Exceptionally preserved lacustrine ostracods from the Middle Miocene of Antarctica: implications for high-latitude palaeoenvironment at 77 degrees south.
A newly discovered Konservat-Lagerstätte from the Middle Miocene of the western Olympus Range, Dry Valleys, Antarctica, yields cypridoidean ostracods complete with preserved body and appendages. This is the first record of three-dimensionally fossilized animal soft tissues from the continent. The ostracods are preserved in goethite, secondary after pyrite, representing a novel mode of exception...
متن کاملComparative size evolution of marine clades from the Late Permian through Middle Triassic
—The small size of Early Triassic marine organisms has important implications for the ecological and environmental pressures operating during and after the end-Permian mass extinction. However, this “Lilliput Effect” has only been documented quantitatively in a few invertebrate clades. Moreover, the discovery of Early Triassic gastropod specimens larger than any previously known has called the ...
متن کاملA large predatory archosaur from the Late Triassic of Poland
We describe a new large predatory archosaur, Smok wawelski gen. et sp. nov., from the latest Triassic (latest Norian–early Rhaetian; approximately 205–200 Ma) of Lisowice (Lipie Śląskie clay−pit) in southern Poland. The length of the recon− structed skeleton is 5–6 m and that of the skull 50–60 cm, making S. wawelski larger than any other known predatory archosaur from the Late Triassic and Ear...
متن کاملA trematosauroid temnospondyl from the Middle Triassic of Jordan
Phylogenetic hypotheses, biogeographic dispersal models, and evolutionary scenarios are difficult to form but easy to reject: a single fossil may be sufficient. Previously neglected or inaccessible regions bear high potential for the discovery of such fossils, because they shed light on new faunas with unorthodox combinations of taxa, and sometimes reveal representatives of clades that were not...
متن کاملMyxozoa in high Arctic: Survey on the central part of Svalbard archipelago
UNLABELLED Myxosporeans (Myxozoa), microscopic metazoan parasitic organisms, are poorly studied in the Arctic region. Our survey of benthic and pelagic fish (n = 234) collected in Isfjorden (Svalbard, Norway) together with detailed morphological and molecular examination revealed the presence of nine myxosporean species. We compared observed myxosporean diversity with diversity documented in re...
