Rhizoliths are organosedimentary structures produced by plants and are an important proxy
for paleoenvironmental reconstructions because the differences in the morphology of …

A macrofloral assemblage dominated by elements of the Euramerican dryland biome is
described from the Brazil Formation in Clay County, Indiana (Illinois Basin). Fossils were …

The successful interpretation of continental ichnofossils is impeded by our limited
knowledge of the burrows produced by modern continental animals. Actualistic studies of …

The analysis of a database composed of 166 cases of invertebrate and root trace fossils in
paleosols allowed us to recognize four major evolutionary steps in the Phanerozoic …

Earth's tropical forests repeatedly restructured on 10 5-to 10 7-year timescales during the
Late Paleozoic Ice Age (340–280 Ma). Although it is established that these ancient plants …

Fluvial architecture in conjunction with the morphology, petrographical, mineralogical and
geochemical composition of intercalated paleosols of the Middle Moscovian upper Radnice …

Major changes in climate and ecology occurred during the early Eocene climatic optimum,
sometime between 52 and 50 Ma. Recent work suggests that the timing and duration of the …

Ichnological studies are exceptionally important for reconstruction of ecosystems in the
aftermath of mass extinctions, but they have only rarely been undertaken from strata …

Domichnial and domichnial-fodinichnial burrows of ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae)
belonging to the genera Bembidion and Harpalus, respectively, and pupichnial burrows of …

Centipedes extend to the Silurian yet have a relatively poor fossil record. Many species of
extant centipedes are semi-fossorial to fossorial and contribute to soil processes, suggesting …
