Turritelline mass accumulations from the Lower Miocene of southern Germany: implications for tidal currents and nutrient transport within the North Alpine Foreland Basin
; ; ; ; (Lethaia, 2019-09-30)
The mass occurrence of turritelline gastropod shells from the Lower Miocene of southern Germany allows for detailed studies of their palaeoecology, transport mechanisms, preservation potentials and the reconstruction of ... -
Quantitative critique of leaf‐based paleo‐CO2 proxies: Consequences for their reliability and applicability
(Geological Journal, 2020-03-18)A variety of proxies have been developed to reconstruct paleo‐CO2 from fossil leaves. These proxies rely on some combination of stomatal morphology, leaf δ13C, and leaf gas exchange. A common conceptual framework for ... -
A small podocnemidoid (Pleurodira, Pelomedusoides) from the Late Cretaceous of Brazil, and the innervation and carotid circulation of side‐necked turtles
(Papers in Palaeontology, 2020-02-12)Abstract Pleurodires are less diverse than cryptodires, together forming the two major lineages of crown turtles. Their fossil record, however, is rich. A particularly large number of fossil pleurodires, many belonging to ... -
Comparing surface digitization techniques in palaeontology using visual perceptual metrics and distance computations between 3D meshes
(Palaeontology, 2021-01-17)Abstract The use of surface digitization techniques and methods in palaeontology has increased in the last two decades, mainly due to recent improvements in devices and software. However, many digitization efforts are ... -
Sporopollenin chemistry and its durability in the geological record: an integration of extant and fossil chemical data across the seed plants
(Palaeontology, 2021-01-31)Abstract Sporopollenin is a highly resistant biopolymer that forms the outer wall of pollen and spores (sporomorphs). Recent research into sporopollenin chemistry has opened up a range of new avenues for palynological ...
