  • The Giant Pliosaurid That Wasn't—Revising the Marine Reptiles From
    The giant pliosaurid that wasn’t—revising the marine reptiles from the Kimmeridgian, Upper Jurassic, of Krzyżanowice, Poland DANIEL MADZIA, TOMASZ SZCZYGIELSKI, and ANDRZEJ S. WOLNIEWICZ Madzia, D., Szczygielski, T., and Wolniewicz, A.S. 2021. The giant pliosaurid that wasn’t—revising the marine reptiles from the Kimmeridgian, Upper Jurassic, of Krzyżanowice, Poland. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 66 (1): 99–129. Marine reptiles from the Upper Jurassic of Central Europe are rare and often fragmentary, which hinders their precise taxonomic identification and their placement in a palaeobiogeographic context. Recent fieldwork in the Kimmeridgian of Krzyżanowice, Poland, a locality known from turtle remains originally discovered in the 1960s, has reportedly provided additional fossils thought to indicate the presence of a more diverse marine reptile assemblage, including giant pliosaurids, plesiosauroids, and thalattosuchians. Based on its taxonomic composition, the marine tetrapod fauna from Krzyżanowice was argued to represent part of the “Matyja-Wierzbowski Line”—a newly proposed palaeobiogeographic belt comprising faunal components transitional between those of the Boreal and Mediterranean marine provinces. Here, we provide a de- tailed re-description of the marine reptile material from Krzyżanowice and reassess its taxonomy. The turtle remains are proposed to represent a “plesiochelyid” thalassochelydian (Craspedochelys? sp.) and the plesiosauroid vertebral centrum likely belongs to a cryptoclidid. However, qualitative assessment and quantitative analysis of the jaws originally referred to the colossal pliosaurid Pliosaurus clearly demonstrate a metriorhynchid thalattosuchian affinity. Furthermore, these me- triorhynchid jaws were likely found at a different, currently indeterminate, locality. A tooth crown previously identified as belonging to the thalattosuchian Machimosaurus is here considered to represent an indeterminate vertebrate.

    A list of the Odonata of Honduras Sidney W. Dunkle* SUMMARY. The 147 species of dragonflies and damsel- fliesknownfrom Honduras are usted, along with their distribution by political department. Of these records, 54 are new for Honduras, including 9 which extend known ranges of species northward or southward. RESUMEN. Las 147 especies de libélulas conocidas en Honduras son mencionados junto con su distribución por depar- tamento. De esta cifra, 54 especies son nuevas en Honduras. Nueve especies han ampliado sus límites geográficos llegando a este país por el sur y por el norte. Very little has been written about the Odonata of Hondu- ras. Williamson (1905) gave some notes on collecting in Cortes De- partment, mostly near San Pedro Sula, but did not ñame the species taken. Williamson (1923b) briefly discussed the habitat of 4 species of Hetaerina collected near San Pedro Sula. Paulson (1982) in his table of Odonata occurrences in Central American countrieslisted 94 species íromHondur as. ArgiadifficilisSe\y$ has been deleted from the Honduran list because it is thought not to occur in Central America, and was confused with A. oculata Hagen (R. W. Garrison, pers. comm.). The list below includes 54 more species for a total of 147. Of the new records, 5 extend the known ranges of species southward and 4 extend ranges northward. Paulson (1982) listed 54 other species which occur both north and south of Honuras, and therefore can be expected in that country.

  • Highly Derived Eutherian Mammals from the Earliest Cretaceous of Southern Britain
    Editors' choice Highly derived eutherian mammals from the earliest Cretaceous of southern Britain STEVEN C. SWEETMAN, GRANT SMITH, and DAVID M. MARTILL Sweetman, S.C., Smith, G., and Martill, D.M. 2017. Highly derived eutherian mammals from the earliest Cretaceous of southern Britain. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 62 (4): 657–665. Eutherian mammals (Placentalia and all mammals phylogenetically closer to placentals than to marsupials) comprise the vast majority of extant Mammalia. Among these there is a phenomenal range of forms and sizes, but the origins of crown group placentals are obscure. They lie within the generally tiny mammals of the Mesozoic, represented for the most part by isolated teeth and jaws, and there is strongly conflicting evidence from phenomic and molecular data as to the date of origin of both Eutheria and Placentalia. The oldest purported eutherians are Juramaia from the Upper Jurassic of China, and Eomaia and Acristatherium from the Lower Cretaceous, also of China. Based on dental characters and analyses of other morphological and molecular data, doubt has recently been cast on the eutherian affinities of the Chinese taxa and consequently on the date of emergence of Eutheria. Until now, the only tribosphenic mammal recorded from the earliest Cretaceous (Berriasian) Purbeck Group of Britain was the stem tribosphenidan Tribactonodon. Here we document two new tribosphenic mammals from the Purbeck Group, Durlstotherium gen. nov. and Durlstodon gen. nov., showing highly derived eutherian molar characters that support the early emergence of this clade, prior to the Cretaceous. Key words: Mammalia, Eutheria, dentition, Early Cretaceous, Purbeck Group, Britain, UK. Steven C. Sweetman [[email protected]], Grant Smith [[email protected]], and David M.

  • From the Portland and Purbeck Groups (Tithonian–Berriasian) of Dorset, United Kingdom
    New thoracican cirripedes (Crustacea) from the Portland and Purbeck Groups (Tithonian–Berriasian) of Dorset, United Kingdom Andy Galea aSchool of Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of Portsmouth, Burnaby Building, Burnaby Road, Portsmouth PO1 3QL, United Kingdom E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. The first cirripedes from the Portland and Purbeck groups of southern England are described, and referred to two new species, Loriolepas whytei sp. nov and Etcheslepas portlandensis sp. nov. They constitute the first records of cirripedes from the upper Tithonian (uppermost Jurassic) and Berriasian (lowermost Cretaceous) of western Europe. A new family, the Archaeolepadidae, is introduced for the extinct genera Archaeolepas and Loriolepas. Key words. Jurassic, Cretaceous, stalked barnacles, southern England Introduction In 1928, Thomas Withers described the meagre cirripede material from the British Upper Jurassic, consisting of a small number of mostly broken valves washed from the Kimmeridge Clay of Buckinghamshire. In the Lower Cretaceous, the marine pre-Aptian strata had yielded only a single species from the Speeton Clay (Hauterivian) of Speeton, Yorkshire. Recent discoveries by Steve Etches (Etches Collection, Kimmeridge) of magnificently preserved, and locally abundant, cirripedes from the Kimmeridge Clay in Dorset have considerably improved our understanding of the taxonomy, phylogeny and palaeoecology of Late Jurassic forms (Gale 2014, 2018), but they remained unknown from the overlying Portland Group. In 2015, during a field excursion for students of the University of Portsmouth to Freshwater, on the Isle of Portland (Fig. 1) I collected a number of cirripede valves from the Cherty Member of the Portland Stone Formation, and further specimens on a subsequent visit.

  • Aspects of the Microvertebrate Fauna of the Early Cretaceous (Barremian) Wessex Formation of the Isle of Wight, Southern England
    ASPECTS OF THE MICROVERTEBRATE FAUNA OF THE EARLY CRETACEOUS (BARREMIAN) WESSEX FORMATION OF THE ISLE OF WIGHT, SOUTHERN ENGLAND By STEVEN CHARLES SWEETMAN M.A. (Oxon.) 1980 F.G.S. A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of Portsmouth School of Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of Portsmouth, Burnaby Building, Burnaby Road, Portsmouth, PO1 3QL, U.K. April, 2007 0 Disclaimer Whilst registered for this degree, I have not registered for any other award. No part of this work has been submitted for any other academic award. 1 Acknowledgements At inception of this project there was a significant risk that the Wessex Formation would not yield a microvertebrate fauna. I would, therefore, like to express special thanks to Dave Martill (University of Portsmouth) for his initial support and for securing the research scholarship which made this study possible. I would also like to thank him for his supervision, generous support, encouragement and advice thereafter. Special thanks also to Susan Evans (UCL) for her enthusiastic help and advice on all matters relating to microvertebrates in general, and lizards in particular, and to Jerry Hooker (NHM) for everything relating to mammals; also to Brian Gasson for his support in the field and for the generous donation of many exceptional specimens from his private collection. The broad scope of this study has engendered the help, support and advice of many others and I am grateful to all. At the University

  • Dinosaur Tracks 2011
    The Early Cretaceous (late Berriasian) Bückeberg Formation in the southern Lower Saxony Basin, to Annette Richter, Mike Reich (Eds.) the west and to the south of Hannover, yields abundant and diverse dinosaur tracks, known since the late 1870s. After a few decades of pioneering and discovery, this area was scientifi cally neglected for a long time concerning dinosaur tracks and tracksites, and only single sporadic fi nds were reported in the second half of the 20th century. During 2007 and 2008, a new tracksite was discovered in Dinosaur Tracks 2011 Obernkirchen, yielding an astonishing amount of new and well-preserved dinosaur tracks, cared for by the Hannover State Museum and its cooperational partners. The present volume contains the An International Symposium, abstracts of lectures and posters presented during the Dinosaur Track Symposium 2011 as well as Obernkirchen, April 14-17, 2011 excursion and collection guides. On behalf of the Schaumburger Landschaft, this symposium was held at the medieval Stift Obernkirchen, Germany, from April 14th to 17th, 2011.
