Palaeoworld, 2017 Abstract Although both the Yanliao and Jehol vertebrate assemblages are known for exceptional preservation of feathered dinosaurs, mammals, pterosaurs, lizards, salamanders, and fish, the Early Cretaceous Jehol Biota also contains birds, choristoderes, frogs, and turtles that are currently lacking in the Jurassic Yanliao Biota.

Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 2019 Abstract The Yanliao Biota contains numerous exceptionally preserved fossils of evolutionary importance. However, the palaeoenvironment of this biota has not been fully studied. Here we present the first taphonomic and palaeoecological analysis of fossil abundance data from two newly excavated sites in the Daohugou area.

Palaeoworld, 2017 Abstract Recently reported specimens from the Mid-Late Jurassic Yanliao (or Daohugou) Biota and Early Cretaceous Jehol Biota of Northeast China suggest that the early evolution of avian flight involved a surprising amount of homoplasy and evolutionary experimentation.

Palaeontology, 2019 AbstractThe avian digestive system, like other aspects of avian biology, is highly modified relative to other reptiles. Together these modifications have imparted the great success of Neornithes, the most diverse clade of amniotes alive today. It is important to understand when and how aspects of the modern avian digestive system evolved among ...

Palaeontology, 2019 Abstract‘Haramiyidans’ are extinct mammaliaforms often clustered with Multituberculata as Allotheria, and with a fossil record extending from the Upper Triassic to possibly the Upper Cretaceous. For many decades, ‘haramiyidans’ were known only from isolated teeth, and their relationships to other mammaliaforms remain unclear.

Stratigraphic and U-Pb zircon age constraints on the timing of the Yanliao Biota in northern China
Geological Society of America BulletinAbstract The Yanliao Biota from northern China is one of the most famous Mesozoic terrestrial lagerstätten in the world, with well-preserved fossil records in the Jurassic volcanic-sedimentary Ningcheng and Jianchang basins. However, the temporal evolution of the Yanliao Biota remains controversial, mainly due to the confusing ...
