An early Eocene pan-gekkotan from France could represent an extra squamate group that survived the K/Pg extinction [PDF]
In this paper we describe a new lizard from the early Eocene of the Cos locality in the Quercy region (near the Caylus village, Southwest France). The age of the Cos deposit has been proposed as the MP 10–11 interval, close to the transition of the ...

Tracing Ancient Migration Routes: Did <i>Gloydius</i> Pitvipers Disperse Across Paleo-Tibet Through Temperate and Subtropical Corridors? [PDF]
We investigated the evolutionary and biogeographic history of Himalayan and Hindu Kush Gloydius pitvipers by integrating time‐calibrated phylogenetic analyses with paleoclimatic reconstructions and species distribution modeling. Our results suggest an early Miocene origin in East and Southeast Asia, followed by westward dispersal across Paleo‐Tibet via

Short note on the first record of fossil shark teeth in the Chehel-Kaman formation, Iran [PDF]
Shark teeth discovered in the late Paleocene-early Eocene Chehel-Kaman Formation in NE Iran bring new data on the fossil fish record from this country. Two genera from the location are described and figured.
