Abstract: Abstract This paper presents an integrated study aiming to assess the stratigraphy, sedimentology and paleogeography of the marine and non-marine Tellian, Bejaoua and Fortuna Oligo-Miocene deposits of northern Tunisia. The fossiliferous strata, particularly the glauconite-rich… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/ncomms15698
Abstract: Modern mangroves are among the most carbon-rich biomes on Earth, but their long-term (≥106 years) impact on the global carbon cycle is unknown. The extent, productivity and preservation of mangroves are controlled by the interplay… read more here.

DOI: 10.7717/peerj.3501
Abstract: Australian Oligo–Miocene mekosuchines (Crocodylia; Crocodyloidea) display wide diversity in cranial shape and inferred hunting strategies. Terrestrial habitus has been inferred for these distinctive predators. A direct morphological signal for locomotion can be expected in the… read more here.
