Devonian in the eastern Anti‐Atlas
“In some Devonian strata in the eastern Anti-Atlas, fossil invertebrates are abundant, display a high taxonomic diversity and indicate many shifts in palaeoecology. This is reflected in changes in faunal composition of invertebrates and vertebrates. Fossils of jawed vertebrates of late Lochkovian and younger age have been recorded and are relatively common with their abundance […]

Carbon isotope excursion across the interior of the Midland Platform
“Data from Hereford–Worcestershire and the West Midlands were used to study the Homerian carbon isotope excursion (Silurian) and depositional environment Regional differences in relative sea-level changes are recorded and the effect of depositional environment upon δ13Ccarb values is observed. “New δ13Ccarb and microfacies data from Hereford–Worcestershire and the West Midlands allow for a detailed examination of […]“Data from Hereford–Worcestershire and the West Midlands were used to study the Homerian carbon isotope excursion (Silurian) and depositional environment Regional differences in relative sea-level changes are recorded and the effect of depositional environment upon δ13Ccarb values is observed. “New δ13Ccarb and microfacies data from Hereford–Worcestershire and the West Midlands allow for a detailed examination of […]

DNA from micro-invertebrate specimens
“”Resolution of relationships at lower taxonomic levels is crucial for answering many evolutionary questions, and as such, sufficiently varied species representation is vital. This latter goal is not always achievable with relatively fresh samples… Our “Resolution of relationships at lower taxonomic levels is crucial for answering many evolutionary questions, and as such, sufficiently varied species […]“”Resolution of relationships at lower taxonomic levels is crucial for answering many evolutionary questions, and as such, sufficiently varied species representation is vital.

Ontogeny of cephalopod conchs
“Tomographic techniques are expensive and often time consuming. Cephalopods are an ideal object for such studies though. This manuscript aims to infer the number of conch measurements needed to characterize ontogeny. Nautilus pompilius was used for thiscase study and the authors came to the conclusion that for nautiloids “measurements of a conch every 30° and […]

Ontogenetic points to describe a cephalopod conch
“Recent advancements in tomographic techniques allow for detailed morphological analysis of various organisms, which has proved difficult in the past. However, the time and cost required for the post-processing of highly resolved tomographic data are considerable. Cephalopods are an ideal group to study ontogeny using tomography as the entire life history is preserved within a […]

African thylacocephalans from Morocco
“In the eastern Anti-Atlas of Morocco a Famennian Thylacocephalan Layer is exposed. Thylacocephalans occur in great numbers and in a study a new taxon (Concavicaris submarinus n. sp.) was discovered. This is the oldest record of thylacocephalans from Africa. Using micro CT the specimen revealed important anatomical details.”Thylacocephalans are enigmatic arthropods with an erratic Palaeozoic […]“In the eastern Anti-Atlas of Morocco a Famennian Thylacocephalan Layer is exposed.
