Allometric patterns in Rhamphorhynchus muensteri and their role in the paleoecology, life habits, and taxonomic framework of pterosaurs

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
The Graphical Abstract ilustrates the different allometric pattern within different Pterosauria groups, highlighting how the allometry influences the flight and habits of Pterosauria. Abstract Pterosaurs were the first vertebrates to achieve powered flight, a result of various unique anatomical adaptations, and significant morphological diversity ...

Geology of the Central High Atlas diapiric province (Rich-Imilchil): a cartographic synthesis

Journal of Maps
We present a geological map of the Central High Atlas of Morocco (excluding the mountain fronts), illustrating a structure consisting of narrow ridges of lower Jurassic carbonates, occasionally cored by Triassic Keuper rocks and basalt, or by mid-late ...

A bristle‐nosed Jurassic ray‐finned fish (Actinopterygii) bears true dermal odontodes on its snout

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Teeth show extreme diversity, including tooth‐like dermal odontodes or “skin teeth” in many extant fishes. We describe the anatomy of enlarged tubercles on the snout of Redfieldius, an extinct early Jurassic fish. We found that the tubercles in Redfieldius are dermal odontodes that evolved independently from those of living species. Abstract Comparison

Computed tomography reveals multiple origins of extreme caudal vertebral pneumaticity in sauropod dinosaurs

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Here, we present novel CT scan data of caudal vertebrae of six Middle–Late Jurassic sauropods, representing several eusauropod lineages. We synthesise these new data with a comprehensive critical appraisal of purported external and internal evidence for caudal vertebral PSP in Sauropodomorpha.

Paleomagnetic Constraints on the Rapid Plate Shift of North China Block During the Jurassic From ∼155 Ma Dykes and Sills

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
A large‐scale apparent polar wander occurred during the Jurassic interval, which is interpreted as true polar wander (TPW). As the motion is nearly orthogonal to the TPW axis, the North China Block (NCB) experienced the largest latitudinal and ...

Widespread complex enameloid microstructure in teeth and rostral denticles of Cretaceous sclerorhynchoid skates (Rajiformes: †Sclerorhynchoidei)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
This article demonstrates that the teeth and rostral denticles of an extinct clade of sawfish‐like skates display an extremely derived enameloid microstructure, similar to what is known among sharks. The presence of tooth‐like enameloid microstructure in dermal denticles opens new perspectives about the origins and development of chondrichthyan ...

Petroleum geology of the Upper Jurassic – Lower Cretaceous of East and North-East Greenland: Blokelv-1 borehole, Jameson Land Basin: Burial and exhumation history of the Jameson Land Basin, East Greenland, estimated from thermochronological data from the Blokelv-1 core (including Appendix) [PDF]

Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland Bulletin, 2018
Apatite fission-track analysis (AFTA) data in two Upper Jurassic core samples from the 231 m deep Blokelv-1 borehole, Jameson Land, East Greenland, combined with vitrinite reflectance data and regional AFTA data, define three palaeo-thermal episodes.
