Open AccessFluid evolution and ore deposition in the Harz Mountains revisited: isotope and crush-leach analyses of fluid inclusions
Hydrothermal fluid flow along fault zones in the Harz Mountains led to widespread formation of economic vein-type Pb–Zn ore and Ba–F deposits during the Mesozoic. We reconstruct the fluid flow system responsib...

Open AccessA two million year record of low-latitude aridity linked to continental weathering from the Maldives
Indian-Asian monsoon has oscillated between warm/wet interglacial periods and cool/dry glacial periods with periodicities closely linked to variations in Earth’s orbital parameters. However, processes that con...

Open AccessThe abrupt onset of the modern South Asian Monsoon winds
The South Asian Monson (SAM) is one of the most intense climatic elements yet its initiation and variations are not well established. Dating the deposits of SAM wind-driven currents in IODP cores from the Mald...

Homo erectus at Trinil on Java used shells for tool production and engraving
Argon and luminescence dating of fossil shell infills from Trinil in Java, where Homo erectus lived, reveals that the hominin-bearing deposits are younger than previously thought; perforated shells, a shell tool ...

Reef slope geometries and facies distribution: controlling factors (Messinian, SE Spain)
Sea-level fluctuations and changes in sediment grain size are widely thought to be the main factors controlling carbonate platform slope geometries. Two successive clinoform bodies from the Upper Miocene Cari...

Open AccessCompositional variations in calciturbidites and calcidebrites in response to sea-level fluctuations (Exuma Sound, Bahamas)
The compositional variation of Pleistocene carbonate gravity deposits from the Exuma Sound Basin, Bahamas, was determined. Two types of gravity deposit were present in the cores of ODP Leg 101, Site 632A, i.e....

Open AccessWhiting-related sediment export along the Middle Miocene carbonate ramp of Great Bahama Bank
Modern aragonite needles are present all along the modern leeward margin of Great Bahama Bank (ODP Leg 166), while Middle Miocene sediments contain needles only in more distal areas (Sites 1006 and 1007). In c...

Increased seasonality in the Gulf of Aqaba, Red Sea, recorded in the oxygen isotope record of aPorites lutea coral
At Aqaba in the Northern Gulf of Aqaba, Red Sea, the stable oxygen isotope record of aPorites lutea coral colony was studied. From a vertical and a horizontal core two parts from the base of the colony (10 years ...
