The first pterosaur from the Bauru Group: an azhdarchid from the Upper Cretaceous of Brazil

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 11, Issue 5, September/October 2025.
Abstract The vertebrate fossil record of the Bauru Group (Upper Cretaceous, southeastern Brazil) is remarkably rich, with a predominance of titanosaurs and crocodyliforms, alongside theropods, turtles, squamates, fishes and even small mammals. In contrast, pterosaur remains from the Bauru Group have remained elusive until now.

Systematic Slowing of Initially Rapid Retreat of New Coasts Formed by Historical Eruptions in Volcanic Islands

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 130, Issue 8, August 2025.
Abstract Due to their exposure to waves, volcanic island coasts typically retreat with cliff collapses and other erosional processes. Understanding how retreat rates vary over time and in response to environmental and other factors could be useful for geohazard assessment, coastal management and landform reconstruction.
