Lower Cretaceous Lepidoptera [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1977
LEPIDOPTERA are rare in the fossil record and, until relatively recently, most fossil butterflies and moths had been found in Tertiary deposits. Records of Lepidoptera from earlier in the fossil record have been discounted1. The first evidence of a Cretaceous lepidopteran was Mackay's description2 of the head of a caterpillar in amber (about 72 Myr BP).

A new megaspilid wasp from Eocene Baltic amber (Hymenoptera: Ceraphronoidea), with notes on two non-ceraphronoid families: Radiophronidae and Stigmaphronidae [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2018
Ceraphronoids are some of the most commonly collected hymenopterans, yet they remain rare in the fossil record. Conostigmus talamasi Mikó and Trietsch, sp. nov. from Baltic amber represents an intermediate form between the type genus, Megaspilus, and one

Digit-only sauropod pes trackways from China - evidence of swimming or a preservational phenomenon? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
For more than 70 years unusual sauropod trackways have played a pivotal role in debates about the swimming ability of sauropods. Most claims that sauropods could swim have been based on manus-only or manus-dominated trackways.

An improved model for the ikaite-glendonite transformation: evidence from the Lower Cretaceous of Spitsbergen, Svalbard

open access: yes, 2018
Glendonites, pseudomorphs after marine sedimentary ikaite, are found throughout the Lower Cretaceous succession of Svalbard. Existing models for the ikaite-to-glendonite formation do not explain the different petrological fabrics observed in the ...
