P14 T-REXX: first results from the Jurassic beamline

First Results from the High-Brightness X-Ray Spectroscopy Beamline 9.3.1 at ALS

The first definitive Middle Jurassic atoposaurid (Crocodylomorpha, Neosuchia), and a discussion on the genus T heriosuchus

Atoposaurids were a clade of semiaquatic crocodyliforms known from the Late Jurassic to the latest Cretaceous. Tentative remains from Europe, Morocco, and Madagascar may extend their range into the Middle Jurassic. Here we report the first unambiguous Middle Jurassic (late Bajocian-Bathonian) atoposaurid: an anterior dentary from the Isle of Skye, Scotland, UK. A comprehensive review of atoposa...

First Results from the CBI

The Cosmic Background Imager (CBI) is an instrument designed to measure intrinsic anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) on angular scales from about 3 arc minutes to one degree (spherical harmonics of I ~ 4250 to i ~ 400). The CBI is a 13 element interferometer mounted on a 6 meter platform operating in ten 1-GHz frequency bands from 26 to 36 GHz. We present a review of the capa...

The first physics results from

The BaBar experiment and the PEP-II accelerator at SLAC started to take data on May 26, 1999. By the time of this conference, the recorded integrated luminosity was 20 fb −1 , of which 8 fb −1 were analyzed to provide a first set of physics results. This talk reviews the first measurement of sin 2β and the study of B meson decays to charmonium modes and 2-body charmless decays. Complementary re...

First Diagnostic Marine Reptile Remains from the Aalenian (Middle Jurassic): A New Ichthyosaur from Southwestern Germany

BACKGROUND The Middle Jurassic was a critical time in the evolutionary history of ichthyosaurs. During this time interval, the diverse, well-studied faunas of the Lower Jurassic were entirely replaced by ophthalmosaurids, a new group that arose sometime prior to the Aalenian-Bajocian boundary and by the latest middle Jurassic comprised the only surviving group of ichthyosaurs. Thus, the Middle ...
