Tip dating supports novel resolutions of controversial relationships among early mammals [PDF]
, 2020 The estimation of the timing of major divergences in early mammal evolution is challenging due to conflicting interpretations of key fossil taxa. One contentious group is Haramiyida, the earliest members of which are from the Late Triassic.

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 ...

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 ...

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.
