Abstract
According to recent reports there is an excess correlation and an apparent regularity in the galaxy one-dimensional polar distribution with a characteristic scale of 128 Mpc. This apparent spatial periodicity can be naturally explained by a time oscillation of the gravitational constant G. On the other hand, periodic growth features of bivalve and coral fossils appear to show a periodic component in the time dependence of the number of days per year. We show that a time oscillating gravitational constant with similar period and amplitude can explain such a feature.
