Palaeoecology and palaeoenvironment of the Aquitanian locality Ulm-Westtangente (MN2, Lower Freshwater Molasse, Germany)Swiss Journal of Palaeontology - Tập 131 - Trang 183-199 - 2011
Loïc Costeur, Olivier Maridet, Stéphane Peigné, Elmar P. J. Heizmann
The mammalian fauna of the German locality Ulm-Westtangente from the Aquitanian Lower Freshwater Molasse is investigated. The fauna is compared to other rich European localities of the same time period. It is shown to be one of the richest localities for fossil mammals and brings interesting insights into the composition of the Aquitanian European faunas. Sixty-one species are identified and high ...... hiện toàn bộ
The nature of the platyceratid–crinoid association as revealed by cross-sectional data from the Carboniferous of Alabama (USA)Swiss Journal of Palaeontology - Tập 137 - Trang 177-187 - 2018
Tomasz K. Baumiller, Forest J. Gahn
The association of Paleozoic crinoids and platyceratid gastropods has drawn the attention of paleontologists for nearly 200 years. It has been variably interpreted as predatory, commensalistic, mutualistic or parasitic. Previous cross-sectional analyses of large populations of crinoids and platyceratids have favored the parasitic explanation for the interaction because of data suggesting that the ...... hiện toàn bộ

Ontogenetic variation in the cranium of Mixosaurus cornalianus, with implications for the evolution of ichthyosaurian cranial developmentSwiss Journal of Palaeontology - Tập 142 - Trang 1-23 - 2023
Feiko Miedema, Gabriele Bindellini, Cristiano Dal Sasso, Torsten M. Scheyer, Erin E. Maxwell
Relatively complete ontogenetic series are comparatively rare in the vertebrate fossil record. This can create biases in our understanding of morphology and evolution, since immaturity can represent a source of unrecognized intraspecific variation in both skeletal anatomy and ecology. In the extinct marine reptile clade Ichthyopterygia, ontogenetic series were widely studied only in some Jurassic ...... hiện toàn bộ
‘Arm brains’ (axial nerves) of Jurassic coleoids and the evolution of coleoid neuroanatomySwiss Journal of Palaeontology - Tập 142 - Trang 1-22 - 2023

Although patchy, the fossil record of coleoids bears a wealth of information on their soft part anatomy. Here, we describe remains of the axial nerve cord from both decabrachian (Acanthoteuthis, Belemnotheutis, Chondroteuthis) and octobrachian (Plesioteuthis, Proteroctopus, Vampyronassa) coleoids from the Jurassic. We discuss some hypotheses reflecting on possible evolutionary drivers behind the n...... hiện toàn bộ
Caviomorph rodents from the Pampean region (Argentina) in the historical Santiago Roth Collection in SwitzerlandSwiss Journal of Palaeontology - Tập 142 - Trang 1-14 - 2023
Leonardo Kerber
Here I reviewed the Pleistocene caviomorphs collected by Santiago Roth (collection from Catalog No. 5) and housed at the paleontological collection of the Paläontologisches Institut und Museum, Universität Zürich, Zurich (Switzerland). The fossils were found in Pleistocene strata from Buenos Aires and Santa Fé provinces (Argentina) during the late nineteenth century. The material includes cranioma...... hiện toàn bộ
