For several decades, ions have been trapped by radio frequency (RF) and neutral particles by optical fields. We implement the experimental proof-of-principle for trapping an ion in an optical dipole trap. While loading, initialization and final detection

An Upper Jurassic ichthyosaur (Ichthyosauria: Ophthalmosauridae) from the Bowser Basin, British Columbia [PDF]
Although the Jurassic was a period of high diversity in ichthyosaurs, only a small number of specimens have been recorded from Canada to date. We describe here a new occurrence of an ophthalmosaurid ichthyosaur from a shallow marine depositional environment within the Bowser Basin of northern British Columbia. Based on vertebral diameters and the size

A revision of Stenopterygius (Ichthyosauria: Thunnosauria) in Italian museum collections
Natural history museum collections are invaluable resources for scientific research, providing material for many fields, and notably for palaeontology. Over the last two centuries, many relevant vertebrate fossils have been discovered, gathered, and traded all over Europe, sometimes without being subsequently published or described.
