Palaeoclimatic characteristics of the Late Jurassic-Cretaceous in Emei area, Sichuan Basin, China
Frontiers in Earth ScienceThe Late Mesozoic is a typical period for studying the greenhouse climate and the interaction of the Eearth’s systems. To expound the interaction between the evolution process of the terrestrial surface system and the environment in the Late Jurassic ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.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 ...

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2023 The tectonic evolution of the Neo‐Tethys Ocean remains highly controversial, with several models existing in the community that conflict with each other. Here, we present new geochronologic and geochemical data for orthogneisses and amphibolites from the

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The Aliança Formation (Jatobá Basin) represents lacustrine deposits formed in oxygenated waters that hosted a diverse fauna, including Hybodontiform sharks. Within this group, the Family Lonchidiidae comprises 11 valid genera, with Parvodus previously reported in Brazilian deposits from the Brejo Santo Formation (Araripe Basin, Late Jurassic ...

Anatomy of Rhinochelys pulchriceps (Protostegidae) and marine adaptation during the early evolution of chelonioids [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Knowledge of the early evolution of sea turtles (Chelonioidea) has been limited by conflicting phylogenetic hypotheses resulting from sparse taxon sampling and a superficial understanding of the morphology of key taxa.

A reassessment of Kelmayisaurus petrolicus, a large theropod dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous of China [PDF]
, 2012 The Early Cretaceous fossil record of large-bodied theropods from Asia is poor, hindering comparison of Asian predatory dinosaur faunas with those from other continents. One of the few large Asian theropod specimens from this interval is a partial skull (

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.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

Acta Palaeobotanica, 2015 The finding of fossil freshwater diatoms in late Cretaceous chert in Mexico suggests - together with all the discoveries of fossil freshwater diatoms known from positions older than the Cretaceous - that the extinct marine Cretaceous diatom taxa cannot ...

The first iguanian lizard from the Mesozoic of Africa [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2016 The fossil record shows that iguanian lizards were widely distributed during the Late Cretaceous. However, the biogeographic history and early evolution of one of its most diverse and peculiar clades (acrodontans) remain poorly known.
