A new stem group echinoid from the Triassic of China leads to a revised macroevolutionary history of echinoids during the end-Permian mass extinction [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2018
The Permian–Triassic bottleneck has long been thought to have drastically altered the course of echinoid evolution, with the extinction of the entire echinoid stem group having taken place during the end-Permian mass extinction. The Early Triassic fossil

The Early Evolution of Rhynchosaurs [PDF]

, 2016
The rhynchosaurian archosauromorphs are an important and diverse group of fossil tetrapods that first appeared during the Early Triassic and probably became extinct during the early Late Triassic (early Norian).

Widespread Grylloblattid Insects After the End-Permian Mass Extinction

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
The end-Permian mass extinction (EPME) led to a severe terrestrial ecosystem collapse. However, the ecological response of insects to the EPME remains poorly understood.

Rapid neck elongation in Sauropterygia (Reptilia: Diapsida) revealed by a new basal pachypleurosaur from the Lower Triassic of China

BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Neck elongation has appeared independently in several tetrapod groups, including giraffes and sauropod dinosaurs on land, birds and pterosaurs in the air, and sauropterygians (plesiosaurs and relatives) in the oceans.

Provenance history of a Late Triassic-Jurassic Gondwana margin forearc basin, Murihiku Terrane, North Island, New Zealand: petrographic and geochemical constraints [PDF]

, 2004
The Murihiku Terrane in the North Island was a forearc basin adjacent to a volcanic arc along the eastern margin of Gondwana during the Mesozoic. The rocks that infill the basin are mainly volcaniclastic sandstones and mudstones, often turbiditic, with ...

Palynological and Stratigraphical Problems of Middle Triassic Siliciclastics from Croatian Off-shore Well Susak More-1 (Adriatic Sea) and NW Slovenia

Geologia Croatica, 2010
The palynological assemblages from Slovenian Middle Triassic sections and Susak More-1 off-shore well always contain Permian, Scythian and Scythian-Lower Anisian palynomorphs.

The timing of the initial collision between the South and North China blocks constraining from the sediments in the eastern Sichuan Basin

Scientific Reports, 2023
In this study, detrital zircon U–Pb geochronology, trace element and Hf isotopic compositional data from the Early-Middle Triassic clastic rocks in the eastern Sichuan Basin were obtained to distinguish the sediment provenance and constrain the timing of

The fossil record of early tetrapods: worker effort and the end-Permian mass extinction [PDF]

, 2010
It is important to understand the quality of the fossil record of early tetrapods (Tetrapoda, minus Lissamphibia and Amniota) because of their key role in the transition of vertebrates from water to land, their dominance of terrestrial faunas for over ...
