REVIEW OF EARLY TRIASSIC THYLACOCEPHALA
Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2021 Thylacocephala (Euarthropoda: Eucrustacea?) is a group of enigmatic fossil euarthropods, known from at least the Silurian to the Cretaceous. The Triassic is considered to be the period during which thylacocephalans were the most diversified with 17 ...

Wildfire, ecosystem, and climate interactions in the Early Triassic. [PDF]
Commun Earth EnvironAbstract Wildfires are a key component of Earth system dynamics with respect to carbon cycling. Thus, reconstructing past wildfire dynamics is crucial for understanding potential future climate change as related to (paleo)environmental feedbacks. Here, we explore wildfire during the Early Triassic (Smithian and Spathian, ca.

Early Triassic super-greenhouse climate driven by vegetation collapse. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2022 The Permian–Triassic Mass Extinction (PTME), life’s most severe crisis1, has been attributed to intense global warming triggered by CO2 emissions from Large Igneous Province volcanism2–8. It remains unclear, however, why super-greenhouse conditions persisted for around five million years after the volcanic episode,

Synchrotron imaging reveals diversity in archosauromorph growth strategies by the end of the early Triassic [PDF]
iScienceSummary: Archosauromorphs are a diverse clade of vertebrates that originated in the Early Triassic and persist today as crown birds (ornithodirans) and crocodilians (pseudosuchians).

A new eucrocopodan archosauriform from the Middle Triassic of southern Brazil and the phylogeny of Euparkeriidae [PDF]
Scientific ReportsArchosauriformes comprise a diverse range of reptiles, including the crown-group Archosauria, which flourished during the Triassic Period. Early-diverging archosauriforms, such as proterosuchids and erythrosuchids, are becoming progressively well-known ...

Regime Shifts in an Early Triassic Subtropical Ecosystem [PDF]
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020 The Early Triassic was one of the most remarkable time intervals in Earth History. To begin with, life on Earth had to face one of the largest subaerial volcanic degassing, the Siberian Traps, followed by a plethora of accompanying environmental hazards ...

A new Triassic austrolimulid from Poland presents insight into xiphosurid evolution and palaeobiogeography at the dawn of the Mesozoic [PDF]
PeerJXiphosurids are aquatic chelicerates widely viewed as examples of so-called ‘living fossils’ due to their apparent morphological conservatism and limited diversity since at least the Jurassic.

Recurrent and Long-Term Oceanic Anoxia Contributed to Aborted Biotic Recovery Following the Permian–Triassic Crisis [PDF]
BiologyThe influence of ocean chemistry on Early Triassic biotic recovery is poorly understood in the Chaohu Area. Here, we evaluate the influence of ocean chemistry following the Permian–Triassic crisis using pyrite content, δ13Corg, and S isotopic composition
