Bird-like fossil footprints from the Late Triassic

open access: yesNature, 2002
The study of fossilized footprints and tracks of dinosaurs and other vertebrates has provided insight into the origin, evolution and extinction of several major groups and their behaviour; it has also been an important complement to their body fossil record.

Stratigraphy, facies and geodynamic settings of Jurassic formations in the Bükk Mountains, North Hungary: its relations with the other areas of the Neotethyan realm. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Jurassic mélange complexes related to the subduction of the Neotethys Ocean occur in the Bükk Mountains, North Hungary. This paper characterizes the sedimentary sequence of basin and slope facies that occur in the southwestern part of the Bükk ...

Constructing the Eastern Margin of the Tibetan Plateau During the Late Triassic

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2018
The steep eastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau is thought to have developed in the Cenozoic by brittle crustal thickening or lower crustal flow related to India‐Asia collision.

Comparative cranial biomechanics reveal macroevolutionary trends in theropod dinosaurs, with emphasis on Tyrannosauroidea

open access: yesThe 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

The Bulog Formation in the type area (Sarajevo) and related Middle and Late Triassic open-marine sedimentary successions in the Dinarides of Bosnia and Herzegovina [PDF]

open access: yesGeološki Anali Balkanskoga Poluostrva
The type area of the Bulog Formation in the area of Sarajevo is revisited in order to solve the still open question of the palaeogeographic provenance of the type‐section of the late Pelsonian‐Illyrian Bulog Formation and other related Middle Triassic ...

Decoupling of morphological disparity and taxic diversity during the adaptive radiation of anomodont therapsids [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Adaptive radiations are central to macroevolutionary theory. Whether triggered by acquisition of new traits or ecological opportunities arising from mass extinctions, it is debated whether adaptive radiations are marked by initial expansion of taxic ...

A second species of non‐crocodyliform crocodylomorph from the Late Triassic fissure deposits of southwestern UK: Implications for locomotory ecological diversity in Saltoposuchidae

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Late Triassic–Early Jurassic fissures of the Bristol Channel area (southwest England and south Wales) are renowned for their diverse vertebrate faunas. These assemblages have yielded an array of predominantly small‐bodied forms that are crucial to our understanding of the early evolution of several major tetrapod clades.

Injuries in deep time: interpreting competitive behaviours in extinct reptiles via palaeopathology

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For over a century, palaeopathology has been used as a tool for understanding evolution, disease in past communities and populations, and to interpret behaviour of extinct taxa. Physical traumas in particular have frequently been the justification for interpretations about aggressive and even competitive behaviours in extinct taxa.

Synopsis of the Triassic reptiles from Germany [PDF]

open access: yesFossil Record
Triassic strata in the portion of the Central European Basin (CEB) that cover parts of conterminous Germany have yielded a long if discontinuous record of continental tetrapods spanning this period.

Indosinian high-strain deformation for the Yunkaidashan tectonic belt, south China : Kinematics and 40Ar/39Ar geochronological constraints [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Structural and 40Ar/39Ar data from the Yunkaidashan Belt document kinematic and tectonothermal characteristics of early Mesozoic Indosinian orogenesis in the southern part of the South China Block.
