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.

Middle Triassic (Anisian-Ladinian) Palynomorphs [PDF]
Abstract. Initial results of the palynostratigraphical research in the Triassic of northeast Libya indicate the presence of Middle Triassic in several deep-wells. There is some evidence that the uppermost part of the Early Triassic (Late Scythian) as well as the early part of the Late Triassic (Karnian) may also be present.

The oldest record of Saurosphargiformes (Diapsida) from South China could fill an ecological gap in the Early Triassic biotic recovery [PDF]
Diversification following the end-Permian mass extinction marks the initiation of Mesozoic reptile dominance and of modern marine ecosystems, yet major clades are best known from the Middle Triassic suggesting delayed recovery, while Early Triassic ...

Tip dating supports novel resolutions of controversial relationships among early mammals [PDF]
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.

A new archosauriform (Reptilia: Diapsida) from the Manda beds (Middle Triassic) of southwestern Tanzania. [PDF]
BackgroundArchosauria and their closest relatives, the non-archosaurian archosauriforms, diversified in the Early and Middle Triassic, soon after the end-Permian extinction. This diversification is poorly documented in most Lower and Middle Triassic rock

First 'Rauisuchian' archosaur (Pseudosuchia, Loricata) for the Middle Triassic Santacruzodon assemblage zone (Santa Maria Supersequence), Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil. [PDF]
The 'Rauisuchia' are a group of Triassic pseudosuchian archosaurs that displayed a near worldwide distribution. In Brazil, their fossils are found only in the Santa Maria Formation (Paraná Basin) of the Rio Grande do Sul State, specifically in the Middle

Triassic sandstone petrology of Tasmania: evidence for a Tasmania-Transantarctic basin [PDF]
Similar fluvial sequences of Triassic age occur in Tasmania and the Transantarctic Mountains of Victoria Land. The Tasmanian reference section at Poatina consists of Lower Triassic quartzose fluvial sandstones overlain by Middle and Upper Triassic ...

Evidence for multi-rifting in the Variscan–Alpine cycle transition: insights from the European western Southern Alps [PDF]
We investigate the transition between the Paleozoic Variscan cycle and the Mesozoic–Cenozoic Alpine supercontinent cycle, both of which have played a pivotal role in shaping the central European–Mediterranean plate architecture.
