Biostratigraphy and sequence stratigraphy of the Toarcian Ludwigskanal section (Franconian Alb, Southern Germany) [PDF]
Zitteliana, 2021 Extensive construction work at the canal cutting of the Ludwigskanal near Dörlbach, Franconian Alb, provided the opportunity to re-investigate a scientific-historical and biostratigraphically important reference section of the South-German Toarcian.

Biostratigraphy and sedimentary sequences of the Toarcian Hainberg section (Northwestern Harz foreland, Northern Germany) [PDF]
Zitteliana, 2023 A temporary outcrop in southern Lower Saxony permitted the sedimentological, geochemical and palaeontological investigation of a 40.8 m thick Toarcian section, from the top of the Amaltheenton Formation, through the Posidonienschiefer and Jurensismergel ...

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 9, Issue 5, September/October 2023., 2023 Abstract The study of how organisms grow is a fundamental aspect of palaeontology. Growth in teleosauroids is poorly understood and little studied, especially in an ontogenetic sense. We investigate growth rates of the most common and abundant teleosauroid, Macrospondylus bollensis, in which a large sample of multiple body sizes is available from the ...

Palaeontology, Volume 66, Issue 4, July/August 2023., 2023 Abstract Konservat‐Lagerstätten, such as the Toarcian (Early Jurassic) Posidonia Shale of southwestern Germany, are renowned for their spectacular fossils. Ichthyosaur skeletons recovered from this formation are frequently associated with soft tissues; however, the preserved material ranges from three‐dimensional, predominantly phosphatized structures ...

Dietary niche partitioning in Early Jurassic ichthyosaurs from Strawberry Bank
Journal of Anatomy, Volume 241, Issue 6, Page 1409-1423, December 2022., 2022 Ichthyosaurs were important marine predators during the Mesozoic, but it has been uncertain whether they all hunted the same prey or not. Here, we explore dietary adaptation by a first application of a numerical biomechanical analysis. Stenopterygius specialized in slow biting of hard prey and Hauffiopteryx specialized in fast, but weaker bites on fast‐

The mystery of Mystriosaurus: Redescribing the poorly known Early Jurassic teleosauroid thalattosuchians Mystriosaurus laurillardi and Steneosaurus brevior [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2019 The genus Mystriosaurus, established by Kaup in 1834, was one of the first thalattosuchian genera to be named. The holotype, an incomplete skull from the lower Toarcian Posidonienschiefer Formation of Altdorf (Bavaria, southern Germany), is poorly known ...

European Journal of Taxonomy, 2017 Saurichthyidae is a speciose group of fishes, ranging from the Late Permian to the Middle Jurassic. Early Jurassic saurichthyids are usually considered morphologically less disparate and taxonomically less diverse than their Triassic counterparts ...

The palaeobiology of belemnites – foundation for the interpretation of rostrum geochemistry
Biological Reviews, Volume 95, Issue 1, Page 94-123, February 2020., 2020 ABSTRACT Belemnites are an extinct group of Mesozoic coleoid cephalopods with a fossil record ranging from the early Late Triassic [about 240 million years ago (Mya)] to the Cretaceous/Palaeogene boundary (65 Mya). Belemnites were widely distributed, highly abundant and diverse, and an important component of Mesozoic marine food webs.
