Bipedalism or bipedalisms: The os coxae of StW 573

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
There has been a long debate about the possibility of multiple contemporaneous species of Australopithecus in both eastern and southern Africa, potentially exhibiting different forms of bipedal locomotion. Here, we describe the previously unreported morphology of the os coxae in the 3.67 Ma Australopithecus prometheus StW 573 from Sterkfontein Member 2

Quantitative sedimentological analysis of the aeolian–fluvial Triassic Sherwood Sandstone Group, Cheshire Basin, UK

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sedimentological analysis of the outcropping Sherwood Sandstone Group, northern Cheshire Basin, UK, documents the preserved stratigraphic expression of water table‐controlled aeolian‐dominated erg‐margin successions (Wilmslow Sandstone Formation and lower Helsby Sandstone Formation), overlain by dryland fluvial deposits (middle Helsby ...

Establishing detailed chemofacies of depositional environments in an epeiric seaway using high‐resolution (500 μm) micro X‐ray fluorescence core scanning data

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Establishing depositional environments in ancient mudstone successions from epeiric seas is difficult due to the lack of obvious lithological changes, leaving long, largely undifferentiated mudstone intervals that complicate their correlation to near‐shore environments.

Geological reassessment of syn‐rift extensional sequences in the Shine Usny Tolgod and Dzun Shakhai fossil localities, Eastern Gobi Basin, Mongolia

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sedimentary infill patterns in the Eastern Gobi Basin of southern Mongolia record a complex, polyphased history. Asynchronous timing and intensities of extensional tectonism during the Early Cretaceous fragmented the Eastern Gobi Basin into a series of sub‐basins within an extensional rift (horst‐graben) setting, which likely infilled ...

Fold‐and‐Thrust Belt and Early Alpine Relief Recorded by Calcite U–Pb Dating of an Uplifted Paleo‐Canyon (Vercors Massif, France)

open access: yesTerra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The long‐term evolution of orogenic drainage systems is closely related to the propagation of tectonic structures, which gives rise to the topography and hence anisotropies for river incision. This study focuses on the subalpine Vercors Massif (SW French Alps), reconstructing the geometry of an uplifted paleo‐canyon and applying calcite U–Pb ...
