  • Constraints on the Timescale of Animal Evolutionary History
    Palaeontologia Electronica palaeo-electronica.org Constraints on the timescale of animal evolutionary history Michael J. Benton, Philip C.J. Donoghue, Robert J. Asher, Matt Friedman, Thomas J. Near, and Jakob Vinther ABSTRACT Dating the tree of life is a core endeavor in evolutionary biology. Rates of evolution are fundamental to nearly every evolutionary model and process. Rates need dates. There is much debate on the most appropriate and reasonable ways in which to date the tree of life, and recent work has highlighted some confusions and complexities that can be avoided. Whether phylogenetic trees are dated after they have been estab- lished, or as part of the process of tree finding, practitioners need to know which cali- brations to use. We emphasize the importance of identifying crown (not stem) fossils, levels of confidence in their attribution to the crown, current chronostratigraphic preci- sion, the primacy of the host geological formation and asymmetric confidence intervals. Here we present calibrations for 88 key nodes across the phylogeny of animals, rang- ing from the root of Metazoa to the last common ancestor of Homo sapiens. Close attention to detail is constantly required: for example, the classic bird-mammal date (base of crown Amniota) has often been given as 310-315 Ma; the 2014 international time scale indicates a minimum age of 318 Ma.

  • New Osteichthyans (Bony Fishes) from the Devonian of Central Australia
    Mitt. Mus. Nat.kd. Berl., Geowiss. Reihe 8 (2005), 13–35 / DOI 10.1002/mmng.200410002 New osteichthyans (bony fishes) from the Devonian of Central Australia Gavin C. Young*,1 & Hans-Peter Schultze2 1 Department of Earth & Marine Sciences, Australian National University, Canberra 0200, Australia 2 Museum fu¨ r Naturkunde der Humboldt-Universita¨t zu Berlin, Invalidenstr. 43, D-10115 Berlin, Germany Private: 2001 Vermont St., Lawrence, Kansas 66046, USA Received 30 October 2004, accepted 3 May 2005 Published online 02. 11. 2005 With 10 figures and 2 tables Key words: Osteichthyans, dipnoans, osteolepidids, onychodontids, Devonian, central Australia. Abstract Osteichthyan remains described from two localities in Central Australia (Mount Winter, Amadeus Basin, and southern Toom- ba Range, Georgina Basin) include the dipnoan Amadeodipterus kencampbelli n. gen., n. sp., the osteolepidid Muranjilepis winterensis n. gen., n. sp., and the onychodontid Luckeus abudda n. gen., n. sp., as well as indeterminate holoptychiid scales, osteolepidid scales of a new type from the Georgina Basin locality, and indeterminate onychodontid remains from both local- ities. Amadeodipterus n. gen. is a short-headed dipterid dipnoan with bones A and H enclosed into the skull roof; Muranjilepis n. gen. is a small form with short postparietal and parietoethmoidal shields, large orbits, and large pores of the sensory line system. It is closest to Thursius, and some Chinese osteolepidid material. Luckeus n. gen. is based on an onychodontid lower jaw with Meckel’s cartilage separately ossified perichondrally from the dentary and infradentary, and carrying the parasym- physial tooth whorl. Different osteichthyan taxa at the two localities indicate a difference in age and/or palaeoenvironment within the Early-Middle Devonian.
