The anatomy, paleobiology, and evolutionary relationships of the largest extinct side-necked turtle [PDF]
Science Advances, 2020 The largest extinct turtle from South America had males with horned shells. Despite being among the largest turtles that ever lived, the biology and systematics of Stupendemys geographicus remain largely unknown because of scant, fragmentary finds.

A guide for microscopic description of fossil stromatolites [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Geology, 2023 Stromatolites are laminated biosedimentary structures of great importance for paleobiological, paleoecological, and paleoenvironmental analyses, mainly in Precambrian rocks. Their value is related to the glimpse of past life recorded in their lamination,

Shell variability in the stem turtles Proterochersis spp. [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Background Turtle shells tend to exhibit frequent and substantial variability, both in bone and scute layout. Aside from secondary changes, caused by diseases, parasites, and trauma, this variability appears to be inherent and result from stochastic or ...

Theropod dinosaur facial reconstruction and the importance of soft tissues in paleobiology
Science, 2023 Large theropod dinosaurs are often reconstructed with their marginal dentition exposed because of the enormous size of their teeth and their phylogenetic association to crocodylians. We tested this hypothesis using a multiproxy approach.

Photosymbiosis in Late Triassic scleractinian corals from the Italian Dolomites [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 During the Carnian, oligotrophic shallow-water regions of the western Tethys were occupied by small, coral-rich patch reefs. Scleractinian corals, which already contributed to the formation of the reef structure, owed their position most probably to the ...

The soft-tissue attachment scars in Late Jurassic ammonites from Central Russia [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2015 Soft-tissue attachment scars of two genera and four species of Late Jurassic craspeditid ammonites from the Russian Platform are described. A previously suggested relationship between lateral attachment scars and ammonoid hyponome is confirmed, however,
