The specimen (AM F125866) comprises an articulated, near-complete skeleton, presented in ventral aspect, as well as outlines of soft tissue. The new taxon preserves features that indicate an affinity with Chigutisauridae, confirming previous hypotheses on the presence of large-bodied chigutisaurids in the Triassic of Australia. The new Terrigal chigutisaurid is only the second chigutisaurid known from the Lower Triassic and fourth from Australia overall. The distribution of brachycephalic temnospondyls throughout the Mesozoic suggests specific adaptations led to the long-term survival of chigutisaurids, especially across the end-Triassic extinction event.","PeriodicalId":17597,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43657950","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Piasimotriton kochovi has probably pedicellate teeth. Phylogenetic analysis finds Piasimotriton nests with the Melanerpeton clade with Melanerpeton, Leptorophus, and Schoenfelderpeton, with “Melanerpeton” gracile forming its sister taxon. The possession of various features that are also found in lissamphibians indicates a more widespread distribution of these within their putative stem-group. The stomach content of Piasimotriton kochovi consists of segmented thorax remains of small crustaceans.

The genus Equus is conventionally thought to be a Pleistocene immigrant into Eurasia from North America, and the concurrent appearance of these monodactyl equids in Eurasia around 2.58 Ma is accepted as the Equus Datum. Here, we report on a specimen of Equus found near the village of Jhil, from the latest Pliocene of the Upper Siwaliks of India. The specimen was recovered from sediments that are lithologically equivalent to the Upper Pliocene Saketi Formation, and have been dated paleomagnetically to lie just below the Gauss–Matuyama boundary, therefore, the latest Pliocene. Our comparative work shows that the anatomy of Jhil specimen is consistent with the Early Pleistocene Siwalik horse, Equus sivalensis. Our finding extends the temporal distribution of this species into the latest Pliocene, and adds to our understanding of the variation in this species of horse. We also argue that along with potential latest Pliocene occurrences of Equus from Europe, and accounting for the Signor–Lipps effect, the Equus Datum should be revised as a latest Pliocene event.","PeriodicalId":17597,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46338232","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The comparison of teleost diversity shows similarity to the Aptian (late Early Cretaceous) and less distinctly to the Maastrichtian (latest Cretaceous) assemblages, rather than to its coeval equivalents from Germany and southern England, and indicates that a considerable teleost diversity already existed before the mid-Cretaceous. The vertical succession of otolith taxa in the Wąwał section is in concordance to the pattern already revealed from the succession of bivalves and other benthic invertebrates and it is attributed to sea level and temperature variations. Previously identified causes of benthic invertebrate succession in the Wąwał section are used to infer paleoenvironmental factors governing fish distribution in the Valanginian marine environment recorded at this site. The new findings suggest that the radiation of teleosts started before the Valanginian, and it was a relatively long and apparently gradual process. This fossil association also reveals a significant shift in the abundance ratio of fish otoliths vs. cephalopod statoliths in fully marine deposits, with otoliths much more abundant than the statoliths in Valanginian and younger sediments while it is otherwise in the Jurassic deposits.","PeriodicalId":17597,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48691767","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The evolutionary relationships of this taxon have long been debated and remain uncertain. Using micro-computed tomography (µCT) scans we redescribe the holotype of Anisodontosaurus greeri (UCMP 37804), as well as an additional specimen (MNA.V.1478) that had been informally referred to this taxon. Our new data reveal hidden details of the dentition (i.e., ankylothecodonty and absence of replacement teeth) that, in combination with the tricuspid and mediolaterally expanded crowns, support a referral of both specimens to the archosauromorph clade Trilophosauridae. The referral of MNA.V.1478 to Anisodontosaurus greeri is supported by the unique anatomy of the highly differentiated dentition (i.e., ‘figure of 8’-shaped premolariforms in occlusal views; mesiodistally short tooth row; presence of a distal ‘molariform’ crown). Comparison of Anisodontosaurus greeri with other trilophosaurids highlights marked similarities with Variodens inopinatus from the Upper Triassic deposits of the U.K. Our cladistic analyses confirm these observations, and recover, for the first time, two distinct lineages within Trilophosauridae: one geologically long-lived and comprising Anisodontosaurus and Variodens; and one comprising Tricuspisaurus, Trilophosaurus spp., and Spinosuchus. These results imply that: (i) Anisodontosaurus is one of the oldest known trilophosaurids worldwide and the oldest in North America; (ii) trilophosaurids achieved a broad distribution at low latitudes within western Pangea by the Middle Triassic; (iii) small body sizes were more common than previously thought among trilophosaurids.","PeriodicalId":17597,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42480391","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We quantified the taxonomic diversity among these three assemblages and five other assemblages from both the Hell Creek region and Denver Basin, together spanning the first ca. 300 ka post-K–Pg mass extinction. Our results allowed us to sub-divide the established ‘disaster’ and ‘recovery’ phases of recovery into the following sub-phases: (i) early disaster, characterized by the presence of ‘dead clades walking,’ high relative abundance of bloom taxa, and the appearance of post-mass-extinction immigrants, (ii) late disaster, characterized by a reduction in the number of ‘dead clades walking,’ continued high relative abundance of bloom taxa, and a more diverse assemblage of immigrants, (iii) early recovery, characterized by decreased relative abundance of bloom taxa, and continued immigration, and (iv) late recovery, characterized by the onset of in situ diversification. We note important differences in the pattern and timing of mammalian faunal succession between the Hell Creek and Denver Basin, suggesting that post-K–Pg mammalian recovery was spatially heterogeneous. Our results provided a new model for post-K–Pg mammalian biotic recovery that can now be tested with other earliest Paleocene assemblages across western North America.","PeriodicalId":17597,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48866013","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
