Microberotha macculloughi gen. nov. and sp. nov. from Early Eocene Okanagan Highlands amber of Hat Creek, British Columbia, Canada, is described. This new genus and species represents one of the smallest members of the family Berothidae and the first occurrence of the family in the New World Tertiary.

Bioerosions produced by the osteophagous diet of animals that fed on dinosaur bones are very scarce in European fossil record. Herein we present bioerosion hadrosaurid remains from Maastrichtian Tremp Formation Pyrenean Basin, which is only second such case recorded Iberian-Occitan Plate besides a sauropod Jurassic-Cretaceous Valencia. The record particularly rich Blasi sites located municipali...

Ostracods as bioindicators are extremely useful for reconstructing palaeoenvironment and palaeoclimate can also indicate the provenance of sediments materials, example, in studies on ancient commercial networks. small crustaceans that live almost all aquatic habitats, both natural man-made. Due to their calcitic carapace, they have high fossilization potential, use geoarchaeology has been stead...

Quaternary palaeoenvironmental (QP) sites in Southeast Arabia are important not only to understand the history of global climate change but also study how ancient humans adapted a changing natural environment. These sites, however, currently missing from conservation frameworks despite reports destroyed and under imminent threat. This presents Geocultural Database Arabia, first open-access data...
