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

The 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.

Indication of natural gas migration and accumulation by three-dimensional fluorescence characteristics of gas-field waters: A case study of the Permian-Triassic in the central-western Sichuan Basin

Petroleum Exploration and Development, 2012
Permian-Triassic natural gas migration paths and accumulation patterns in the central-west Sichuan region have been studied by way of examining the three-dimensional shape, light intensity excitation and fingerprint characteristics of aromatic ...

Redescription of the Triassic cynodont Cistecynodon parvus and reassessment of its phylogeny

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Cynodontia is an important subclade of Therapsida that first occurred in the late Permian. It includes extinct subclades which are the non‐mammaliaform cynodonts and Mammaliaformes, with the latter ultimately giving rise to crown mammals. The systematics of non‐mammaliaform cynodonts has been extensively studied and is relatively well‐resolved,

The brachyopoid Hadrokkosaurus bradyi from the early Middle Triassic of Arizona, and a phylogenetic analysis of lower jaw characters in temnospondyl amphibians [PDF]

, 2008
The holotype of the brachyopoid temnospondyl Hadrokkosaurus bradyi, represented by a right lower jaw ramus, is re−ex− amined based upon new data and revision of various morphological features.

Widespread distribution of large silesaurids evidenced by a new record from the Middle Triassic of southwest Gondwana

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
The largest silesaurid known from South America is described here, demonstrating that silesaurids reached large body sizes in southwestern Gondwana. This discovery further underscores the widespread geographic distribution and temporal persistence of large silesaurids across Pangea, despite faunal turnovers and environmental events such as the Carnian ...

Exploring the cranial morphology and possible convergences of Triassic non‐crocodylomorph pseudosuchians (Archosauria: Pseudosuchia) with other sauropsids through linear morphometrics

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Triassic pseudosuchians had highly diversified cranial morphologies. These archosaurs occupied diverse ecological roles, ranging from terrestrial predators and herbivores to semiaquatic ambush predators and possible waders. Here, we apply linear cranial morphometrics to assess possible convergences with other sauropsids from the clades ...

PROVENANCE OF THE BOEVAYA GORA SECTION (SOUTHERN CIS-URALS) AT THE PERMIAN-TRIASSIC BOUNDARY AS A CONSEQUENCE OF THE PALEO-URALS EVOLUTION

Геодинамика и тектонофизика
On one hand, heavy minerals of terrigenous rocks make it possible to obtain unique information on configuration of the direction of clastic sediment transport into the basin and on the other to reconstruct the time for erosion of petrocomplexes of the ...

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

, 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 ...

Slip versus dilation tendency parameter space as a tool for prospecting structurally controlled geothermal systems in greenfield: insights from the greater Ruhr region

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study highlights that with the static and time‐dependent evolution of slip versus dilation tendency parameter space, structurally controlled deep geothermal systems can be selected within areas of higher permeability and lower seismic hazard. Abstract Faults play a vital role in the Earth's hydraulic system by facilitating fluid flow when dilating
