Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 1-26., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

A new basal sauropod dinosaur from the middle Jurassic of Niger and the early evolution of sauropoda. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 The early evolution of sauropod dinosaurs is poorly understood because of a highly incomplete fossil record. New discoveries of Early and Middle Jurassic sauropods have a great potential to lead to a better understanding of early sauropod evolution and ...

FIRST THEROPOD RECORD FROM THE MARINE BATHONIAN OF JAISALMER BASIN, TETHYAN COAST OF GONDWANAN INDIA
Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2023 Middle Jurassic theropods have a scanty record worldwide, especially from Gondwana. In India, where Jurassic theropods are particularly rare and only represented by a few isolated teeth and some badly preserved bones, there is currently no record of ...

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.

First diagnostic marine reptile remains from the Aalenian (Middle Jurassic): a new ichthyosaur from southwestern Germany. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 BackgroundThe Middle Jurassic was a critical time in the evolutionary history of ichthyosaurs. During this time interval, the diverse, well-studied faunas of the Lower Jurassic were entirely replaced by ophthalmosaurids, a new group that arose sometime ...

Youngest occurrences of rhomaleosaurid plesiosaurs indicate survival of an archaic marine reptile clade at high palaeolatitudes [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2015 Rhomaleosaurid plesiosaurians were a common and ecologically significant component of Early Jurassic marine faunas, primarily as large-bodied predators. They declined in abundance and made their last fossil appearance in the Middle Jurassic. However, the
