A review of the evolution, biostratigraphy, provincialism and diversity of<scp>M</scp>iddle and early<scp>L</scp>ate<scp>T</scp>riassic conodonts

Yanlong Chen, Leopold Krystyn, Michael J. Orchard et al. · 1 Dec 2015

Abstract The taxonomy, diversity, evolutionary lineages, and stratigraphical distributions of M iddle and early L ate T riassic conodonts are reviewed and re‐evaluated. Twenty‐five genera are recognized in the M iddle and early L ate T riassic, including a new genus cited in open nomenclature. Of these, 24 genera are assigned to two families and…

Himalayan Cambrian brachiopods

Leonid E. Popov, Lars E. Holmer, Nigel C. Hughes et al. · 15 Jun 2015

Abstract A synoptic analysis of previously published material and new finds reveals that H imalayan C ambrian brachiopods can be referred to 18 genera, of which 17 are considered herein. These contain 20 taxa assigned to species, of which five are new: E ohadrotreta haydeni , A phelotreta khemangarensis , H adrotreta timchristiorum , P…

New radiodonts with gnathobase‐like structures from the Cambrian Chengjiang biota and implications for the systematics of Radiodonta

Peiyun Cong, Gregory D. Edgecombe, Allison C. Daley et al. · 23 Jun 2018

Abstract A recent description of paired gnathobase‐like structures ( GLS s) in the head region of the radiodont Amplectobelua symbrachiata raised the question of whether these appendicular structures are more widely spread within Radiodonta, putative lower stem‐group euarthropods. Here we describe a new genus of Radiodonta, Ramskoeldia gen. nov., that also bears GLS s. Its…

Stephen F. Poropat, Philip D. Mannion, Paul Upchurch et al. · 12 Nov 2014

Abstract Wintonotitan wattsi , a Cretaceous titanosauriform sauropod from central Queensland, Australia, is redescribed following a full revision of its osteology. The holotype specimen, a partial postcranial skeleton derived from the lower Upper Cretaceous Winton Formation, comprises axial and appendicular elements. Wintonotitan has been commonly resolved as a non‐titanosaurian somphospondylan titanosauriform since its description, in…

A new cynodont from the Santa Maria formation, south Brazil, improves Late Triassic probainognathian diversity

Agustín G. Martinelli, Estevan Eltink, Átila Augusto Stock Da‐Rosa et al. · 22 May 2017

Abstract The fossil record of non‐mammaliaform probainognathian cynodonts is outstanding in the Late Triassic rocks of Brazil and Argentina. Approximately 15 genera are known, providing unique insights in the study of the major skeletal transformations prior to the mammalian condition. Globally, the diversity of probainognathians is possibly under‐represented, as the discovery of small‐ to very…
