Dental microwear of Late Miocene artiodactyls from Afghanistan can yield information on paleodiet and thus inferences can be drawn about their paleoenvironment. The ‘‘Molayan’’ locality lies at the border between the Greek–Iranian and Siwalik bioprovinces. Knowledge of the paleoenvironment will further our understanding of the faunal exchanges between these two provinces during the Late Miocene...

a fauna of 16 species and genera of marine ostracoda is described and illustrated for the first timefrom the mid-cretaceous of the badamouyeh mountain in kerman province. the ostracod assemblagesuggests a favorable condition during the deposition of the strata. the ostracods can also be used for thecorrelation of cenomanian age formations in many places in the middle east

White and colleagues (Research Articles, 2 October 2009, pp. 65-67 and www.sciencemag.org/ardipithecus) characterized the paleoenvironment of Ardipithecus ramidus at Aramis, Ethiopia, which they described as containing habitats ranging from woodland to forest patches. In contrast, we find the environmental context of Ar. ramidus at Aramis to be represented by what is commonly referred to as tre...

Three new sediment cores from the Chukchi Sea preserve a record of local paleoenvironment, sedimentation, and flooding of the Chukchi Shelf ( 50 m) by glacial-eustatic sea-level rise. Radiocarbon dates on foraminifera provide the first marine evidence that the sea invaded Hope Valley (southern Chukchi Sea, 53 m) as early as 12 ka. The lack of significant sediment accumulation since ca. 7 ka in ...

this study presents the nannostratigraphy and nannofossil events in the lower boundary of kalat formation in the east and west of the kopeh- dagh basin. the kalat formation comprises of coarse grained detritus limestone with subordinate sandstone intercalations. in the current study, six sections have been chosen in the east and west of the basin which are as follow: dobaradar section, kalat se...
