Pre-Carpels from the Middle Triassic of Spain. [PDF]
Plants (Basel), 2022 In stark contrast to the multitude of hypotheses on carpel evolution, there is little fossil evidence testing these hypotheses. The recent discovery of angiosperms from the Early Jurassic makes the search for precursors of angiosperm carpels in the Triassic more promising. Our light microscopic and SEM observations on Combina gen.

Diverse growth rates in Triassic archosaurs-insights from a small terrestrial Middle Triassic pseudosuchian. [PDF]
NaturwissenschaftenAbstractThe small pseudosuchian Benggwigwishingasuchus eremacarminis was found in Anisian (Middle Triassic) marine sediments. Neither the skeleton nor osteohistology or microanatomy shows any secondary aquatic adaptations, and a dominantly terrestrial lifestyle of this new taxon is evident. Bone tissue consists of a scaffold of parallel-fibered matrix,

The anatomy and phylogenetic position of the erythrosuchid archosauriform Guchengosuchus shiguaiensis from the earliest Middle Triassic of China [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Erythrosuchidae is a clade of early archosauriform reptiles, which were apex predators in many late Early and Middle Triassic ecosystems, following the Permo-Triassic mass extinction.

Fuyuanichthys wangi gen. et sp. nov. from the Middle Triassic (Ladinian) of China highlights the early diversification of ginglymodian fishes [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 A series of well-preserved fossil assemblages from the Middle Triassic marine rock succession in Southwest China provide unique evidences for studying the early evolution of holostean fishes, including Halecomorphi (e.g., bownfin) and Ginglymodi (e.g ...

Calcareous Nannofossils in Middle Triassic (Anisian)-A preliminary note
Geologija, 1991 In this note nannofossils of Anisian age are reported in a Middle Triassic flysch sequence in southern Montenegro (Dinarides). The rich and various nannofossils are largely different from those described either in Paleozoic-Upper Triassic or in younger ...

A new Early Triassic crinoid from Nevada questions the origin and palaeobiogeographical history of dadocrinids [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2023 Knowledge of the early evolution of post-Palaeozoic crinoids mainly relies on the well-preserved and abundant material sampled in Triassic Konservat-Lagerstätten such as those from the Anisian Muschelkalk (Middle Triassic) of the Germanic Basin.

A Hiatus Obscures the Early Evolution of Modern Lineages of Bony Fishes
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 About half of all vertebrate species today are ray-finned fishes (Actinopterygii), and nearly all of them belong to the Neopterygii (modern ray-fins). The oldest unequivocal neopterygian fossils are known from the Early Triassic.

Middle Triassic Paleosols and paleoclimate of Antarctica [PDF]
Journal of Sedimentary Research, 1998 The Lashly Formation in the Allan Hills of southern Victoria Land, Antarctica, is now at a latitude of 768S and during the Middle Triassic was at least 708S. The combined evidence of fossil roots and soils indicates a paleoclimate unusual for such a high latitude.
