The GSSP for the Hirnantian stage in the ICS geological timescale (uppermost Ordovician stage), located in the Wangjiawan profile (an outcrop of black shale, brownishly weathered siliceous shale and chert layers of the Wufeng Formation) along the G241 road, about 40 km north of Yichang, Hubei, China. An exact golden spike is missing in the profile (2025) but a memorial plague marks the place. The GSSP occurs at the first appearance of fossils of the graptolite species Normalograptus extraordinarius. It was ratified in 2006.

An atypical (without intertidal and supratidal environment) carbonate platform settles down along the margin. Shallow water oolithes and oncoids are deposited in a narrow zone between a basin with Cancellophycus to the north and a marine/swampy plain with abundants mollusc fauna. However the Mytilus formation, rich in bathonian and callovian foraminifera (Septfontaine, 1984 etc.), develop thick limestone beds tenth of meter above, wrongly attributed to the upper Jurassic. See discussion in Septfontaine (1984).

fossile formation
Sous le rift Turkana, en Afrique de l’Est, les scientifiques ont découvert que la croûte s’amincit jusqu’à atteindre un point critique, ce qui suggère que le continent se désagrège progressivement. Ce processus de « rétrécissement » marque un stade avancé de rifting qui pourrait éventuellement conduire à la formation d’un nouvel océan dans des millions d’années. Étonnamment, les mêmes forces géologiques qui divisent la terre peuvent également expliquer pourquoi la région détient un registre fossile si riche. Au lieu d'être le berceau de l'humanité, Turkana pourrait bien être simplement le lieu où

Maroc fossile découverte formation
Une étrange formation rocheuse ridée au Maroc a amené les scientifiques à repenser l'endroit où pourraient vivre d'anciens microbes. Au lieu d’eaux peu profondes et ensoleillées, ces microbes pourraient avoir prospéré dans les profondeurs de l’océan, alimentés par les produits chimiques libérés par les glissements de terrain sous-marins. La découverte suggère que les environnements sombres et riches en nutriments ont abrité des écosystèmes prospères beaucoup plus tôt que prévu. Cela soulève également la possibilité que de nombreux fossiles similaires aient été négligés ou mal interprétés.

Les scientifiques ont découvert de nouveaux indices sur certains des premiers poissons de la Terre, mettant ainsi en lumière les origines anciennes des vertébrés qui ont fini par s’installer sur terre. En réanalysant de mystérieux fossiles de la célèbre formation australienne Gogo et en étudiant un crâne de poisson-poumon récemment reconstruit, vieux de 410 millions d'années et provenant de Chine, les chercheurs révèlent comment ces créatures primitives ont évolué.

Une ancienne sécheresse aurait pu anéantir les vrais hobbits il y a 61 000 ans
extinction formation
Une sécheresse massive qui a duré des siècles pourrait avoir entraîné l’extinction des « hobbits » de Flores. Les enregistrements climatiques conservés dans les formations souterraines montrent que les précipitations ont chuté au moment même où la petite espèce humaine disparaissait. Dans le même temps, le nombre d’éléphants pygmées dont ils dépendaient a fortement diminué à mesure que les rivières s’asséchaient. Avec la disparition de la nourriture et de l'eau, les hobbits ont peut-être été repoussés et entrés dans leur dernier chapitre.
