Austrocedrus from the Late Cretaceous of Antarctica and its implications for the early evolution of southern cypresses (Callitroideae, Cupressaceae)

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise The modern distribution of the southern cypresses, Callitroideae (Cupressaceae), reflects a classic Gondwanan distribution. The initial diversification of Callitroideae is estimated to have occurred during the Cretaceous, yet fossils from this period are rare, hampering our understanding of its early evolutionary history.

Tidal-influenced transgression processes in late cretaceous Termit Basin, Niger

Frontiers in Earth Science
Tidal characteristics observed in sediment cores serve as significant indicators of marine paleo-environments. In order to comprehend the sedimentary processes taking place in the Termit Basin and its connections with the New Tethys and the southern ...

Seed‐cone architecture of Pararaucaria utahensis Gee, Howell et Dayvault sp. nov. (Cheirolepidiaceae) from the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation of Utah, USA

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Although Pararaucaria seed cones were first described 90 years ago, only in the last dozen years have we discovered the greater extent of the species diversity and paleogeographic range of the genus. Pararaucaria is now known across the mid‐latitudes of the Lower Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous in the northern and southern hemispheres ...

An ontological morphological phylogenetic framework for living and extinct ray‐finned fishes (Actinopterygii)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The ray‐finned fishes include one out of every two species of living vertebrates on Earth and have an abundant fossil record stretching 380 million years into the past. The division of systematic knowledge of ray‐finned fishes between paleontologists working on extinct animals and neontologists studying extant species has obscured the ...

New data on the age of an Upper Cretaceous clastic-carbonate succession in Brežđe (NW Serbia)

Geologia Croatica, 2014
Radiolarian assemblages of Late Cretaceous age were studied in a carbonate-clastic section from the Cretaceous sedimentary cover that unconformably overlies Triassic sediments of the Jadar Block. According to the identified radiolarian associations, the
