FIRST RECORD OF ORDOVICIAN CONODONTS FROM SOUTHWESTERN SARDINIA

open access: yesRivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2017
A first illustration of Ordovician conodonts from Sardinia is briefly given. The assemblage, belonging to the HDS biofacies, indicates an early-middle Ashgillian age.

Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

Microfossils from Middle Triassic beds near Mišji Dol, central Slovenia

open access: yesGeologija, 2023
Middle Triassic beds exposed along the road between Mišji Dol and Poljane pri Primskovem (Posavje Hills) comprise marlstone, tuff, volcaniclastic sandstone, and thin- to medium-bedded limestone and dolostone.

Carboniferous conodont biostratigraphy

open access: yesGeological Society, London, Special Publications, 2021
Abstract Carboniferous conodont biostratigraphy comprises regional zonations that reflect the palaeogeographical distribution of taxa and distinct shallow-water and deep-water conodont biofacies. Some species have a global distribution and can effect high quality correlations.

Linking palaeo‐wildfire to depositional environmental and ecological dynamics of an Early–Middle Pennsylvanian fluvial‐tidal transition zone—Palynology and pyrolysis evidence

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
The Pennsylvanian landscape in the Forest City basin was characterised by low‐lying lycopod tree and fern swamp forests with persistently high groundwater tables and adjacent fluvial channel, floodplain and upland environments. The occurrence of abundant charcoal within a specific thin interval in the Cherokee Group indicates substantial wildfire ...

Sections in the western slope of the south urals perspective for the choice of the famennian regional boundary stratotype point

open access: yesЛитосфера, 2015
The Bol’shaya Barma, Akkyr, Ryauzyak and Kuk-Karauk sections in the western slope of the South Urals are considered to be perspective sections for the identification of Famennian Regional Boundary Stratotype Point (RBSP).

Reconstructing Environmental and Microbial Ecosystem Changes Across the Permian–Triassic Mass Extinction at Lusitaniadalen, Svalbard

open access: yesPaleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 41, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract The Permian–Triassic environmental crisis triggered fundamental changes in marine ecosystems, culminating in the most severe biodiversity crisis of the Phanerozoic. Yet, the environmental and geochemical conditions governing the crisis and ecosystem recovery remain debated.

Increased Continental Exposure as a Driver of Carbon Drawdown and Initiation of the Late Paleozoic Ice Age

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 24, 28 December 2025.
Abstract Earth experienced a long‐term cooling trend during the middle‐late Devonian, culminating in the Late Paleozoic Ice Age (LPIA)—the longest icehouse in Earth's history. The onset of glaciation has been attributed to CO2 removal through silicate weathering, however previous carbon cycle models have failed to reproduce its timing. Here, we build a

Almost billfish: convergent longirostry, micro‐dentition, and possible glandular sinuses in a large teleost fish from the Upper Cretaceous of Northern Italy

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, Volume 247, Issue 6, Page 1109-1130, December 2025.
A fossil rostrum fragment of a large teleost fish from the Upper Cretaceous of Northern Italy reveals remarkable anatomical convergences with Cenozoic and Recent billfishes (marlins, swordfishes, and akin). The extinct group Plethodidae independently acquired a long snout, micro‐teeth, and oil‐gland sinuses well before the evolution of true billfishes.

Triassic deep-water sedimentation in the Bled Basin, eastern Julian Alps, Slovenia

open access: yesGeologija, 2019
The Bled Basin was a Middle Triassic–Early Cretaceous basin whose remnants are preserved in the eastern Southern Alps in western Slovenia. The early evolution of the basin is recorded in the Upper Ladinian to Lower Jurassic Zatrnik cherty limestone ...
