Summary: Frutexites-like microstructures were found in the Late Devonian reef complexes of the northern Canning Basin, Western Australia. Three types of microstructures were identified, each composed of different bacterial communities and exhibiting distinctive textures and compositions.

Summary: Late Devonian was a period of rapid changes in the Earth system, with uncertainties surrounding the causes of climate change, sea level changes, ocean anoxia, and the Frasnian-Famennian mass extinction. Analysis of rock magnetic data and magnetostratigraphy from the Late Devonian drill-core in the Lennard Shelf of Western Australia revealed scattered paleomagnetic directions, but showed good correlation with previous studies. Further data is needed to better understand the timing, causes, and environmental shifts during this critical time-period, including the Frasnian-Famennian mass extinction.

Summary: This study introduces a method to identify submerged coastal features using geophysical data and presents the findings from a study of the Rowley Shelf in Australia. The study identifies specific depths where submerged coastal features are concentrated, called modal sea-level depths, and reveals the influence of these features on shelf morphologies. The study also provides new insights into the processes shaping carbonate provinces.

Summary: The Rowley Shelf in Australia's North West Shelf is covered with linear ridges that are now submerged relict coastal deposits formed over the last 200,000 years. These ridges control the morphology of the continental shelf and the distribution of coral reefs, highlighting climatic changes. Compaction analyses are critical for understanding paleoenvironments and sea level reconstructions.

Summary: Carbonate margins provide valuable records of past climate, oceanography, and geography of continental shelves, allowing for the identification of regional and global paleoenvironmental changes. This study focuses on the evolution of the Exmouth-Barrow margin during the Miocene, using onshore outcrops, offshore wells, and 3D seismic data. The research reveals the distinct phases of the margin's evolution, including the progradation of carbonate clinoforms, sabkha development, formation of a carbonate barrier-lagoon system, and the transition to dominantly siliciclastic sedimentation.

Summary: This study investigates the geological characteristics and biotic communities of the middle and upper parts of the Skaly Formation in the Miloszow Wood area, central Poland. The study reveals significant lateral facies variations within the carbonate ramp depositional system and highlights the diversity of marine organisms present in the area. The findings contribute to a better understanding of the geological evolution and biodiversity of central Poland.

Summary: This study presents a comprehensive dataset of 138 surficial sediment samples collected from the shallow marine waters off the western coast of Victoria, Australia. The dataset serves as a benchmark to understand sediment dynamics and connectivity along the coast, and can support environmental and engineering studies.

Summary: This study investigates the Silurian-Lower Devonian carbonate-clay sedimentary complex of the southwestern slope of the East-European platform. The study reveals that this complex was formed through a single cycle of geodynamic and sedimentary events. The study utilizes well-logs correlation, lithological and geochemical investigations of core samples, and petrographic thin sections analysis. The results show that the complex can be considered as a separate petroleum system.

Summary: Severe global climate change during the Toarcian Stage of the Jurassic led to environmental deterioration in the oceans. Records from the north-west Adriatic Carbonate Platform in Slovenia provide insights into the early Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event, highlighting the impact of CO2 injection on ocean acidification and ecosystem changes.

Summary: This study evaluates the connectivity of flank margin caves on San Salvador Island, Bahamas, to regional flow systems in modern carbonate platforms. The results suggest that the connection to the ocean differs in various bedrock deposits, with increasing connectivity observed in progressively older bedrock. The morphologies of the caves on the island are related to dissolution, collapse, and overprinting, reflecting the geological history of the area.

Summary: Sedimentary margins grow through different methods, with shelf-incising canyons and shelf-edge deltas supplying sediment in distinct ways. The characteristics of shelf-and slope-incising canyons include basin-floor sediment aggradation and onlapping against eroded basin margins.
