Egg shape changes at the theropod–bird transition, and a morphometric study of amniote eggs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The eggs of amniotes exhibit a remarkable variety of shapes, from spherical to elongate and from symmetrical to asymmetrical. We examine eggshell geometry in a diverse sample of fossil and living amniotes using geometric morphometrics and linear ...

A probable oligochaete from an Early Triassic Lagerstätte of the southern Cis-Urals and its evolutionary implications [PDF]

open access: yesActa Palaeontologica Polonica, 2020
Oligochaetes, despite their important role in terrestrial ecosystems and a tremendous biomass, are extremely rare fossils. The palaeontological record of these worms is restricted to some cocoons, presumable trace fossils and a few body fossils the most ...

The late Mesozoic-Cenozoic tectonic evolution of the South China Sea: A petrologic perspective [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
This paper presents a review of available petrological, geochonological and geochemical data for late Mesozoic to Recent igneous rocks in the South China Sea (SCS) and adjacent regions and a discussion of their petrogeneses and tectonic implications. The

Polish Palaeobotany: 750 Million Years of Plant History as Revealed in a Century of Studies. Mesozoic Macroflora

open access: yesActa Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2022
Research on Polish Mesozoic macroflora has remarkably changed over the last 100 years. Compared with traditional nineteenth-century taxonomical and evolutionary studies, modern research also investigates of fossil plant diversity, plant interactions with

The thermal history of the Western Irish onshore [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We present here a low-temperature thermochronological study that combines the apatite fission-track and (U + Th)/He dating methods with a pseudo-vertical sampling approach to generate continuous and well-constrained temperature–time histories from the ...

Mesozoic and Cenozoic decapod crustaceans from the Basque-Cantabrian basin (Western Pyrenees): new occurrences and faunal turnovers in the context of basin evolution

open access: yesBSGF - Earth Sciences Bulletin, 2017
Twenty-nine new identifications of fossil decapod crustacean remains in the Basque-Cantabrian Basin (Western Pyrenees) spanning from the Jurassic to the Miocene and coming from twenty-four new and five yet known localities are described here for the ...

Tectonostratigraphic History of Mesopotamian Passive Margin during Mesozoic and Cenozoic, South Iraq. [PDF]

open access: yesKirkuk Journal of Science, 2008
Passive margin of Mesopotamian zone formed by two tectonic phases: opening and closing phases. Opening tectonic phase (Permian-Jurassic) represents the beginning of Wilson cycle. This phase includes three stages: pre-rifting, rifting and post-rifting. In

Fission track ages and Mesozoic tectonic uplift in the Niushoushan-Luoshan area on the western edge of the Ordos Basin

open access: yesDizhi lixue xuebao, 2023
The western margin of the Ordos Basin and its adjacent regions have undergone a complex tectonic evolution from the Mesozoic to the Cenozoic era. However, the question of tectonic uplift since the Cenozoic era remains a topic of contention, and the ...
