Oldest Cretaceous latimeriid elucidates cranial evolution in derived and extant coelacanths (Actinistia, Latimeriidae)

open access: yesPapers in Palaeontology, Volume 12, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract The fossil record of coelacanths (Actinistia) is diminished by several nominal gaps that obscure vital information pertaining to the clade's evolutionary history. Latimeriidae, the family that includes the extant coelacanth Latimeria, in addition to the Cenozoic, has an outstanding missing gap of 50 myr during the Mesozoic, with no records of ...

Role of Complex Crustal and Basinal Structures in Onset of an Intracratonic Rift System: An Example From the Onshore Potiguar Basin, Brazilian Equatorial Margin

open access: yesBasin Research, Volume 38, Issue 2, March–April 2026.
Schematic evolution model of the Onshore Potiguar Basin, illustrating the role of complex crustal and basinal structures in the onset of this intracratonic rift system in NE Brazilian Equatorial Margin. Red arrows indicate the extensional direction and coloured areas on the surface are the Self‐Organizing Maps populations related to crystalline ...

Scleractinian corals from the upper Berriasian of central Europe and comparison with contemporaneous coral assemblages

open access: yes, 2018
Scleractinian coral faunas from the upper Berriasian part of the Oehrli Formation of western Austria (Vorarlberg) and eastern Switzerland (Canton of Appenzell) are taxonomically described for the first time. Furthermore, scleractinian corals of the upper

Paguroid anomurans from the upper Tithonian–lower Berriasian of Štramberk, Moravia (Czech Republic)

open access: yesGeologija, 2020
Subsequent to a preliminary report on a handful of paguroid remains from the Tithonian (uppermost Jurassic) to lower Berriasian (Lower Cretaceous) Štramberk Limestone in Moravia (eastern Czech Republic), published in 2013, several field campaigns were ...

The early origin of Iguanodontia: new insights into the macroevolution, diversity and biogeography of the clade

open access: yesPalaeontology, Volume 69, Issue 2, 2026.
Abstract Iguanodontia (Dinosauria, Ornithischia) is a speciose group of herbivorous dinosaurs that include the famous genus Iguanodon, one of foundational members of the clade Dinosauria. Despite their very long history of research, several aspects of their systematic relationships and their evolutionary history remain somewhat nebulous.

Testing Volcano Deformation Models Against 3D Seismic Reflection Imagery of Ancient Intrusions

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Magma intrusion often drives uplift of the overburden and free surface. Analytical modeling of such surface uplift at active volcanoes allows us to estimate intrusion geometries and positions, as well as volume and pressure changes; these insights have proven critical to forecasting volcanic unrest and eruptions. However, it is rarely possible

Freshwater amphibians and squamates from Villeveyrac (lower Campanian; Hérault, France): palaeodiversity, palaeoenvironment and implications for the Late Cretaceous palaeobiogeography of the European herpetofauna

open access: yesPapers in Palaeontology, Volume 12, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract The Late Cretaceous witnessed numerous transgression–regression sequences and the onset of a global cooling phase at the start of the Campanian. In the European archipelago, these environmental changes, combined with active plate tectonics, facilitated the formation of ephemeral land bridges that served as dispersal routes for a variety of ...

Osteology and Taxonomy of British Wealden Supergroup (Berriasian–aptian) Ankylosaurs (Ornithischia, Ankylosauria)

open access: yesJournal of Vertebrate Paleontology, 2020
Ankylosaurs, dinosaurs possessing extensive body armor, were significant components of terrestrial ecosystems from the Middle Jurassic–latest Cretaceous. They diversified during the Early Cretaceous, becoming globally widespread. The Lower Cretaceous Wealden Supergroup (Berriasian–Aptian) of Britain has produced abundant ankylosaur material, with three
