A giant plagiosaurid temnospondyl from Bjørnøya (Svalbard, Norway) and the origin of the plagiosaurid body plan

open access: yesPapers in Palaeontology, Volume 12, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract An articulated temnospondyl skeleton from Middle Triassic deposits of Bjørnøya (Bear Island) in the western Barents Sea is described as a new plagiosaurid genus and species, Arctobatrachus urdensis. With a body length well exceeding 2 m, it represents by far the largest known member of the Plagiosauridae.

Two new species of Waiparaconus (Octocorallia) of the enigmatic Family Waiparaconidae

open access: yesPapers in Palaeontology, Volume 12, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Waiparaconus, a Late Cretaceous to early Cenozoic fossil, was long interpreted as a pedunculate cirripede, but is now tentatively placed in the Pennatuloidea (Order Scleralcyonacea, Class Octocorallia). New material from the Snow Hill Island Formation (lower Maastrichtian) at Vega Island, Antarctica is described and specimens from the Gingin ...

Drilling the Marathousa palaeo‐lake in Greece (Peloponnese): inferring the environmental context of a Middle Pleistocene archaeological site

open access: yesBoreas, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 866-884, July 2026.
The Megalopolis Basin is located in the central Peloponnese (Greece), a region that is situated along one of the primary Pleistocene biogeographical corridors for intracontinental hominin migration. The basin comprises several hundred metres of Plio‐Pleistocene sediments alternating between clastics and lignites.
