Large‐Scale Coherent Southward Displacement of the Indochina Block: Constraints From New Late Cretaceous Paleomagnetic Studies

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 21, 16 November 2026.
Abstract To better constrain the post‐collisional southward displacement of the Indochina Block (ICB) and the crustal deformation of the southeastern Tibetan Plateau, we present a reliable paleomagnetic study of Upper Cretaceous Nanxin Formation redbeds exposed in the Lanping area, at the northern edge of the Lanping‐Simao Terrane (LST).

An ontological morphological phylogenetic framework for living and extinct ray‐finned fishes (Actinopterygii)

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 11, Page 3187-3217, November 2026.
Abstract The ray‐finned fishes include one out of every two species of living vertebrates on Earth and have an abundant fossil record stretching 380 million years into the past. The division of systematic knowledge of ray‐finned fishes between paleontologists working on extinct animals and neontologists studying extant species has obscured the ...

Cranial anatomy of a Late Cretaceous aspidorhynchid fish (Neopterygii: Aspidorhynchiformes) from Alberta, Canada

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 11, Page 3123-3136, November 2026.
Abstract Belonostomus longirostrisis was named for an isolated jaw fragment from freshwater Upper Cretaceous (Campanian) sediments of the Dinosaur Park Formation of Alberta, Canada. Following the description of the Albertan species, numerous isolated cranial and postcranial elements have been collected from the Dinosaur Park Formation and assigned to B.

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

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 11, Page 3036-3076, November 2026.
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

Disentangling the depositional, tectonic and diagenetic history of a unique case of rhombic calcite in marine carbonate scree‐like deposits in the Cretaceous Cauvery Basin

The Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 5, November 2026.
A succession of marine deposited scree deposits got exposed to meteoric fluids due to sea level drop or tectonic uplift. This potentially caused a unique form of diagenetic transformation in scree deposits, that is the formation of micro rhombic calcite.
