The Earliest Feathers from the Lower Cretaceous Dabeigou Formation of North Hebei: Implications for the Early Evolution of the Jehol Biota

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study reports two isolated feather fossils from the Lower Cretaceous Dabeigou Formation in northeastern China. Morphological analyses identified them as the earliest known feathered theropods (potentially including avian) in the Jehol Biota. This finding reveals a complex ecosystem at the dawn of the Jehol Biota, bridging the temporal and faunal ...

Divergence Linked to Possible Ecological Speciation in Blind Mole Rats: Integration of Thermal Biology and Bite Force in the Upper Galilee Blind Mole Rat (Nannospalax galili)

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Basalt‐dwelling blind mole rats maintain lower body temperatures, show greater post‐digging thermal increases, and dig more efficiently than those from rendzina soils. Although metabolic rates and bite force did not differ between populations, these thermal and physiological shifts align with the greater mechanical resistance and seasonal hypoxia of ...

The Material Basis of 18th‐Century Meissen Porcelain

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the summer of 1708, the quest for making hard‐paste porcelain from Saxonian clay and other mineral resources succeeded. This was achieved by applying as its essential ingredient newly discovered pure kaolin from Heidelsberg near Aue, western Saxon Ore Mountains.

DIVERSITY PATTERNS OF NOTOSUCHIA (CROCODYLIFORMES, MESOEUCROCODYLIA) DURING THE CRETACEOUS OF GONDWANA

Publicación Electrónica de la Asociación Paleontológica Argentina, 2015
Notosuchia is a diverse clade of Crocodyliformes that achieved a remarkable diversity during the Cretaceous. This group is particu- larly abundant in continental deposits of Gondwana throughout the Cretaceous, especially in South America.

Neural Networks and Multivariate Analysis Based on Geochemical Data to Determine Stone Provenance From Ancient Calabrian Quarries (Southern Italy)

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study shows an innovative approach to determine the origin of some Calabrian rocks quarried used in ancient times. Twenty‐five quarries, distributed in all the Calabrian provinces (Southern Italy), were studied and sampled. Ten samples were taken from each quarry, for a total of 250 samples.

Materials Characterization and Technological Aspects of Hellenistic Grey Ware Lamps From Nysa‐Scythopolis (Israel): Evidence Suggesting Local Production?

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Grey ware lamp fragments and a production waster from Tell Iẓṭabba (Israel) were analyzed to determine their manufacturing technology and provenance. These were compared with a light brown‐orange reference fabric from the same site.
