The early fossil record of Caturoidea (Halecomorphi: Amiiformes): biogeographic implications

open access: yesSwiss Journal of Palaeontology, 2023
Caturoidea is a clade of Mesozoic predatory ray-finned fishes which lived mainly in the Jurassic. The clade has a few records in the earliest Cretaceous and only two in the Triassic. Among the latter, specimen MPCA 632 Caturus sp.

Structural and tectonic assessment of the western Huincul High, Neuquén Basin (Argentina)—The role of structural inheritance and mechanical stratigraphy in inversion systems

open access: yesBasin Research, Volume 35, Issue 6, Page 2140-2164, December 2023., 2023
3D visualisation of the Upper Triassic, syn‐extension, top unit 1 showing the key inversion anticlines in the western Huincul High (Neuquen Basin). Abstract The Neuquén Basin is a major Mesozoic sedimentary depocentre located in the retroarc foreland of the Argentinian Andes. The basin hosts world renowned inversion systems that have been the target of

Nondestructive determination of the physical properties of Antarctic meteorites: Importance for the meteorite—parent body connection

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 58, Issue 12, Page 1707-1746, December 2023., 2023
Abstract Photogrammetry is a low‐cost, nondestructive approach for producing 3‐D models of meteorites for the purpose of determining sample bulk density. Coupled with the use of a nondestructive magnetic susceptibility/electrical conductivity field probe, we present measurements for the interrogation of several physical properties, on a set of ...
