THE FIRST RECORD OF NEMKOVELLA DAGUINI (NEUMANN, 1958) FROM THE MIDDLE-UPPER EOCENE OF OMAN (ARABIAN PENINSULA) AND MEGHALAYA (INDIAN SUBCONTINENT) AND ITS SIGNIFICANCE IN TETHYAN CORRELATIONS AND PALEOBIOGEOGRAPHY

Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2018
Nemkovella daguini (Neumann, 1958) is a small-sized orthophragminid species previously reported from the Lutetian to lower Priabonian shelf deposits of the peri-Mediterranean region (Western Tethys).

A new species of Lonchidiidae (Hybodontiformes) from the Late Jurassic of Brazil (Aliança Formation, Jatobá Basin)

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 ...

Drivers of tail evolution in squamates and their implications for the fossorial origin of snakes

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The axial skeleton serves as the primary structural support in all vertebrates and is subdivided into five distinct regions: cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, and caudal. Relaxation of constraints acting on the terminal end of the axial skeleton has led to remarkable variation in caudal vertebrae number across Squamata.

Tectono‐Sedimentary Evolution of the Neogene İnegöl Basin (NW Anatolia): Constraints on Transtensional Basin Development at the Junction of the Western Anatolian Extensional Province and the North Anatolian Fault Zone

Geological Journal, EarlyView.
The study outlines the tectono‐sedimentary evolution of the İnegöl Basin in north‐western Anatolia. Basin formation was controlled by interacting extensional and strike‐slip fault systems linked to uplift of the Uludağ Massif. Terrestrial sedimentation from the Miocene to Pleistocene is reconstructed using abundant fossil mammal assemblages that ...

First occurrences of Trionychidae (Testudines, Cryptodira) from the Miocene of Poland: Detailed cranial anatomy and biogeographic implications

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

Late Mesozoic marine Antarctic fishes: future perspectives based on the newly collections recovered in the Ameghino and López de Bertodano Formations [PDF]

Research & Knowledge, 2017
Nowadays, notothenioids are the teleostean group that dominates marine Antarctic waters. However, during the Mesozoic a diverse ichthyofauna inhabited the sea that surrounded Antarctic.

Incorporating Fossil Data Into Ecological Niche Models Enhances Predictions of the Past Distribution of Macaronesian‐Mediterranean Strawberry Trees

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
We demonstrate that fossil‐informed SDMs not only improve spatial accuracy and ecological realism in past projections, but also provide an external form of validation that traditional hindcasts often lack. ABSTRACT Hindcasting is a widely used method to predict the past distribution of plant species. However, its reliability is often constrained by the

Phylogenetic paleobiogeography of Late Ordovician Laurentian brachiopods [PDF]

Estonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2014
Phylogenetic biogeographic analysis of four brachiopod genera was used to uncover large-scale geologic drivers of Late Ordovician biogeographic differentiation in Laurentia. Previously generated phylogenetic hypotheses were converted into area cladograms,

Preservation and palaeobiogeography of dinosaur eggs from the Dadaepo Formation (Upper Cretaceous: Cenomanian), Korea

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 12, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Dinosaur eggs were recovered from the Dadaepo Basin in Busan (south‐east Korea), which is early Late Cretaceous in age and is close to Japan, but the eggs have not been studied. Among East Asian egg‐bearing basins, the Dadaepo Basin is characterized by exceptionally high thermal maturity (c.

Affinity in Concentric Circles (ACC): A Geometric Representation of Dendrogram and Interpretation

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim We introduce “Affinity in Concentric Circles” (ACC), a method that converts dendrograms to a geometric form using similarity scores to compare dendrograms and identify affinity change patterns. Location China for trilobites and global for nisusiid brachiopods.
