I just noticed a couple of "features" in the stellar mass-redshift distribution, based on the fastspec output for Iron. There is a clear break at z~0.27, and narrow plateau at z>0.45, both of which almost certainly are not physical:

This "feature" is due to an intentional fitting prior in FastSpecFit which removes SPS models which are older than the age of the universe at the redshift of each galaxy (+a pad of 500 Myr). Although physically motivated, this choice clearly introduces an unwanted redshift-dependence.
