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.

Pre-Carpels from the Middle Triassic of Spain. [PDF]
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.

Calcareous Nannofossils in Middle Triassic (Anisian)-A preliminary note
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 ...

Middle Triassic Paleosols and paleoclimate of Antarctica [PDF]
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.

Middle Triassic Limestones as a Source of Trace Elements and REY. [PDF]
The results of the content determination of the selected trace elements Ti, Sr, Ba, Zn, Pb, Cu, S, P, Cr, Cd, Ni, Zr, Mo, Rb, Sc, Y, and REEs were presented in this article. Studies were carried out to define the purity of limestones. The elements were measured in the carbonate minerals of Middle Triassic limestones of the Opole Silesia in Poland ...

Diverse growth rates in Triassic archosaurs-insights from a small terrestrial Middle Triassic pseudosuchian. [PDF]
AbstractThe 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,

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

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.
