There is considerable uncertainty about future sea‐level projections due to the current poor
understanding of the vulnerability and sensitivity of ice sheets to global warming. Fossil coral …

Abstract The Late Triassic was a pivotal period in reef evolution, but the majority of
information about reef ecology during this time comes from buildups in the Alps (eg, the …

After the latest Permian mass extinction event, microbial mats filled the ecological niche
previously occupied by metazoan reefs, resulting in widespread microbialites. This study …

During the earliest Triassic microbial mats flourished in the photic zones of marginal seas,
generating widespread microbialites. It has been suggested that anoxic conditions in …

Unusual pendant bioconstructions occur within two submerged caves in the Plemmirio
Marine Protected Area, south of Syracuse (SE Sicily). These cm-to dm-sized …

Pendant bioconstructions occur within submerged caves in the Plemmirio Marine Protected
Area in SE Sicily, Italy. These rigid structures, here termed biostalactites, were …

Fossil hydrocarbon seeps are present in latest Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) volcaniclastic
shallow shelf sediments exposed on Snow Hill and Seymour Islands, James Ross Basin …

Abstract The Calcare di Base is a widespread Messinian carbonate formation in the
Mediterranean, especially in Sicily and Calabria, Italy. The environmental conditions under …

Oil seepage is widespread in the Gulf of Mexico, which also applies to the Bay of Campeche
in the southern Gulf. The ascension of crude oil and oil-derived hydrocarbons poses a …

The dark and confined conditions of submarine caves allow the development of cryptic
bioconstructions. They have been named “biostalactites” due to their distinctive growth from …
