma). However, case ostracods, changes ancient events are rarely quantified. In this study, we evaluate ostracods Aras Valley section (northwest Iran) response to drastic warming at three taxonomic levels: clas...
