Both research teams recovered the ancient proteins from tooth enamel, the hardest substance in vertebrates’ bodies, in ...

One study is of enamel proteins from extinct mammal fossils from the Turkana Basin in Kenya, and the other study is of enamel proteins from extinct mammals in the Haughton impact crater site located ...

Bones undergo a different decomposition process called diagenesis, the article stated, which can take decades. Bones that lie in dry soil with certain minerals can “survive the ravages of time.” ...

Scope The Sedimentology, Stratigraphy and Diagenesis section is dedicated to publishing research focused on advancing the understanding of sedimentary successions and their role in Earth's history.

The Upper Triassic of the Qiangtang Basin is a key strata for oil and gas exploration in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. However, it has been controversial argued about the paleoenvironmental control ...

The design of a high-performance Dielectrically Modulated Field Effect Transistor (DMFET) with smaller device dimension (channel length ≤ 100nm) has recently drawn significant research attention for ...

Lacustrine carbonates formed in rift settings are increasingly studied not only as archives of Earth chemical and climatic history but also as potential hydrocarbon source rocks and/or reservoirs. The ...

Rare earth element and neodymium isotope data combined with models of particle cycling and sediment diagenesis suggest that the abyssal seafloor is a key driver of trace-metal biogeochemical cycles.

Postdepositional processes such as diagenesis, dolomitization, and dissolution also play their part in defining the reservoir quality of carbonate rocks. (17,18) Porosity reduction with increased ...
