Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 1-26., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

First discovery of actinopterygian cutting-edged teeth from the middle Norian (Late Triassic) at the Tulong section, southern Tibet, China [PDF]
PeerJActinopterygians (ray-finned fishes) successfully passed through the Permian-Triassic Mass Extinction (PTME) and flourished in the Triassic with diverse feeding specializations and occupation of various trophic levels.

Middle–Late Triassic sedimentary provenance of the southern Junggar Basin and its link with the post-orogenic tectonic evolution of Central Asia [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Due to the unknown Triassic volcanism in the Junggar Basin, the Middle–Late Triassic sedimentary provenance in the southern Junggar Basin (SJB) has long been controversial.

Provenance and tectonic settings of late Triassic–Jurassic deposits in the Southwestern Yangtze block: evidence from the geochemistry, SW China [PDF]
Scientific ReportsDuring the Late Triassic to Jurassic, the western Yangtze Block transitioned from marine carbonate deposits to terrestrial detrital deposits. There are different views on the orogen evolution of the western margin of the Yangtze Block, such as whether ...

The earliest equatorial record of frogs from the Late Triassic of Arizona [PDF]
Biol Lett, 2019 Crown-group frogs (Anura) originated over 200 Ma according to molecular phylogenetic analyses, though only a few fossils from high latitudes chronicle the first approximately 60 Myr of frog evolution and distribution.

New information on Late Triassic sauropodomorph dinosaurs provides support for the independent acquisition of postcranial skeletal pneumaticity in avemetatarsalian lineages. [PDF]
J AnatPSP in early‐branching sauropodomorphs probably evolved first in the neural arches of the posterior cervical vertebrae, expanding anteriorly and posteriorly along the vertebral column. The distribution of PSP in Late Triassic early‐branching sauropodomorphs does not appear to be correlated with body size.

Silesaurid (Archosauria: Dinosauriformes) remains from the base of the Dockum Group (Late Triassic: Otischalkian) of Texas provide new insights to the North American record of dinosauriforms. [PDF]
Anat Rec (Hoboken)Abstract Silesaurids (Archosauria: Dinosauriformes) are found in Middle to Upper Triassic deposits across Pangea, but few stratigraphic sections record the evolution of the group in one geographic area over millions of years. Here, we describe silesaurid remains from the oldest of the Upper Triassic stratigraphic sequence from the base of the Dockum ...

Tip dating supports novel resolutions of controversial relationships among early mammals [PDF]
, 2020 The estimation of the timing of major divergences in early mammal evolution is challenging due to conflicting interpretations of key fossil taxa. One contentious group is Haramiyida, the earliest members of which are from the Late Triassic.

Climatic drivers of latitudinal variation in Late Triassic tetrapod diversity
Palaeontology, 2020 The latitudinal biodiversity gradient (LBG), the increase in biodiversity from the poles to the equator, is one of the most widely recognized global macroecological patterns, yet its deep time evolution and drivers remain uncertain.
