Burgen outlier (Ludlow, Silurian) of Gotland
“Ludfordian strata exposed in the Burgen outlier in eastern Gotland, Sweden record a time of initial faunal recovery after a global environmental perturbation manifested in the Ludfordian Carbon Isotope Excursion (LCIE). Vertebrate microfossils in the collection of the late Lennart Jeppsson, hosted at the Swedish Museum of Natural History, hold the key to reconstruct the […]

Silurian Transgression of a Palaeoshoreline
“Quarries between Old Radnor and Presteigne, Welsh Borderlands, expose a Silurian nearshore succession, which onlaps a rocky palaeotopography of the Neoproterozoic basement that had been uplifted along the Church Stretton Fault Zone. The succession documents the Aeronian to Sheinwoodian transgression of an island or islands, with the following sequence of events: deposition of shallow marine […]“Quarries between Old Radnor and Presteigne, Welsh Borderlands, expose a Silurian nearshore succession, which onlaps a rocky palaeotopography of the Neoproterozoic basement that had been uplifted along the Church Stretton Fault Zone.

Size reduction of belemnites
“One of the most common responses of marine ectotherms to rapid warming is a reduction in body size, but the underlying reasons are unclear. Body size reductions have been documented alongside rapid warming events in the fossil record, such as across the Pliensbachian-Toarcian boundary (PToB) event (~ 183 Mya). As individuals grow, parallel changes in […]

Nautilid soft parts
“Nautilid, coleoid and ammonite cephalopods preserving jaws and soft tissue remains are moderately common in the extremely fossiliferous Konservat-Lagerstätte of the Hadjoula, Haqel and Sahel Aalma region, Lebanon. We assume that hundreds of cephalopod fossils from this region with soft-tissues lie in collections worldwide. Here, we describe two specimens of Syrionautilus libanoticus (Cymatoceratidae, Nautilida, Cephalopoda) […]“Nautilid, coleoid and ammonite cephalopods preserving jaws and soft tissue remains are moderately common in the extremely fossiliferous Konservat-Lagerstätte of the Hadjoula, Haqel and Sahel Aalma region, Lebanon.

Morphological and genetic variation in Minuca burgersi
“For this study, in addition to museum vouchers, 1437 specimens of Minuca burgersi (Holthuis, 1967) were collected from crab colonies at 105 locations in the western Atlantic Ocean to examine diversity in a species with a large geographic range. Both allometric and geometric morphometry were coupled with the molecular analysis of DNA to give a […]
