A key for the description of Palaeozoic ammonoids

Dieter Korn · 1 Feb 2010

<strong class="journal-contentHeaderColor">Abstract.</strong> A key for the description of Palaeozoic ammonoids is presented. It contains a catalogue of descriptive terms to characterise conch morphology, ornament, and suture line particularly of Carboniferous ammonoids. A number of examples of tables and illustrations are given for the description of conch characters, their ontogeny and intraspecific variability. <br><br> doi:<a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/mmng.200900008"…

An overview of the pterosaur assemblage from the Cambridge Greensand (Cretaceous) of Eastern England

David M. Unwin · 22 Apr 2008

The Cambridge Greensand, a remanié deposit that crops out in Cambridgeshire, eastern England, has yielded numerous, though fragmentary, late Early Cretaceous (Albian) vertebrate fossils including more than 2000 isolated pterosaur bones. So far, 32 species of pterosaur have been proposed in connection with the Cambridge Greensand material, but there has been and continues to be…

Assembling the history of the Parareptilia: phylogeny, diversification, and a new definition of the clade

Linda A. Tsuji, Johannes Müller · 1 Feb 2009

<strong class="journal-contentHeaderColor">Abstract.</strong> In the present study, the historical development of Parareptilia as a phylogenetically valid clade is summarized, and for the first time a modern phylogenetic definition of both Parareptilia as well as Eureptilia is presented, which will facilitate the study of problems of early amniote classification. Furthermore, a preliminary study of the rates of…

On the systematic and stratigraphic significance of pterosaurs from the Lower Cretaceous Yixian Formation (Jehol Group) of Liaoning, China

David M. Unwin, Junchang Lü, Natalie N. Bakhurina · 22 Apr 2008

A reassessment of the systematic relationships of pterosaurs from the Lower Cretaceous Yixian Formation of Liaoning Province, China, shows that Dendrorhynchoides should be reassigned to the Anurognathidae (“Rhamphorhynchoidea”) and that Eosipterus possibly belongs within Ctenochasmatidae (Pterodactyloidea). These pterosaurs formed an integral part of a diverse community that inhabited lowland terrestrial environments in the region of…
