On the Distribution of Lower Triassic Faunas [PDF]
The Journal of Geology, 1912 No formation has added more in recent years to our knowledge of ancient faunal geography than the Lower Triassic. In this epoch we now know three distinct and widely distributed interregional faunal zones, which are truly bench-marks in correlation. These are in sequence upward: (i) the Meekoceras zone; (2) the Tirolites zone; (3) the Columbites zone ...

Lethaia, EarlyView., 2021 Biomineralization is a generic term used to indicate biological‐mediated mineral formation. In carbonate mineralization, nucleation of crystals can be: (1) controlled directly by the organisms, like in the skeletal formation of most metazoans; (2) induced by microbial communities, by indirect precipitation mediated by their metabolic activities; or (3)

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.
