The upper track-bearing layer (L3) has yielded larger footprints that represent the largest theropod tracks ever recorded in Tunisia and are attributable to <em>Eubrontes</em>. These findings indicate that non-avian theropods had a broader stratigraphic and geographic distribution and were more persistently present in the Tataouine Basin throughout the Jurassic than previously recognized.

The latter scenario, or ‘pitfall theory’, grew to be favoured by Dawson and to be depicted in most texts on the history of life, but is here scrutinized following recent discoveries by the authors and re-evaluation of historic finds. Nominally eleven tetrapod taxa have been identified from the fossil trees, including the earliest known amniotes — the richest single Carboniferous record of terrestrial tetrapods. Tetrapods co-occur with detrivorous invertebrates (land snails and millipedes), as well as putative insects. Here, we systematically evaluate scenarios for the occurrence of the tetrapod fauna, including accidental entry (pitfall, being washed in); temporary, opportunistic use (by predator, as refuge from fire); and denning. These scenarios have been weighed against salient aspects of their taphonomy, including their entry prior to infilling, disassembled skeletons, and ubiquitous association with charcoal. The broader role of wildfire is suggested by discovery of a tetrapod-bearing lycopsid with notched, charred base consistent with a fire scar, the oldest such example in the fossil record. Of the scenarios scrutinized, the most parsimonious is that tetrapods utilized lycopsid hollows as dens; compelling analogues are found in tree hollow fauna of modern forest biomes, many of which use fire scars as entry. Temporal shifts to seasonal, fire-prone drylands may have exerted ecological pressure on the Joggins fauna to avail themselves of tree hollows whilst providing access <em>via</em> fire scars.

This paper aims for a precise and in-depth geometric-gitological description of the ore-bearing structures in the Aouli vein system (AVS), as well as their structural-palaeostress analysis and the tectonic–geodynamic setting of their emplacement. Geological mapping allowed identifying several fault-filling sulfide–barite veins cutting the Cambro-Ordovician metasediments and Triassic series.

The structural analysis revealed two main directional systems for these veins: (i) NNE–SSW to NE–WS and (ii) ENE–WSW to E–W.

The calculated palaeostress tensors indicate a NW–SE to N–S subhorizontal to horizontal σ3 axis and a subvertical σ1 axis with tectonic regime index R′ ranging from 0.27 to 0.43. The AVS is controlled by normal faults developed during extensional tectonic events resulting from the Atlasic–Central Atlantic–Tethys rifting stage during the Upper Triassic–Lower Liassic times in the north-western Gondwana margin.

It presents results from three sites: Hemington, Barrow upon Trent, and Aston-on-Trent; each site revealing distinct sedimentary sequences that provide a record of environmental changes. The study employs a multi-disciplinary approach to environmental reconstruction, analysing site stratigraphy, insect remains, as well as pollen and plant macrofossils. The Mutual Climatic Range (MCR) method is used to infer past temperatures based on insect assemblages. The results indicate a predominance of open wetland and herbaceous vegetation during the Lateglacial period, with evidence of reed-swamp habitats. The analysis of pollen and plant macrofossils records demonstrates correspondence between vegetation and climatic conditions, highlighting the significance of these records in understanding climate dynamics. Insects, principally Coleoptera and Trichoptera, indicate cold conditions typical of Lateglacial environments whilst insects from early Holocene Aston suggest conditions slightly more continental than present day. The Lateglacial and early Holocene are periods characterised by rapid, extreme climatic change which reflect tipping points.
