Caenogastropods and heterobranch gastropods from the Hettangian deposits of Luxembourg: palaeobiogeography and Early Jurassic faunal recovery in the western Tethys

open access: yesPapers in Palaeontology, Volume 12, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract We describe the Hettangian Caenogastropoda and Heterobranchia of the Luxembourg Sandstone Formation, a wedge of clastic sediments deposited along the eastern margin of Paris Basin during the Early Jurassic. Five new genera and 11 new species are erected: Bourguetia bipartita sp. nov., Globularia delsatei sp. nov., Oonia feidtorum sp.

They come in all sizes: integrative systematics and morphological radiation of Scherotheca (Lumbricidae, Crassiclitellata)

open access: yesCladistics, Volume 41, Issue 6, Page 581-599, December 2025.
Abstract Scherotheca is amongst the most diverse earthworm genera within Lumbricidae, exhibiting striking ecomorphological radiation—from small epigeic‐like forms to giant anecic species. Accurate systematics is critical for exploring such diversification.

First record of Acanthuridae (surgeonfish) from the Miocene deposits of the Medvednica Mt.

open access: yesGeologia Croatica, 2016
Middle Miocene deposits at the Dubravica locality in SW Medvednica Mt. (N Croatia) contain various marine fossils, including one tooth of the surgeonfish (Acanthuridae). This is the first such record in Croatia and the second in the wider region, besides

The palaeobiogeography of South American gomphotheres

open access: yesJournal of Palaeogeography, 2013
Gomphotheriid proboscideans reached South America as Late Cenozoic immigrants from North America. However, disagreements over alpha taxonomy, age dating and phylogenetic relationships have produced three competing hypotheses about this immigration: (1) a

Stratigraphy and Palaeobiogeography of Mesozoic Benthic Foraminifera - Part 1

open access: yesGeologia Croatica, 2008
The Adriatic Carbonate Platform (AdCP), was a separate shallowmarine depositional system characterized by a lack of terrigenous input and was connected to Gondwana towards the South via Gavrovo–Tripolitza or Apulia.
