Natur und Mountainbiken
A book on nature, mountain biking and the consequences (in German). “Das Thema Outdoorsport und Natur bewegt viele Menschen und es wird oftmals hitzig und kontrovers diskutiert. Bislang gibt es immer wieder Konflikte, denn sowohl auf Seiten des Naturschutzes als auch auf Seiten der Outdoorsportvertreter:innen existieren vielzählige Argumente und Vorurteile. Jedoch liegt bis dato eine […]

Exceptionally Preserved Conodont Natural Assemblages
“Articulated natural assemblages contain direct evidence of the element numbers, morphologies, positions and structures for reconstructing the feeding apparatuses of conodont animals, but these kind of materials are very rare in fossil records. Here we report ten new conodont natural assemblages from Member II of the Guanling Formation in Luoping County, eastern Yunnan Province, southwestern […]“Articulated natural assemblages contain direct evidence of the element numbers, morphologies, positions and structures for reconstructing the feeding apparatuses of conodont animals, but these kind of materials are very rare in fossil records.

Revisiting the Phanerozoic rock–diversity relationship
“The congruence between rock quantity and biodiversity through the Phanerozoic has long been acknowledged. Rock record bias and common cause are the most discussed hypotheses: the former emphasizes that the changes in diversity through time fully reflect rock availability; the latter posits that the correlation between rock and fossil records is driven by a common […]

On Paleozoic platycerate gastropods
“The platycerate gastropods Orthonychia yutaroi Ebbestad, sp nov. (Ordovician, Boda Limestone, Sweden), O. enorme (Silurian, Sweden, Gotland), O. parva (Pennsylvanian, Finis Shale Member, USA), and Orthonychia sp. (Mississippian, Imo Formation, USA) are studied including their protoconch morphology. Orthonychia yutaroi is the oldest known species in Orthonychia. Platycerates contain species with both, openly and tightly coiled protoconchs. This is the first report that tightly coiled protoconchs occur in Orthonychia. This and previously published […]“The platycerate gastropods Orthonychia yutaroi Ebbestad, sp nov.

Revisiting the identification of Syllipsimopodi bideni
“Recently, on the basis of a single specimen (ROMIP 64897) from the Royal Ontario Museum (Canada), Whalen and Landman described the new coleoid taxon with a fairly completely preserved frontal part as Syllipsimopodi bideni. The specimen, recovered from the Bear Gulch Limestone, Heath Formation in Fergus County, Montana, USA, is of Serpukhovian age Based on the suggested […]

Response of Siliceous Marine Organisms
“Siliceous marine ecosystems play a critical role in shaping the Earth’s climate system by influencing rates of organic carbon burial and marine authigenic clay formation (i.e., reverse weathering). The ecological demise of silicifying organisms associated with the Permian-Triassic mass extinction is postulated to have elevated marine authigenic clay formation rates, resulting in a prolonged greenhouse […]“Siliceous marine ecosystems play a critical role in shaping the Earth’s climate system by influencing rates of organic carbon burial and marine authigenic clay formation (i.e., reverse weathering).
