Multifractal patterns across deep time: What measurement density reveals about Earth's history‎

Much of our understanding of Earth's past is derived from stratigraphic records exposed in rock outcrops or recovered from drilled cores. These records span immense time intervals, from thousands to billions of years, and form the basis of geochronologies used to reconstruct geological, climatic, and environmental change. However, as a new study published in Communications Earth & Environment shows, these records are far from uniform.
