Revisiting a long‐overlooked skull: Implications for the distribution of Dinodontosaurus brevirostris (Kannemeyeriiformes) in the Brazilian Triassic

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Dicynodonts (Anomodontia: Dicynodontia) were one of the main groups of terrestrial tetrapods in Permian and Triassic faunas. In Brazil, the genus Dinodontosaurus is one of the most common tetrapod taxon in the Triassic Santa Maria Supersequence. This genus has a complex taxonomic history and is represented in the Triassic of both Argentina and

Tectonic interpretation of the connectivity of a multiscale fracture system in limestone [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
This paper studies the statistics and tectonism of a multiscale natural fracture system in limestone. The fracture network exhibits a self‐similar characteristic with a correlation between its power law length exponent a and fractal dimension D, i.e., a ≈

Early Pliocene Varanus (Squamata, Varanidae) remains from Megalo Emvolon, Thessaloniki, Greece

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
The article describes new cranial and postcranial varanid material from Megalo Emvolon Lower Pliocene vertebrate fossil site near Thessaloniki. The fossils, likely representing a single individual, are referred to Varanus cf. marathonensis. Abstract This study describes new fossil varanid material from a recently discovered fossil spot (MVL site) at ...

Structural analysis of the eruptive fissures at Mount Etna (Italy)

open access: yesAnnals of Geophysics, 2011
Mount Etna produces frequent eruptions from its summit craters and from fissures on its flanks. The flank fissures trend approximately radially to the summit, and are mainly concentrated in three rift zones that are located on the NE, S and W flanks ...

Calibration of Complex Discrete Fracture Network Using Microseismic Events and Fracture Propagation Modelling with Seamless Reservoir Production Simulation

open access: yesLithosphere, 2022
During the unconventional reservoir development, a proper modelling of the underground fracture networks and their effects on production is crucial for reservoir development potential and realistic economic analysis.

Application of Photogrammetry in Geology: 3D Investigation of Rock Fracture Distributions

open access: yes, 2006
Geology as a science has an important visual component and the knowledge of any geologist is deeply linked to visual experience of rock outcrops, thin sections and analytical images. One of the shortcomings of most geological images such as maps, cross sections and outcrop photographs is that they are 2D, while processes geologists are interested in ...

Simulation of rock salt dissolution and its impact on land subsidence [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Extensive land subsidence can occur due to subsurface dissolution of evaporites such as halite and gypsum. This paper explores techniques to simulate the salt dissolution forming an intrastratal karst, which is embedded in a sequence of carbonates, marls,

A detailed redescription of a skeletally immature ‘Redondasaurus’ suggests ontogenetic transformations in the taxon mirror phytosaurian morphological evolution

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The study of morphological evolution is fundamentally tied to ontogeny, yet studies of these heterochronic processes in the fossil record are rare. Fossils belonging to an ontogenetic series are difficult to assign to an ontogenetic stage due to inconsistent proxies for skeletal ages, challenging to taxonomically assign due to morphological ...

Histology and fossil diagenesis of a pterosaur tooth from the Crato Formation (Lower Cretaceous of Brazil)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Pterosaur dental biology remains poorly understood despite its importance for comprehending feeding strategies and flight adaptations. Here, we present the first comprehensive histological analysis of an ornithocheiriform pterosaur tooth from the Lower Cretaceous Crato Formation (Santana Group, Northeast Brazil).

True 3D Fracture Simulation with Geology-engineering Integration of Volume Modification in Jimsar Shale Oil

open access: yesIOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2021
Abstract The main characteristics of Jimsar shale oil reservoir are of complex structure, strong heterogeneity and great difficulty in fracturing. It is mainly produced by volume fracturing technology, which is easy to form complex fracture networks. At present, the design and parameter optimization of fracturing scheme are not targeted,
