It is diverse, with many angiosperms, especially representatives of the clades magnoliids, monocotyledons and eudicots, which confirms the assumption that angiosperm diversity during the last part of the Early Cretaceous was reasonably high. The morphology of a new fossil monocot is studied and compared to all other Smilacaceae genus, especially in the venation. Cratosmilax jacksoni gen. et sp. nov. can be related to the Smilacaceae family, becoming the oldest record of the family so far.

About 26,840 species are contained within the Teleostei, accounting for more than half of all living vertebrates and over 96% of all living fishes. Teleosts comprise 517 families, of which 69 are extinct, leaving 448 extant families; of these, about 43% have no fossil record.

This type of tail primitively results from an ontogenetic fusion of centra (bodies of vertebrae) and the possession of paired bracing bones located bilaterally along the dorsal region of the caudal skeleton, derived ontogenetically from the neural arches (uroneurals) of the ural (tail) centra.

Des portefeuilles renfermant des calques en mauvais état complétaient ce versement. Les documents conservés dans des chemises sans classement apparent n'avaient subi aucun tri préalable et étaient dans le plus grand désordre. L'examen de l'ensemble du fonds n'a pas permis de retrouver trace du cadre de classement propre aux archives du génie ; de plus, les documents recouvrent une période chronologique (1920-1960) durant laquelle l'organisation territoriale du service du génie au Maroc a constamment évolué : c'est ainsi qu'en 1924, il n'existait que deux directions, Casablanca et Fez, puis en 1935, s'ajouta celle de Meknès. Après la guerre, une restructuration vient encore bouleverser l'organisation existante ; une chefferie a pu ainsi dépendre successivement de plusieurs directions et les papiers d'une même affaire se trouvent ainsi dispersés dans différents dossiers. Aussi a-t-il parut plus cohérent d'adopter un classement par place qui permet de suivre l'évolution des problèmes domaniaux propres à une chefferie.

  • 7.2.1. Introduction
    Veldmeijer Cretaceous, toothed pterosaurs from Brazil. A reappraisal 1. Introduction Campos & Kellner (1985b) related that references to flying reptiles from Brazil (not from the Araripe Basin) were made as early as the 19th century, but the first find from Chapada do Araripe was described as late as the 1970s (Price, 1971, post–cranial remains of Araripesaurus castilhoi). Wellnhofer (1977) published the description of a phalanx of a wing finger of a pterosaur from the Santana Formation and named it Araripedactylus dehmi. Since then, much has been published on the pterosaurs from Brazil, and there has been an increasing interest in the material from this area, resulting in an increase in scientific interest in pterosaurs in general. The plateau of the Araripe Basin, in northeast Brazil on the boundaries of Piaui, Ceará and Pernambuco (figure 1.1) was already famous for its well preserved fossils, escpacially fish (e.g. Maisey, 1991), long before the area became the most important source of Cretaceous pterosaur fossils. At present, it is the most important area for Cretaceous pterosaurs globally, although an increasing number of finds are reported from China (e.g. Lü & Ji, 2005; Wang & Lü, 2001 and Wang & Zhou, 2003). Some of the Brazilian material is severely compacted (Crato Formatin; Frey & Martill, 1994; Frey et al., 2003a, b; Sayão & Kellner, 2000) and preserved on a laminated limestone comparable to that of Solnhofen. (The type locality of most, if not all, pterosaur fossils from the Araripe Basin is uncertain, because no systematic, scientically based excavations or even surveys have been done in this area.

  • 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.

Hunt, Spencer G. Lucas, and Andrew B. Heckert, 2005, pp. 357-366 in: Geology of the Chama Basin, Lucas, Spencer G.; Zeigler, Kate E.; Lueth, Virgil W.; Owen, Donald E.; [eds.], New Mexico Geological Society 56th Annual Fall Field Conference Guidebook, 456 p. This is one of many related papers that were included in the 2005 NMGS Fall Field Conference Guidebook. Annual NMGS Fall Field Conference Guidebooks Every fall since 1950, the New Mexico Geological Society (NMGS) has held an annual Fall Field Conference that explores some region of New Mexico (or surrounding states). Always well attended, these conferences provide a guidebook to participants. Besides detailed road logs, the guidebooks contain many well written, edited, and peer-reviewed geoscience papers. These books have set the national standard for geologic guidebooks and are an essential geologic reference for anyone working in or around New Mexico. Free Downloads NMGS has decided to make peer-reviewed papers from our Fall Field Conference guidebooks available for free download. Non-members will have access to guidebook papers two years after publication. Members have access to all papers. This is in keeping with our mission of promoting interest, research, and cooperation regarding geology in New Mexico. However, guidebook sales represent a significant proportion of our operating budget. Therefore, only research papers are available for download. Road logs, mini-papers, maps, stratigraphic charts, and other selected content are available only in the printed guidebooks.

  • 'Placoderm' (Arthrodira)
    Jobbins et al. Swiss J Palaeontol (2021) 140:2 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13358-020-00212-w Swiss Journal of Palaeontology RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access A large Middle Devonian eubrachythoracid ‘placoderm’ (Arthrodira) jaw from northern Gondwana Melina Jobbins1* , Martin Rücklin2, Thodoris Argyriou3 and Christian Klug1 Abstract For the understanding of the evolution of jawed vertebrates and jaws and teeth, ‘placoderms’ are crucial as they exhibit an impressive morphological disparity associated with the early stages of this process. The Devonian of Morocco is famous for its rich occurrences of arthrodire ‘placoderms’. While Late Devonian strata are rich in arthrodire remains, they are less common in older strata. Here, we describe a large tooth-bearing jaw element of Leptodontich- thys ziregensis gen. et sp. nov., an eubrachythoracid arthrodire from the Middle Devonian of Morocco. This species is based on a large posterior superognathal with a strong dentition. The jawbone displays features considered syna- pomorphies of Late Devonian eubrachythoracid arthrodires, with one posterior and one lateral row of conical teeth oriented postero-lingually. μCT-images reveal internal structures including pulp cavities and dentinous tissues. The posterior orientation of the teeth and the traces of a putative occlusal contact on the lingual side of the bone imply that these teeth were hardly used for feeding. Similar to Compagopiscis and Plourdosteus, functional teeth were pos- sibly present during an earlier developmental stage and have been worn entirely. The morphological features of the jaw element suggest a close relationship with plourdosteids. Its size implies that the animal was rather large. Keywords: Arthrodira, Dentition, Food web, Givetian, Maïder basin, Palaeoecology Introduction important to reconstruct character evolution in early ‘Placoderms’ are considered as a paraphyletic grade vertebrates.

  • Große Exkursion Marokko 2013
    Große Exkursion der Geographischen Gesellschaft München Marokko: Land zwischen Tradition und Moderne Leitung: Prof. Dr. Herbert Popp, Bayreuth (ehemals München) von Samstag, 23. März 2013 bis Samstag, 6. April 2013 Marokko als das sicherlich faszinierendste Land in Nordafrika hat eine lange Geschichte und Tradition: von den Berbern und Römern über das Sultanat und die europäischen Kolonialherren (insbesondere Frankreich von 1912-1956) zur Unabhängigkeit und Neukonstituierung als Königreich. Im Unterschied zu manchen seiner Nachbarn war Marokko in den letzten Jahr- zehnten politisch stabil und wirtschaftlich erfolgreich. Zahlreiche Modernisierungsprozesse haben in dem Land eine leistungsfähige Bewässerungslandwirtschaft, dynamisch expandierende, quirlige Städte und einen sehr vielgestaltigen und aktiven Tourismus entstehen lassen. Zugleich konnte das Land noch zahlreiche Traditionen bewahren, die insbesondere für die europäischen Besucher aufgrund der Photogenität ihrer sichtbaren Ausprägungen eine Art „lebender Orient“ vermitteln. Die Altstädte (Medinen) der „Königsstädte“, die ländlichen Wochenmärkte (Souks) mit ihren farbenfrohen und lebendigen Angeboten, die schnee- und zedernbedeckten Gebirge von Hohem bzw. Mittlerem Atlas mit ihren reizvollen Lehmdörfern und ihrer gastfreundlichen Berberbevölkerung, die Sandwüstenfelder saharischer Prägung und die in sattem Grün erscheinenden Flussoasen südlich des Atlasgebirges (vor allem entlang der sog. „Straße der Kasbahs“) sind nur einige, besondere bekannte Attraktionen, die dieses Land dem
