Freshwater amphibians and squamates from Villeveyrac (lower Campanian; Hérault, France): palaeodiversity, palaeoenvironment and implications for the Late Cretaceous palaeobiogeography of the European herpetofauna

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 12, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract The Late Cretaceous witnessed numerous transgression–regression sequences and the onset of a global cooling phase at the start of the Campanian. In the European archipelago, these environmental changes, combined with active plate tectonics, facilitated the formation of ephemeral land bridges that served as dispersal routes for a variety of ...

Diversity of Late Cenozoic Actinopterygian Assemblages of the South of Eastern Europe

Diversity
In the late Cenozoic, the south-west of Eastern Europe was a region affected by extensive hydrological transformations that resulted in the retreat of the Eastern Paratethys and the emergence and further evolution of freshwater communities.

New, large actinopterygian fishes from the upper Carboniferous of Nýřany, Czech Republic [PDF]

Acta Palaeontologica Polonica
The lacustrine coal deposits at Nýřany, Czech Republic, yielded a diversified vertebrate assemblage of the Middle Pennsylvanian (Moscovian) age, represented by the remains of early tetrapods, as well as numerous freshwater ichthyofauna, including ...

Unusual biota and palynofacies of a Lower Devonian intermontane basin saline lake–playa mudflat ecosystem

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 12, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract The Strathpeffer–Struie Lower Devonian LORS (Lower Old Red Sandstone) deposits of the Northern Highlands of Scotland contain the decidedly unusual ‘foetid beds’. These are interpreted as being deposited in a highly saline sulphate lake and associated playa mudflat, which developed in an intermontane basin in the Caledonian Mountains of ...

Espacio, Tiempo y Forma. Serie I, Prehistoria y Arqueología, 2013
El Mirón Cave (Ramales de la Victoria, Cantabria, Spain) has evidence of brief visits (by hunting parties) to the montane zone of the upper Asón valley in easternmost Cantabria during the Last Glacial Maximum with 14C dates ranging between 19.2-18.4 kya ...

Comments on 'U-Pb dated flowstones restrict South African early hominin record to dry climate phases' (Pickering et al. Nature 2018;565:226–229)

South African Journal of Science, 2020
Pickering et al. (Nature 2018;565:226–229) utilised calcium carbonate flowstone deposits (i.e. speleothems) from eight Pliocene and Pleistocene South African Cradle of Humankind cave sites to propose that biases were created within the fossil record due ...

Multiple indicators record human adaptations to climatic change during the Middle Holocene at the Wanbei site in the middle and lower Huai River valley, China

Boreas, Volume 55, Issue 1, Page 150-163, January 2026.
The archaeological sediment sequences analysis from the Wanbei site reveals a predominantly warm and humid climate with a brief cooling phase between 5600 and 5400 a BP, during the Middle Holocene in the middle and lower Huai River valley. Despite the cooling trend, rice remained the dominant crop in mixed farming, while the proportion of millet ...
