Chapter 8 Palaeobiogeography of New Caledonia

Geological Society, London, Memoirs, 2020
Abstract New Caledonia is known as a global biodiversity hotspot. Like most Pacific islands, its modern biota is characterized by high levels of endemism and is notably lacking in some functional groups of biota. This is the result of its distinctive palaeobiogeographical history, which can be described in terms of three major episodes ...

Additional late Miocene sharks and batoids (Chondrichthyes, Elasmobranchii) from Baripada Beds, Odisha, India: Implications for palaeoenvironment and palaeobiogeography

Journal of the Palaeontological Society of India
The marine fossiliferous Baripada Beds (Upper Miocene), on the eastern coast of India, are well known for yielding diverse species of sharks, batoids and teleost fishes, reptiles, mammals, invertebrates and microfossils (Foraminifera and Ostracoda).

Palaeobiogeography of Australian fossil amphibians

Historical Biology, 2001
Australia has representatives of the earliest known tetrapod vertebrates from the Late Devonian and evidence that their amphibian descendants survived here at least until the Visean.

Additional Eocene echinoids from the Sylhet Limestone of Mikir Hills, Assam, Northeast India: Deeper insights into Neo-Tethys palaeobiogeography

Journal of the Palaeontological Society of India
We report the presence of two additional echinoid species, Eupatagus faurai (Lambert, 1927) and Echinolampas vilanovae (Cotteau, 1890, Échinides éocènes de la province d’Alicante), from the Sylhet Limestone of Mikir Hills (MH), Assam, North East India ...

The first record of Pliotragus (Artiodactyla: Bovidae) in the Early Pleistocene of eastern Asia; contribution to its systematics, palaeohabitat and palaeobiogeography

Journal of Systematic Palaeontology
Pliotragus is a large-sized caprin within Bovidae, primarily known from the Late Pliocene to the Middle Pleistocene of Europe. To date, only a single site with this genus has been discovered in western Asia (Sarikol Tepe, Ankara, Turkey).

Palaeobiogeography of Australian Devonian gastropods

Historical Biology, 2001
Australian gastropod faunas of Devonian age have received comparatively little attention. The occurrences of key gastropod taxa in the Devonian of Australia are reviewed. High levels of endemism of species in the Early Devonian are overprinted by Old World affinities at the generic and familial levels.

Palaeogene palaeobiogeography of the Indian subcontinent

Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 1974
Abstract Certain palaeoecological criteria in the reconstruction of the Palaeogene palaeobiogeography of the Indian subcontinent are discussed. The Early Palaeogene is characterised by marine oscillations, a prolific invertebrate fauna, extensive coal facies development and outpouring of basaltic lava flows, the last being a feature connected with ...
