Virtual Cranial Reconstruction of the Endemic Gigantic Dormouse 'Leithia melitensis' (Rodentia, Gliridae) from Poggio Schinaldo, Sicily

Open Quaternary, 2020
The endemic dormouse 'Leithia melitensis' from the Pleistocene of Sicily is considered an insular giant, whose body size is exceptionally large in comparison to that of any extant dormouse species. However, knowledge of the skull morphology of this giant

New insight into the Pleistocene deposits of Monte delle Piche, Rome, and remarks on the biochronology of Hippopotamus (Mammalia, Hippopotamidae) and Stephanorhinus etruscus (Mammalia, Rhinocerotidae) in Italy [PDF]

, 2015
Several large mammal assemblages have been collected in the Roman basin since the XIX century, but they usually lack any stratigraphic datum or details about the fossiliferous localities. In this work, the stratigraphic provenance of large mammal remains

Migration of the Antarctic Polar Front through the mid-Pleistocene transition: evidence and climatic implications [PDF]

, 2010
The Antarctic Polar Front is an important biogeochemical divider in the Southern Ocean. Laminated diatom mat deposits record episodes of massive flux of the diatom Thalassiothrix antarctica beneath the Antarctic Polar Front and provide a marker for ...

Osteohistological characterization of notosuchian osteoderms: Evidence for an overlying thick leathery layer of skin

Journal of Morphology, Volume 284, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
The perpendicular insertion of Sharpey's fibers in the external cortex suggests the presence of a thick leathery skin layer overlying notosuchian osteoderms. Although intramembranous ossification is the main process involved in the development of crocodyliform osteoderms, we reported a case of metaplastic development.

Coherent changes in wood charcoals, site occupation and lithic technology across the MIS 4/3 transition at Klein Kliphuis rock shelter, South Africa

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 38, Issue 1, Page 38-48, January 2023., 2023
Abstract We explore the correspondence between changing palaeoenvironments, patterns of site use, and lithic technology at the rock shelter site Klein Kliphuis (South Africa) across the interval 65–55 000 years before present. This period coincides with the termination of Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 4, and the disappearance of an iconic late Pleistocene
