New techniques for old bones: Morphometric and diffeomorphometric analysis of the bony labyrinth of the Reilingen and Ehringsdorf Neandertals

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Neandertals are known to possess very distinctive traits in their bony labyrinth morphology, such as an inferiorly positioned posterior canal and a very low number of turns in the cochlea. Hence, the inner ear has been often used to assess the Neandertal status of fragmentary fossils.

Digitization workflows for paleontology collections

open access: yes, 2016
The development of digitization workflows is an essential part of any formalized large-scale digitization program. Paleontological collections literature has addressed the need for, and utility of, digitized collections for nearly four decades, but no ...

A new Lyropecten (Pectinidae, Bivalvia, Mollusca) from the central California Miocene, USA [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
A new pectinid, Lyropecten terrysmithae n. sp., has been recognized in middle to late Miocene rock units referred to as the Monterey Formation and Santa Margarita Sandstone in the southern Salinas Valley, central California. Previously, L.

The coelurosaur theropods of the Romualdo formation, early Cretaceous (Aptian) of Brazil: Santanaraptor placidus meets Mirischia asymmetrica

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The upper carbonate concretion levels of the Romualdo Formation (Aptian, Brazil) have yielded several theropod dinosaur remains, including spinosaurids and the coelurosaurs Santanaraptor placidus and Mirischia asymmetrica, the phylogenetic affinities of which are controversial.

An ontological morphological phylogenetic framework for living and extinct ray‐finned fishes (Actinopterygii)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The ray‐finned fishes include one out of every two species of living vertebrates on Earth and have an abundant fossil record stretching 380 million years into the past. The division of systematic knowledge of ray‐finned fishes between paleontologists working on extinct animals and neontologists studying extant species has obscured the ...

Histology and fossil diagenesis of a pterosaur tooth from the Crato Formation (Lower Cretaceous of Brazil)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Pterosaur dental biology remains poorly understood despite its importance for comprehending feeding strategies and flight adaptations. Here, we present the first comprehensive histological analysis of an ornithocheiriform pterosaur tooth from the Lower Cretaceous Crato Formation (Santana Group, Northeast Brazil).

Structural Color in Amber-Entombed Wasp: A Detailed Study Using NS-FDTD Simulations

open access: yesIEEE Access
The multilayer reflectors of insect epidermis can produce unique structural color through interactions with light. Many fossilized insects, like amber-entombed wasps, present structural colors. However, how this multilayer structure and structural colors

Environmental conditions of interstadial (MIS 3) and features of the last glacial maximum on the King George island (West Antarctica)

open access: yesЛëд и снег, 2015
The interstadial marine deposits stratum was described in the Fildes Peninsula (King George Island) due to field and laboratory investigations during 2008–2011. The stratum fragments occur in the west and north-west parts of peninsula in following forms:

Crossed Tracks: Mesolimulus, Archaeopteryx, and the Nature of Fossils [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Organisms leave a variety of traces in the fossil record. Among these traces, vertebrate and invertebrate paleontologists conventionally recognize a distinction between the remains of an organism’s phenotype (body fossils) and the remains of an organism ...
