Incorporating Information on Varying Sedimentation Rates Into Paleontological Analyses
Ist die Häufung von Aussterbeereignissen wirklich ein Anstieg der Aussterberate oder wird sie lediglich durch verringerte Sedimentationsraten verursacht, die den Abstand zwischen einzelnen Aussterbeereignissen mit langen Pausen dazwischen verringern? Niklas Hohmann, Masterstudent der Paläobiologie, hat diese Frage in seiner Bachelorarbeit untersucht, die nun in PALAIOS veröffentlicht wurde (Hohmann 2021). Die von ihm entwickelten Methoden wurden […]Ist die Häufung von Aussterbeereignissen wirklich ein Anstieg der Aussterberate oder wird sie lediglich durch verringerte Sedimentationsraten verursacht, die den Abstand zwischen einzelnen Aussterbeereignissen mit langen Pausen dazwischen verringern?

Effect of depositional rates on proxies in palaeoenvironmental reconstructions – new article by Jarochowska et al.
The depositional rate reflects how quickly a given thickness of sedimentary rock forms. Abrupt changes in environmental signals recorded in an interval of strata can be the result of (1) fast changes in environmental conditions and average sedimentation rate or (2) average changes in environmental conditions and slow sedimentation rate. To correct for this effect, […]

PalaeoFAU’s Ammonite video won 2nd place in the Palaeovision Fossil Contest!!!!
To bring us all together in these difficult times, the Annual Meeting of The Palaeontological Association 2020 ended with the Palaeovision Fossil Contest. This is an online, interactive, international competition to decide the Annual Meeting’s favourite fossil for this year. The master students of the second semester – Paleontology (FAU) successfully completed a video about […]

Bad news: Flügel Courses 2021 cancelled
Due to the globally increasing number of infections we have decided to cancel next year’s Flügel Courses on carbonate microfacies which were supposed to take place in March. This is very unfortunate, especially since there is a long waiting list, but it seems unlikely to us that we will have overcome the second Covid-19 wave […]

Science journal – Prof. Wolfgang Kießling
Prof. Wolfgang Kießling, Chair of Palaeobiology, and scientists from Australia have succeeded in providing a robust basis for the identification of “New Ecosystems” bereitzustellen, with fossils playing a special role: “Increased extinction in the emergence of novel ecological communities”. At the same time, they noted that the risk of species extinction increases considerably when converting […]Prof. Wolfgang Kießling, Chair of Palaeobiology, and scientists from Australia have succeeded in providing a robust basis for the identification of “New Ecosystems” bereitzustellen, with fossils playing a special role: “Increased extinction in the emergence of novel ecological communities”.
