Vertebrate Paleontology of the Cloverly Formation (Lower Cretaceous), II: Paleoecology

Vertebrate microfossil assemblages in terrestrial formations are a promising source of data on the structure of fossil metacommunities. However, the degree to which these deposits capture true, metacommunity-level samples is unknown. Individual deposits may be biased in ways that limit their utility for intraand inter-formation comparisons. This study describes the composition of ten vertebrate...

Introduction and Paleontology of the Middle Tethys Ocean rudists in the Lower Cretaceous in Central Iran

 This research for introduce and paleontology of Early Cretaceous Rudist in the Middle Tethys Ocean, stratigraphic section of the kalleh pahnoo has been selected from the Shahkouh Formation in Central Iran (Khor and Biabank region). The studied section consists of 120 m thin layer to massive limestone. Studies on 106 specimens collected and prepared from this section have led to the identific...

Vertebrate Paleontology of Texas Caves

Vertebrate fossils from Texas caves have been studied for over 75 years. In that time few summary treatments of Texas caves and their fossil faunas have been published. The only reviews focusing specifically on Texas cave vertebrate paleontology sites were written over 20 years ago (Frank, 1964; Lundelius and Slaughter, 1971). Much work on cave sites in Texas has occurred since these reviews. S...
