First evidence of a mandibular crest in Brasileodactylus Kellner, 1984 (Pterosauria, Pteranodontoidea, Anhangueridae), with comments on pterosaur headcrests

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Brasileodactylus araripensis Kellner, 1984, is a toothed pterosaur from the Lower Cretaceous Romualdo Formation of the Araripe Basin, Brazil. Traditionally regarded as crestless, the species has been central to debates on anhanguerid taxonomy, as most members of the clade possess well‐developed sagittal cranial or dentary crests.

Tracking dinosaurs in Scotland [PDF]

, 2005
<p>Dinosaurs, the Loch Ness Monster not included, are a rarity in Scotland. Although dinosaurs have been known of in England and elsewhere in the world for over 300 years, it was only in the last 23 years that dinosaurs began to appear in Scotland.

Shale oil reservoir characteristics and exploration implication in Da'anzhai Member of Jurassic Ziliujing Formation in central Sichuan Basin

Shiyou shiyan dizhi
To further guide the exploration and development of shale oil in the Da'anzhai Member of the Jurassic Ziliujing Formation in the Sichuan Basin, it is urgent to clarify the favorable lithofacies of shale oil.

Morphological plasticity in the dentition of the lungfish Gnathorhiza from the Permian of Brazil: A population‐level geometric morphometric analysis

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Dental plates are pivotal in the lungfish paleontological record, constituting highly mineralized structures resilient to diagenetic processes. This study provides a detailed description and quantitative shape analysis of 95 newly discovered Gnathorhiza sp. dental plates from the Middle–Late Permian Corumbataí Formation, Brazil.

Diapiric ridges and minibasins in the Central High Atlas: impact on geometries and facies distribution (Lower-Middle Jurassic, Morocco)

BSGF - Earth Sciences Bulletin
The Central High Atlas of Morocco is the result of the Alpine tectonic inversion of an intracontinental Mesozoic basin, the infill of which started with thick Upper Triassic clay and evaporite deposition.

Dinosaur tracks from the Kilmaluag Formation (Bathonian, Middle Jurassic) of Score Bay, Isle of Skye, Scotland, UK [PDF]

, 2005
Tracks of a juvenile theropod dinosaur with footprint lengths of between 2 and 9 cm as well as adults of the same ichnospecies with footprints of about 15–25 cm in length were found in the Bathonian (Middle Jurassic) Kilmaluag Formation of Score Bay ...

Bioerosion traces in bones reveal an increase in ethological diversity in the insect exploitation of carcasses in the late Triassic

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract This study presents the first detailed description of bioerosion traces produced by insects in bones from the Santa Cruz Sequence (early Carnian, Santa Maria Supersequence, Brazil). An array of traces is reported, consisting of notches, a tube, trails of grooves attributed to the ichnotaxon Osteocallis mandibulus and ornamented depressions ...

Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Carrion is a ubiquitous resource in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet it has long been overlooked in ecological research. Over the past two decades, studies on carrion and the many organisms that exploit it have flourished, revealing not only wide‐ranging ecological functions but also significance far beyond ecology.

Hot and cold deserts as eco‐evolutionary arenas for understanding plant resistance to multiple abiotic stressors

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT During their long evolutionary history, land plants have evolved a range of adaptations to different abiotic stressors. These help explain present‐day diversity and distribution patterns, as well as the potential resilience of natural and agricultural systems to a changing climate. Most previous research has focused on adaptation to individual

Water vapor adsorption behavior of continental shale and its main controlling factors in the Da'anzhai Member of the Lower Jurassic Ziliujing Formation, northeastern Sichuan Basin

Shiyou shiyan dizhi
Jurassic continental shale in the Sichuan Basin has favorable prospects for exploration and development. However, it generally contains water under original formation conditions, and additional external water is introduced during hydraulic fracturing ...
