[coccoliths] Looking for someone to assist with interpretation/write-up of Eocene-Oligocene nannofossil results from Zagros area, Iran

[Nicolas Rudolph Thibault]

Hi Denise,
Great you could find someone.

For the Cretaceous, Mohammad and I have been working a lot the past 5 years in several areas of Zagros and we are also helping another student at the moment getting his data published as they seem to be really productive in Iran for nannofossil and foraminifer biostrat data in this area. In any case, Mohammad and I are happy to help in such cases if needed.

I’ve also been contacted many times now to review papers on the Paleogene of Zagros where I systematically declined and suggested appropriate names of our esteemed colleagues on this period. I recall someone contacted me for help as well on the Paleogene in Iran and I recommended him the same names, I hope that he could find one of you.

But as I’ve been contacted quite a few times by Iranian people in the past 2 years on such cases, it might be a good thing if one or several of you would specifically raise their names if you’re willing to help for Paleogene cases so I can pass on in case I get contacted again.
Cheers,
Nic

I just wanted to let everyone know that I’ve found someone to collaborate with the author. Thanks for your interest and quick responses!

Keep smiling!

Hi all,

Hope all of you and your families are safe and healthy!

I recently reviewed a manuscript (and its revision) submitted to the International Journal of Earth Sciences. The sole author is from an institution in Iran and has samples from a drill core in the Zagros Basin in Iran. The manuscript focuses on the biostratigraphy and some paleoenvironmental interpretation and includes some nice photomicrographs. The author did a nice job addressing many of the scientific points in my original review but was unable to significantly improve the English. I recommended that the author get assistance in that regard and suggested it might be a good idea to collaborate with another nannofossil specialist for this assistance since that person could also help with expanding the paleoenvironmental interpretation. Since I signed my name to the reviews, the author contacted me to see if I could assist. Unfortunately because of U.S. sanctions, getting permission to work with someone in Iran is a lengthy process and my director will not approve me trying to gain permission. Thus, I’d like to put the author in touch with another member of the nannofossil community who would be willing to help. I provided substantial feedback and suggestions of the original manuscript, with some additional suggestions on the revised version. I think this will help substantially in making it reasonably easy to get the manuscript into good shape.

If any of you would be willing to help, please let me know!

Cheers,
Denise
