Unravelling the evolution of the Frébouge polygenetic cone in Val Ferret (Mont Blanc Massif)

Boreas, EarlyView.
Proglacial settings in the Alps are typically polygenetic, often characterized by a complex and discontinuous interplay between glacial, fluvial and gravitational processes. These processes yield high volumes of sediments, which usually exceed their transportation capacity.

Thermal Buffering, Heat Advection and Crustal Thinning in the Ryoke Metamorphic Complex, Yanai, Southwest Japan

Journal of Metamorphic Geology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The metamorphic zoning and geothermobarometry of the Ryoke metamorphic complex in the Yanai area, southwest Japan, show that its thermobaric structure was buffered by the dehydration melting of biotite. The temperatures over most of the area covered by the three high‐grade zones (8.5‐ to 19.0‐km depth) are consistent with those of the ...

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

Journal 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 ...

Comparative endocranial anatomy in the crocodylians Leidyosuchus canadensis and Stangerochampsa mccabei from the upper Cretaceous of Alberta, Canada

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Leidyosuchus canadensis and Stangerochampsa mccabei share endocranial features such as posterior projection of a neurovascular canal in the maxilla and a paratympanic sinus system most similar to those of small‐bodied and young extant crocodylians, suggesting that these pedomorphic features may reflect the ancestral crocodylian condition.

Endocranial anatomy of the earliest cretaceous European neosuchian crocodyliform Pholidosaurus purbeckensis provides new evidence for the ecological evolution of Pholidosauridae

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
We present new insights into the internal cranial anatomy of the neosuchian crocodyliform Pholidosaurus purbeckensis, based on CT‐scan data of material from the lowermost Cretaceous Purbeck Limestone Group, southern UK. From the study of the endocast, we obtained new information on the phylogeny and the ecological evolution of the Family ...

The earliest cowries: the origin of cypraeoid gastropods

Acta Palaeontologica Polonica
Cowries, the family Cypraeidae, form a diverse and conspicuous group of gastropods living in tropical to subtropical seas. Their shell is convolute (last whorl covers all previous ones) with a narrow, slit-like siphonate aperture bearing denticles ...

Population and herbarium genomics provide a comprehensive framework for a revision of Microcoleus (Cyanobacteria)

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Microcoleus is a cosmopolitan, filamentous cyanobacterium and a key component of biological soil crusts—complex microbial communities essential for primary production in diverse terrestrial environments. Here, we performed a taxonomic revision of several species of Microcoleus based on a large population genomic dataset.

Coal petrography characteristics and coal facies constraints of Kezilenur Formation coal seams in the northern tectonic belt of Kuqa Depression

Meitan kexue jishu
Jurassic coal seams are widely developed in the northern tectonic belt of Kuqa Depression, Tarim Basin. Exploration and development practices in recent years show that the exploration potential of coalbed methane (CBM) resources in this area is huge, and
