The Mesozoic volcanic reservoirs in Qiqikou Sag are complex and diverse. Identifying the characteristics and main controlling factors of high-quality volcanic reservoirs is the key to improve the reserves and production of oil and gas in this area.

The North China Craton (NCC) has thick lithosphere in the Paleozoic (>200 km) but appears to be decratonized in the Mesozoic. However, the actual processes operated in the lower crust-deep mantle are still unclear.

Abstract Traversodontids are non‐mammaliaform cynodonts, herbivorous to omnivorous, that lived during the Triassic. In the Late Triassic, some members of this group increased in body size relative to other cynodont lineages and evolved postcranial adaptations associated with locomotion.

The exploration of Mesozoic strata in the Chaoshan Sag of the Pearl River Mouth Basin in the South China Sea faces challenges such as severe seismic wave energy shielding and strong multiple-wave development. This study introduces a wide-line acquisition

150 million years of freshwater fish biogeography: vicariance or dispersal? [PDF]
Freshwater fishes are supposedly good case studies to test palaeobiogeographical models because they are attached to land masses, at least primary freshwater fishes, which are unable to cross marine barriers.

A new occurrence of tetrapod footprints from the Late Triassic of the Candelária Sequence, Brazil
Abstract The Hyperodapedon Assemblage Zone of the Candelária Sequence (Santa Maria Supersequence, Paraná Basin) preserves one of the most significant Late Triassic continental vertebrate assemblages in southern Brazil. Despite the relatively well‐documented body fossil record from this interval, ichnological records remain comparatively scarce.

Endothermy, neuron counts, and other issues: Further remarks on neurocognitive evolution in fossil vertebrates. [PDF]
Abstract Last year, we challenged the view that large‐bodied theropod dinosaurs such as Tyrannosaurus rex resembled primates in cognition and behavior, a proposition made by Herculano‐Houzel in 2023. More recently, Jensen et al. have criticized our work on this topic, raising methodological and conceptual issues.

Abstract Sharks possess varied diets and different prey capture mechanisms. As a result, the group exhibits a significant diversity in dental morphology, also reflecting the internal structures of the teeth. Internal dental anatomy points to the existence of three histotypes in elasmobranch phylogeny: orthodont, osteodont, and pseudoosteodont ...

The endocranial anatomy of the stem turtle Naomichelys speciosa from the Early Cretaceous of North America [PDF]
Fossil turtles are one of the least studied clades in regard to endocranial anatomy. Recently, the use of non-invasive technologies, such as radiographic computed tomography (CT), increased the knowledge of the neuroanatomy of several extinct and extant ...
