Three horsehair worms (Nematomorpha) are recorded from Nagaland, India. The first species is Chordodes combiareolatus, which was recently described from Nagaland. The second is Chordodes cf. furnessi, earlier reported from Meghalaya, and some new observations are added. The third is a new species, described as Beatogordius nagalandissp. n. This is the first report of the genus Beatogordius in I...

The Middle Permian Tapinocephalus Assemblage Zone in South Africa has produced a rich record of tetrapods domi− nated by dinocephalian therapsids and pareiasaurid para− reptiles. In this study we reassess the affinities of a specimen from this horizon previously identified as a procolophonoid and provide evidence that it is instead referable to a nyctero− leter parareptile, an identification th...

Abstract New detrital U–Pb zircon ages from the Sanandaj–Sirjan metamorphic zone in Zagros orogenic belt allow discussion of models late Neoproterozoic to early Palaeozoic plate tectonic evolution and position Iranian microcontinent within a global framework. A total 194 valid age values 362 grains were obtained three garnet-micaschist samples. The most abundant population included Ediacaran ag...
