Large-scale mass wasting in the western Indian Ocean constrains onset of East African rifting.

Faulting and earthquakes occur extensively along the flanks of the East African Rift System, including an offshore branch in the western Indian Ocean, resulting in remobilization of sediment in the form of landslides. To date, constraints on the occurrence of submarine landslides at margin scale are lacking, leaving unanswered a link between rifting and slope instability. Here, we show the first overview of landslide deposits in the post-Eocene stratigraphy of the Tanzania margin and we present the discovery of one of the biggest landslides on Earth: the Mafia mega-slide.

The first tetrapod from the mid-Miocene Clarkia (Idaho, USA).

The Clarkia (Latah Formation) of Idaho is well known for its beautifully preserved plant fossils as well as a fauna of insects and fish. Here we present the first known tetrapod fossil from these deposits. This specimen, recovered from the lower anoxic zone of the beds, is preserved as a carbonaceous film of a partial skeleton associated with a partial lower incisor and some tooth fragments.

Demand for nurses is greater today than ever, driven in large part by an unprecedented ageing of the population around the world. According to the UN, the number of people in the world aged 60 or older is expected to more than double by 2050, exceeding 2 billion.
