DOI: 10.1016/j.palaeo.2019.05.004
Abstract: Abstract Successions of Mesozoic and Paleozoic radiolarian-bedded cherts display a “binary” cyclic hierarchy of cm-scale chert and mudstone couplets. Some of these couplet successions contain an apparent imprint of Milankovitch cycles, in which the couplets… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2504547122
Abstract: Cholinesterase (ChE) enzymes terminate action of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine at synapses and neuromuscular junctions throughout the body. Noninvasive strategies for monitoring these enzymes could be important for studying basic biology of cholinergic systems and disorders… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/sed.13193
Abstract: The Barra Velha Formation and other Aptian pre‐salt deposits record the history of the proto‐Atlantic basin and the rifting of Gondwana. Studies have sought to characterize the depositional environment of the basin with a focus… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s40623-019-1035-5
Abstract: Pelagic chert is one of the major lithologies in accretionary complexes. Thus, frictional properties of chert at seismic slip rates are important for understanding of earthquake faulting in subduction zones. Here, we conducted high-velocity friction… read more here.
