A new beaked whale record from the upper Miocene of Menorca, Balearic Islands, based on CT-scan analysis of limestone slabs [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2019 The finding of significant vertebrate remains inside commercial stone blocks is relatively rare. Here we describe a fossil cetacean skull discovered inside two slabs cut from a limestone block of Tortonian (i.e., early late Miocene) age from Menorca ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The Aliança Formation (Jatobá Basin) represents lacustrine deposits formed in oxygenated waters that hosted a diverse fauna, including Hybodontiform sharks. Within this group, the Family Lonchidiidae comprises 11 valid genera, with Parvodus previously reported in Brazilian deposits from the Brejo Santo Formation (Araripe Basin, Late Jurassic ...

Early Cenomanian ammonites from East and North-East Greenland
GEUS BulletinEarly Cenomanian (100.5–95.7 Ma) ammonite faunas from East and North-East Greenland collected by the late Simon Kelly and colleagues are described. The assemblages are dominated by typically boreal Schloenbachia varians (J. Sowerby 1817).

Ordovician rafinesquinine brachiopods from peri-Gondwana [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2016 The study of the strophomenide brachiopods of the subfamily Rafinesquininae present in the main Upper Ordovician sections, representing the Mediterranean margin of Gondwana, has revealed an increase in diversity of the group at the region during that ...

A critical revision of the fossil record, stratigraphy and diversity of the Neogene seal genus Monotherium (Carnivora, Phocidae) [PDF]
, 2018 Historically, Monotherium had been one of the few genera of extinct Phocidae (true seals) that served as a wastebin taxon. Consequently, it did neither aid in understanding phylogenetic relationships of extinct Phocidae, nor in understanding seal ...

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.Fossil finds from three Middle Miocene sites in Poland reveal the northernmost known presence of trionychid turtles in Europe, tentatively identified as Trionyx cf. vindobonensis, suggesting a warmer climate that supported thermophilic species in Central Europe during this period. Abstract Modern trionychids (Testudines, Cryptodira) have a pan‐tropical

And then there were none: decrease of origination and the decline of Conulariida
Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 12, Issue 2, March/April 2026.Abstract Although the evolutionary history of conulariids has been widely studied, previous works have focused mostly on limited time intervals. In this paper, we examine the diversity dynamics of the group throughout its entire history, using various mathematical approaches.

New fossil woods from the Mesozoic Khorat Group of Thailand and their palaeoecological implications [PDF]
Research & Knowledge, 2015 Despite its limited stratigraphical value, fossil wood has been revealed to be of interest to characterize the palaeoenvironment evolution during the sedimentation of the Khorat Group.
