Terrestrial paleoenvironments and paleoclimate during the Miocene climate optimum at Buluk, East Turkana, Kenya

Understanding the environmental and climatic context of Neogene fossil localities in eastern Africa is critical for determining potential drivers of evolution in our hominoid ancestors and their floral and faunal communities. In this study, we reconstructed paleoenvironments and...

Searching for the elusive “A” horizon in buried paleosols

ABSTRACT Presence of an A horizon in paleosols is important for taxonomic classification, interpreting pedogenic processes, and reconstructing paleoenvironments. However, identifying the A horizon in buried contexts is challenging because of potential erosion during burial and po...
