A tiny wobble in potassium is rewriting Earth’s origin story. In new work published today in Nature Geosciences, an MIT-led team reports a subtle deficit of potassium-40 in some of the planet’s oldest and deepest rocks, a chemical quirk that points to preserved fragments of the 4.5-billion-year-old proto Earth. Why this matters: for decades, scientists assumed the Moon-forming giant impact melted and mixed Earth so thoroughly that any primordial signature vanished.

Nature Reviews Earth & Environment, Published online: 13 October 2025; doi:10.1038/s43017-025-00729-zLara (16, Turkey) asks Professor Le Pourhiet how faults evolve into plate boundaries.

This study presents the first fossil record of Cheliferidae from mid-Cretaceous Kachin amber, specifically a well preserved male specimen (Echinochelifer curvatus gen. et sp. nov.) from amber mines n....

Ophthalmosaurids were a globally distributed clade of ichthyosaurs that thrived from the Middle Jurassic to the early Late Cretaceous. Although their fossil record spans a wide palaeogeographic ran...
