The resilient Middle Triassic habitable climate following Early Triassic severe carbon isotope oscillations: contributions from microbialites, Upper Yangtze Block

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science
The Permian-Triassic mass extinction was one of the worst crises for life on earth, killing >90% of marine species, which induced the carbon cycle perturbation during the entire Early Triassic.

New information on Late Triassic sauropodomorph dinosaurs provides support for the independent acquisition of postcranial skeletal pneumaticity in avemetatarsalian lineages

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
PSP in early‐branching sauropodomorphs probably evolved first in the neural arches of the posterior cervical vertebrae, expanding anteriorly and posteriorly along the vertebral column. The distribution of PSP in Late Triassic early‐branching sauropodomorphs does not appear to be correlated with body size.

A new horned and long-necked herbivorous stem-archosaur from the Middle Triassic of India

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
The early evolution of archosauromorphs (bird- and crocodile-line archosaurs and stem-archosaurs) represents an important case of adaptive radiation that occurred in the aftermath of the Permo-Triassic mass extinction.

Recovery of gastropods in the Early Triassic

open access: yesComptes Rendus Palevol, 2005
Abstract Gastropod rebound from the end-Permian mass extinction event initiated in the Olenekian and diversification continued until the Carnian. The most diverse and abundant Early Triassic gastropod faunas are from the Moenkopi Formation (Utah) and the Upper Werfen Formation (Europe, Alps), which contribute as much as 50% to the reported global ...

Morphology and osteo‐histology of the weigeltisaurid wing: Implications for aerial locomotion in the world's first gliding reptiles

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
This study investigates the morphology and osteo‐histology of the wing skeleton of the world's first gliding reptiles, showing how it differs from those of extant gliding lizards, yet is also convergently similar. These findings pave the way for future biomechanical studies on the gliding locomotion of these emblematic fossil animals. Abstract The Late

Sequence stratigraphy and paleogeographic setting of the Antimonio Formation (Late Permian-Early Jurassic), Sonora, Mexico

open access: yesRevista Mexicana de Ciencias Geológicas, 2018
The Antimonio Formation is a Late Permian, Triassic and Early Jurassic sedimentary succession composed of 14 fining-upwards unconformity-bounded sequences. It contains the Permian-Triassic and Triassic-Jurassic systemic boundaries, which are represented

The oldest teleosts (Teleosteomorpha): their early taxonomic, phenotypic, and ecological diversification during the Triassic [PDF]

open access: yesFossil Record
As the fossil record reveals, neopterygians had a major diversification after the great mass extinction at the Permian-Triassic boundary, including the appearance of the major clade Teleosteomorpha.

Hindlimb functional morphology and locomotor biomechanics of the small Late Triassic pseudosuchian reptile Gracilisuchus stipanicicorum (Archosauria: Gracilisuchidae)

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
A three‐dimensional biomechanical model of the musculoskeletal system is used to analyse the potential locomotor functions of the small (~1 kg) Late Triassic archosaurian reptile Gracilisuchus stipanicicorum. The study finds that, potentially like the ancestral archosaur, this taxon was probably quadrupedal, plantigrade and neither strongly sprawling ...
