Fossil chela of an erymid lobster from a single locality the upper Bajocian in Western Fore-Balkan Mts (NW Bulgaria) was studied. Two segments thoracic appendages, probably belonging to one individual, were described: 1) P1 propodus with partially preserved pollex and dactylus; 2) carpus merus attached. These elements first pair pereiopods identified as Eryma compressum (Eudes-Deslongchamps, 18...

Variability of the total solar irradiance (TSI) is a potential contributor to changes in global mean temperature on time scales longer than the relaxation time of the upper ocean (i.e. a few years). Indeed, striking correlations between the global instrumental temperature record, extending back a little more than a century, and observable solar features, most notably the solar cycle length, hav...
