The cranial, mandibular, and hyoid anatomy of softshell turtles (Trionychidae): A revised character list for phylogenetic analysis

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Softshell turtles (Pan‐Trionychidae) are an early branching clade of hidden‐necked turtles (Cryptodira) with a rich fossil record extending back to the Early Cretaceous. The evolutionary history of softshell turtles is still unresolved because of their conservative morphology combined with high levels of polymorphism related to morphological ...

Tropical ocean-atmosphere controls on inter-annual climate variability in the Cretaceous Arctic

open access: yes, 2011
The first annually resolved sedimentary record from the Cretaceous is used to develop time series of inter-annual and decadal scale climate variability from the Arctic Ocean.

The skeleton of the green Iguana iguana (Squamata: Iguanidae) and its intraspecific morphological variation

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The green iguana (Iguana iguana) is an iguanine lizard with herbivorous and arboreal habits, whose distribution spans through South America, Central America to the south of North America. Although the genus Iguana is well‐known, the species still lacks a comprehensive and up‐to‐date anatomical study, particularly addressing the axial skeleton,

Pterosaur teeth from the Southern Neuquén Basin (Patagonia, Argentina): New insights on the reconstruction of ornithocheiriform dental anatomy [PDF]

open access: yesActa Palaeontologica Polonica
The pterosaur fossil record of Argentina is increasing in recent times, both in the number of localities and their temporal range. The new materials are found in levels that span from the Late Triassic to the Late Cretaceous in age.

High diversity in the sauropod dinosaur fauna of the Early Lower Cretaceous Kirkwood Formation of South Africa: Implications for the Jurassic–Cretaceous transition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The Kirkwood Formation of South Africa has long been recognised as having the potential to fill an important gap in the Mesozoic terrestrial fossil record.

Re-appraisal of two fossil Frullaniaceae species (Marchantiophyta, Porellales) from the mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber

open access: yes, 2021
With more than 300 extant species, Frullaniaceae represent a species-rich clade of the predominantly epiphytic order Porellales, occurring in humid tropical and subtropical forests as well as temperate regions. Earliest fossils of Frullaniaceae are known

Growth dynamics, skeletochronology, and histovariability of the theropod dinosaur Berthasaura leopoldinae

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Osteohistological sampling on different bones of theropod dinosaur documents discrepant age record, growth, and metabolism. This could result unprecise paleobiological inferences if samplings are based on single bones. However, multi‐bone sampling can attenuate these discrepancies, helping to infer growth dynamics and physiology of these extinct ...

A well-preserved vertebra provides new insights into rebbachisaurid sauropod caudal anatomical and pneumatic features [PDF]

open access: yesActa Palaeontologica Polonica
Rebbachisauridae is a clade of sauropod dinosaurs whose maximum diversification and abundance are known from the Cretaceous of South America. We describe an anterior caudal vertebra, MDPA-Pv 007, from the Upper Cretaceous of Argentine Patagonia, whose ...
