Abstract The Upper Cretaceous São José do Rio Preto Formation (Bauru Group, southeastern Brazil) has yielded a fragmentary but taxonomically diverse record of titanosaur sauropods, although elements from cervical series remain scarce. Here, we describe a nearly complete sauropod axis from the Vila Ventura Paleontological Area, representing an uncommon ...

Abstract Tyrannosaurus is viewed as a model organism in vertebrate paleontology, with numerous studies analyzing its feeding biomechanics. Nonetheless, the evolution of this feeding performance has been under‐addressed in Tyrannosauroidea, especially in basal tyrannosauroids. Here we used muscle‐force reconstruction and finite element analysis (FEA) to

The sedimentary environment in the Ljubljansko barje basin during the pile-dwelling period
Geological processes on the Ljubljansko barje basin after the Last Glacial Maximum are known merely on a general level. At few points more detailed circumstances are known, but this information is fragmented spatially and temporally. While artefacts from

Crustal recycling and metamorphic dehydration govern the fertility of granite-associated tin systems
Tin is a critical metal predominantly sourced from granite-associated deposits linked to anatexis of metasedimentary rocks and extreme magmatic differentiation.

Osteohistology of two phorusrhacids reveals uninterrupted growth strategy
Abstract Phorusrhacidae were apex predators that primarily dominated South America ecosystems for at least 40 million years with their imposing size and predatory lifestyle—yet some aspects of their biology remain poorly understood. Osteohistology is a tool for understanding growth dynamics and biomechanical adaptations.

Hydrothermal plumes and processes in Indian Ocean
The predicted cycling of the whole ocean through hydrothermal plumes is comparable to the mixing time of the oceans (few thousand years). Hence, understanding hydrothermal plume processes is crucial if their impact on the global geochemical cycles of ...

Nasal soft‐tissue anatomy of Triceratops and other horned dinosaurs
Abstract Although ceratopsid dinosaurs possess a characteristically hypertrophied narial region, soft‐tissue anatomy associated with such a skeletal structure and their biological significance remain poorly understood. The present study provides the first comprehensive hypothesis on the soft‐tissue anatomy in the ceratopsid rostrum based on the Extant ...

Abstract The Late Triassic–Early Jurassic fissures of the Bristol Channel area (southwest England and south Wales) are renowned for their diverse vertebrate faunas. These assemblages have yielded an array of predominantly small‐bodied forms that are crucial to our understanding of the early evolution of several major tetrapod clades.

Landslide mapping along State Route 87 and 260 from Fountain Hills to the Mogollon Rim
Landslides are an underappreciated geologic hazard in Arizona. There are many examples of deadly and destructive landslides throughout the United States and worldwide yet our knowledge of the nature and extent of landslide hazards in Arizona has been ...
