Immature skulls of the theropod dinosaur Coelophysis bauri from Ghost Ranch, New Mexico [PDF]

Acta Palaeontologica Polonica
The theropod dinosaur Coelophysis bauri is well known from the famous Rhaetian, Late Triassic mass death assemblage from the Coelophysis Quarry at Ghost Ranch, New Mexico. This research describes the skulls of two small individuals of C. bauri.

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.

Vertebral, rib, and osteoderm morphology and histology of Middle Triassic diapsid Eusaurosphargis [PDF]

Acta Palaeontologica Polonica
Bone histology and microanatomy of neck and dorsal vertebrae, a dorsal rib, and osteoderms from different body regions of Eusaurosphargis aff. dalsassoi from Winterswijk, The Netherlands, are studied by petrographic thin sections and micro-computed ...

PROVENANCE OF THE PERMIAN-TRIASSIC RED BEDS FROM THE EASTERN PART OF THE MOSCOW BASIN, EAST EUROPEAN PLATFORM: U-Pb LA-ICP-MS AND RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY DETRITAL ZIRCON DATA

Геодинамика и тектонофизика, 2023
We present the first systematic results of U-Pb LA-ICP-MS dating of detrital zircons from 12 samples representing different stratigraphic levels of 5 sections of the Permian-Triassic rocks, located within the eastern part of the Moscow basin (syneclise) –

Triassic

Danmarks Geologiske Undersøgelse Serie B, 1982
Deposition during the Triassic continued in the basinal areas developed during the Permian, but in Early Triassic the highs were also gradually covered by sediments. The pattern of sedimentation in the two mega-basins is analogous to that of the Rotliegendes, i.e. with a pronounced, more coarse-grained elastic infill in the northern basin (fig.

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 ...

Biomineralization of primary carbonate cements: a new biosignature in the fossil record from the Anisian of Southern Italy

Lethaia, EarlyView., 2021
Biomineralization is a generic term used to indicate biological‐mediated mineral formation. In carbonate mineralization, nucleation of crystals can be: (1) controlled directly by the organisms, like in the skeletal formation of most metazoans; (2) induced by microbial communities, by indirect precipitation mediated by their metabolic activities; or (3)

Endothermy, neuron counts, and other issues: Further remarks on neurocognitive evolution in fossil vertebrates

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Last year, we challenged the view that large‐bodied theropod dinosaurs such as Tyrannosaurus rex resembled primates in cognition and behavior, a proposition made by Herculano‐Houzel in 2023. More recently, Jensen et al. have criticized our work on this topic, raising methodological and conceptual issues.

A new species of Lonchidiidae (Hybodontiformes) from the Late Jurassic of Brazil (Aliança Formation, Jatobá Basin)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Aliança Formation (Jatobá Basin) represents lacustrine deposits formed in oxygenated waters that hosted a diverse fauna, including Hybodontiform sharks. Within this group, the Family Lonchidiidae comprises 11 valid genera, with Parvodus previously reported in Brazilian deposits from the Brejo Santo Formation (Araripe Basin, Late Jurassic ...
