From tree to shining sea: taphonomy of the arboreal lizard Geiseltaliellus maarius from Messel, GermanyPalaeobiodiversity and Palaeoenvironments - Tập 92 - Trang 45-65 - 2012
Krister T. Smith, Michael Wuttke
Much has been written about the palaeoenvironment of the middle Eocene fossil Lagerstätte of Messel, Germany, and of the taphonomy of the vertebrates found in it, but taphonomic phenomena among the reptiles in this locality are virtually unstudied. The iguanid Geiseltaliellus maarius is the most common lizard species in Messel. We present taphonomic data for this species and analyse it. Specimens ...... hiện toàn bộ
Pappocricetodontinae (Rodentia, Muridae) from the Paleogene of south-east SerbiaPalaeobiodiversity and Palaeoenvironments - Tập 99 - Trang 511-526 - 2018
Hans de Bruijn, Zoran Marković, Wilma Wessels, Andrew A. van de Weerd
Two species of Witenia and a new pappocricetodontine genus and species from the late Eocene and early Oligocene of south-east Serbia are described. The Pappocricetodontinae a subfamily originally based on the small Pappocricetodon rencunensis from China has become a polyphyletic entity due to inclusion of the genus Witenia. The dental morphology of the late Eocene Witenia europea nov. sp. is very ...... hiện toàn bộ
Conodont characteristic of the Lochkovian-Pragian boundary interval in the Mindigulovo section (western slope of the Southern Urals)Palaeobiodiversity and Palaeoenvironments - Tập 97 - Trang 391-404 - 2017
Tatyana M. Mavrinskaya, Olga V. Artyushkova
Conodonts from the Sherlubay (upper Lochkovian) and Kulamat (lower Pragian) Horizons of the Mindigulovo section (western slope of the Southern Urals) were studied in detail. The conodont sequence can be globally correlated. The sequence contains important cosmopolitan taxa. The taxon index of the global zone gilberti was discovered at the top of the Sherlubay Horizon. Overlying Kulamat Horizon in ...... hiện toàn bộ
Lower Miocene alligatoroids (Crocodylia) from the Castillo Formation, northwest of VenezuelaPalaeobiodiversity and Palaeoenvironments - Tập 99 - Trang 241-259 - 2018
Andrés Solórzano, Ascanio D. Rincón, Giovanne M. Cidade, Mónica Núñez-Flores, Leonardo Sánchez
Crocodyliform diversity was particularly high during the middle and late Miocene of South America, with up to 12 species recovered from a single geological unit. Nonetheless, the early Miocene fossil record of low-latitude vertebrates is scarce; hence, crocodylians remain poorly known in the region. The Castillo Formation, located in the northwest of Venezuela, preserves an interesting vertebrate ...... hiện toàn bộ
New late Oligocene rodent faunas from the Pannonian basinPalaeobiodiversity and Palaeoenvironments - Tập 102 - Trang 465-492 - 2021
Andrew A. van de Weerd, Hans de Bruijn, Wilma Wessels, Zoran Marković
The rodent associations from the late Oligocene deposits of Ugljevik and Paragovo in the Pannonian basin are described. Pannoniamys paragovensis, a new genus and species of Spalacidae, is defined. The published data from a third late Oligocene locality in the area (Banovići) is included in the discussion of the changes in community structure through the time-interval studied. Although the composit...... hiện toàn bộ
Diverse and abundant insect herbivory on Miocene Nothofagaceae of the Dunedin Volcano, Otago, New ZealandPalaeobiodiversity and Palaeoenvironments - Tập 96 - Trang 265-279 - 2015
Tammo Reichgelt, Wyn A. Jones, David T. Jones, John G. Conran, Daphne E. Lee
Terrigenous sediments occurring within the mid/upper Miocene Dunedin Volcanic Group in southern New Zealand contain well-preserved leaf-beds, commonly dominated by Nothofagaceae leaf fossils. Abundant insect herbivory traces occur on Nothofagaceae leaf fossils from the Double Hill and Kaikorai Valley localities, including 28 types of external foliage feeding traces, 8 types of galling and a possib...... hiện toàn bộ
Deciphering Dinotheriensande deinotheriid diversityPalaeobiodiversity and Palaeoenvironments - Tập 93 - Trang 121-150 - 2013
Martin Pickford, Zeinolabedin Pourabrishami
Interpretation of the Neogene fluvial deposits of the Ur-Rhein—the Dinotheriensande—has a long history in which fossil mammals have played an ever present role. Most of the collections made prior to the 1930s consist of fossils from more than one biostratigraphic horizon, and this has obscured proper assessment of the age of the fossils from the deposits. As is usual in fluviatile deposits, there ...... hiện toàn bộ
Deciduous cheek teeth of the late Miocene (MN11) Dorn-Dürkheim 1 hipparionine horsesPalaeobiodiversity and Palaeoenvironments - Tập 93 - Trang 191-206 - 2013
Dominik Wolf, Raymond L. Bernor
The study of hipparion deciduous cheek teeth from the Dorn-Dürkheim 1 locality reveals a morphology of these specimens that differs from adult material in featuring less developed occlusal enamel features. Dorn-Dürkheim 1 deciduous cheek teeth are comparable in size to specimens from the early late Miocene (MN9, early Vallesian) Höwenegg and Eppelsheim localities. Size differences are too small to...... hiện toàn bộ
