Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 The Triassic has long been recognized as a time during which marine and terrestrial ecosystems modernized dramatically, and it seems to have been a two-step process. First, recovery from the Permian-Triassic mass extinction (PTME) was a time of extraordinary renewal and novelty, and these processes of change were enhanced, it seems, by the effects of ...

From shallow-water carbonate ramp to hemipelagic deep-marine carbonate deposition: Part 1. General characteristics, microfacies and depositional history of the Middle to Late Anisian Bulog sedimentary succession in the Inner Dinarides (SW Serbia) [PDF]
Geološki Anali Balkanskoga Poluostrva, 2023 The opening of the Neo‐Tethys started in the Middle Anisian and is recorded in the drowning succession of the shallow‐water Ravni/Steinalm Carbonate Ramp and the subsequent deposition of deep‐marine limestones, e.g., the red nodular limestones of the ...

Colobops: a juvenile rhynchocephalian reptile (Lepidosauromorpha), not a diminutive archosauromorph with an unusually strong bite [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2020 Correctly identifying taxa at the root of major clades or the oldest clade-representatives is critical for meaningful interpretations of evolution. A small, partially crushed skull from the Late Triassic (Norian) of Connecticut, USA, originally described

First three-dimensional skull of the Middle Triassic mixosaurid ichthyosaur Phalarodon fraasi from Svalbard, Norway [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2022 The marine Middle Triassic sediments of Svalbard are rich in fossiliferous material and are particularly well-known for marine reptile fossils. Here, we present a new specimen of the small-bodied mixosaurid ichthyosaur Phalarodon fraasi from the ...

The craniomandibular anatomy of the early archosauriform Euparkeria capensis and the dawn of the archosaur skull [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2020 Archosauria (birds, crocodilians and their extinct relatives) form a major part of terrestrial ecosystems today, with over 10 000 living species, and came to dominate the land for most of the Mesozoic (over 150 Myr) after radiating following the Permian ...

40 years of field work in the Triassic marine vertebrate sites [PDF]
Research & Knowledge, 2017 During the first 70 years of the XX century very few researches have concerned the marine Triassic fishes. They were prevalently related to the many scientific expeditions carried out in the first half of that century in localities situated along the ...

Pre-Carpels from the Middle Triassic of Spain
Plants, 2022 In stark contrast to the multitude of hypotheses on carpel evolution, there is little fossil evidence testing these hypotheses. The recent discovery of angiosperms from the Early Jurassic makes the search for precursors of angiosperm carpels in the ...

New skulls of the basal sauropodomorph Plateosaurus trossingensis from Frick, Switzerland: Is there more than one species? [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2021 The Triassic basal sauropodomorph Plateosaurus trossingensis is well-known from mass accumulations at the German localities of Trossingen and Halberstadt and the Swiss locality of Frick, and is significant especially regarding its taphonomy and proposed ...

Postcranial osteology of the first early-stage juvenile skeleton of Plateosaurus trossingensis from the Norian of Frick, Switzerland [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2020 Owing to monospecific mass-accumulation sites in Central Europe, the early-branching sauropodomorph Plateosaurus has one of the best fossil records among dinosaurs. Despite this, early-stage juveniles have been conspicuously absent.

From shallow-water carbonate ramp to hemipelagic deep-marine carbonate deposition: Part 2. Sirogojno (Klisura quarry) - the reference section of the Middle to Late Anisian Bulog sedimentary succession in the Inner Dinarides (SW Serbia) [PDF]
Geološki Anali Balkanskoga Poluostrva, 2023 The Middle to Late Anisian sedimentary succession preserved in the Klisura quarry in Sirogojno (Zlatibor Mt., SW Serbia) preserves the most complete deepening depositional history in the Inner Dinarides in Serbia.
