Of these, nine are new: Ailuravus mitchelli, Sparnacomys georgei, Neomatronella gassoni, Apatemys prouti, Viverravus lawsoni, Miacis rundlei, Arctocyonides jefferyi, Diacodexis morrisi and Pliolophus barnesi. The genera Peradectes, Palaeosinopa, Plesiesthonyx, Pseudoparamys, Sparnacomys, Neomatronella, Macrocranion, Wyonycteris, Didelphodus, Apatemys, Palaeonictis, Prototomus, Viverravus, Uintacyon, Pachyaena and Phenacodus and the orders Tillodontia and Mesonychia are described for the first time from the UK. The tillodont Franchaius is synonymized with Plesiesthonyx and the valid species reduced to three; the rodent Paramys ageiensis is resurrected and transferred to Pseudoparamys; the bat Eppsinycteris is transferred from Emballonuridae to the new family Eppsinycterididae; the primate Cantius eppsi is shown to be more closely related to North American notharctids than to European cercamoniines; Coryphodon anthracoideus is re-synonymized with C. eocaenus, the identifications of which in North America are modified; cladistic analysis of early North American and European equoids demonstrates a distinct clade on each continent. Correlation of the Blackheath Formation uses European dinocyst and palynological zonations and short-ranged mammal species shared with the Bighorn Basin, USA. Ecological diversity analysis of the Abbey Wood mammal fauna shows that it inhabited a tropical-type forest environment. Taphonomy and stratigraphy suggest a local origin for the mammal assemblage. Selective similarities in the mammals between Abbey Wood and North America suggest that continental interchange via Greenland was climatically controlled half a million years after the Paleocene-Eocene boundary.","PeriodicalId":134015,"journal":{"name":"Monographs of the Palaeontographical Society","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129521634","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is argued that the bispinate type species, E. bispinigerum (Buckman), for which a neotype is designated, is morphologically very close to ammonites from Tethyan and Pacific localities that have been referred in recent literature to the genus Paramicroderoceras Dommergues, Ferretti & Meister. The type species of that genus, namely Microderoceras birchiades Rosenberg, is poorly characterized, and the lectotype designated herein cannot be readily distinguished from Eoderoceras, hence Paramicroderoceras is regarded as a junior synonym. Apart from the type species, which locally dominates a short stratigraphical thickness at its type locality on the Dorset coast, bispinate Eoderoceras are known from only sporadic occurrences in the British Lower Jurassic. However, species interpreted as being the unispinate descendants of Eoderoceras, here accorded generic status as Eteoderoceras gen. nov., are abundant in much of the British Raricostatum Zone and can be divided into a number of different stratigraphically sequential species. The genus Tetraspidoceras Spath is also described as it is thought likely to be a close relative and direct descendant of Eoderoceras that occurs in the British fossil record in the Upper Sinemurian and in the Taylori Subzone of the Jamesoni Zone (Lower Pliensbachian), containing a small number of species. The family Eoderoceratidae, to which these genera belong, is discussed to provide a broader evolutionary context; some important unresolved systematic issues are highlighted.","PeriodicalId":134015,"journal":{"name":"Monographs of the Palaeontographical Society","volume":"126 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122647439","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Gilbertson and presently housed in the Palaeontology Department of the Natural History Museum, London were the core material for the ammonoid descriptions in \"Illustrations of the Geology of Yorkshire. Volume 2\" (Phillips, 1836). Phillips' monograph contained a geological map, sections of outcrops, systematic descriptions and plates of fossils from the Mountain Limestone District in Yorkshire. Phillips' descriptions were much abbreviated, while his original illustrations were pencil and ink drawings. Lack of information on the type species described by Phillips made their identifications in Carboniferous faunas for over 150 years uncertain. Re-examination of ammonoids from the Gilbertson Collection revealed that the type specimens contained in the collection after being re-described and re-figured provide much additional information. There are 182 specimens representing 35 species (3 holotypes, 15 lectotypes, and 58 paralectotypes), the identity of which was confirmed as a result of this study. Examination of Phillips' original drawings and notes in the Library of Oxford University Museum of Natural History and their comparison with the material from the Gilbertson Collection revealed that some illustrations based on specimens from the Gilbertson Collection were omitted from the final publication. These specimens are here re-described and illustrated, and their status as types is confirmed.","PeriodicalId":134015,"journal":{"name":"Monographs of the Palaeontographical Society","volume":"103 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114601987","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ghost lineages implied by theropod phylogenies suggest that the Middle Jurassic was an important time in tetanuran evolution, witnessing the initial radiation and diversification of the clade. However, Middle Jurassic theropod specimens are rare and often incomplete. The holotype specimen of Eustreptospondylus oxoniensis, from the Middle Oxford Clay (upper Callovian) of Oxfordshire, England, represents the most complete Middle Jurassic theropod specimen from Europe. This taxon therefore has the potential to shed much needed light on basal tetanuran evolution at a critical time in the clade's history. Although several previous authors considered the anatomy and systematics of Eustreptospondylus, none of these accounts provided a comprehensive description and their utility is therefore limited. Here, we provide a detailed redescription of Eustreptospondylus and confirm its phylogenetic position as a basal member of Spinosauroidea. The taxon exhibits several anatomical features that appear to be incipient versions of the highly specialized character states found in more derived members of the clade (e.g. development of the premaxillary/maxillary embayment). The results of this work also suggest that Spinosauroidea may have originated in the Middle Jurassic of Europe, later dispersing to Gondwana.","PeriodicalId":134015,"journal":{"name":"Monographs of the Palaeontographical Society","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133750798","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
