Crab autotomy with evidence of regeneration is described for the first time in the fossil record. Autotomy is a defensive behavior that affects more males than females of Achelous monspeliensis and may be related to mating season. ABSTRACT Autotomy—the voluntary shedding of a limb as a defensive response to predation, intraspecific aggression, or ...

A thorny evolution: first Triassic ammonoid with a ventral apertural elongated rostrum
Abstract Ornamented terminal peristomes are common in ammonoids, but pronounced conch projections are rare, particularly in the Triassic. A new early Spathian assemblage from southeastern Idaho yielded two ammonoid specimens with an impressive terminal mid‐ventral elongated rostrum, documenting the first Triassic occurrence and one of the few ...

Abstract Cambrian Series 2 represents a key interval for documenting the evolution and diversification of early biomineralized skeletal animals. In this interval, small shelly fossils (SSF) provide an essential archive for regional biostratigraphy and intercontinental correlation.

Abstract The accretion of allochthonous provinces, derived from oceanic plates, has traditionally been considered an important contributor to continental growth. However, increasing evidence shows that some oceanic terranes (e.g., island arcs) are not “exotic,” as suggested by the presence of continental‐derived sedimentary provenance.

Abstract The Tvären structure in southeastern Sweden has been listed as a confirmed marine‐target impact structure for decades. However, to date, no measurements and/or indexed data of planar deformation features in quartz grains from the structure have been published or any other unequivocal evidence of impact.

Revisiting the Hummeln structure, Sweden—A shallow marine Cambrian impact structure
Abstract Hummeln is a simple impact structure located in south‐eastern Sweden. It is approximately 1.2 km in diameter and almost completely covered by a lake. Here, we present the first detailed investigation of impactites and mapping of the 164.25 m deep drill core Hummeln‐1 with a focus on impact metamorphism and the impact process.

Cruziana traces from the Late Silurian (Pridoli) carbonate shelf of Saaremaa, Estonia [PDF]
Late Pridoli Cruziana traces have recently been found in carbonate shelf sediments of the Ohesaare Formation on Saaremaa Island, Estonia. Cruziana isp. is interpreted here as a locomotory trace (repichnia) of an arthropod, possibly a trilobite.
