T. rex cognition was T. rex‐like—A critical outlook on diverging views of the neurocognitive evolution in dinosaurs

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract A recent debate has emerged between Caspar et al. (2024) and Herculano‐Houzel (2023) on inferring extinct dinosaur cognition by estimating brain neuron counts. While thought‐provoking, the discussion largely overlooks the function of cognition, as well as partly neglects the difficulties involved in estimating neuron numbers, which according ...

A detailed redescription of a skeletally immature ‘Redondasaurus’ suggests ontogenetic transformations in the taxon mirror phytosaurian morphological evolution

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The study of morphological evolution is fundamentally tied to ontogeny, yet studies of these heterochronic processes in the fossil record are rare. Fossils belonging to an ontogenetic series are difficult to assign to an ontogenetic stage due to inconsistent proxies for skeletal ages, challenging to taxonomically assign due to morphological ...

Interpretation of Sand Body Architecture in Complex Fault Block Area of Craton Basin: Case Study of TIII in Sangtamu Area, Tarim Basin

Energies, 2023
The complex fault block oilfields in the craton basin contain vast reserves of oil and gas resources. During the development of an oilfield, the flow of oil, gas, and water, is controlled by faults and configuration boundaries.

Skeletal pathologies in extant crocodilians as a window into the paleopathology of fossil archosaurs

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Crocodilians, together with birds, are the only extant relatives to many extinct archosaur groups, making them highly important for interpreting paleopathological conditions in a phylogenetic disease bracketing model. Despite this, comprehensive data on osteopathologies in crocodilians remain scarce.

A Triassic crown squamate

Science Advances, 2022
Mammals, birds, and squamates (lizards, snakes, and relatives) are key living vertebrates, and thus understanding their evolution underpins important questions in biodiversity science. Whereas the origins of mammals and birds are relatively well understood, the roots of squamates have been obscure.

Middle-Late Triassic insect radiation revealed by diverse fossils and isotopic ages from China

Science Advances, 2018
Chinese fossils reveal a Triassic insect radiation. The Triassic represented an important period that witnessed the diversification of marine and terrestrial ecosystems.

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

The 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 ...

Revision of the thylacocephalan biota from the Upper Triassic Polzberg Konservat-Lagerstätte, Austria [PDF]

Acta Palaeontologica Polonica
Known for over 140 years, the Upper Triassic Polzberg Konservat-Lagerstätte is an exceptional early Carnian marine assemblage discovered in the Northern Calcareous Alps of Lower Austria. The Polzberg biota is composed of a diverse marine fauna, including
