Environmental evolution, faunal and human occupation since 2 Ma in the Anagni basin, central Italy by Fabio Florindo, Fabrizio Marra, Diego E. Angelucci, Italo Biddittu, Luciano Bruni, Federico Florindo, Mario Gaeta, Hervé Guillou, Brian Jicha, Patrizia Macrì, Caterina Morigi, Sebastien Nomade, Fabio Parenti, Alison Pereira, Stefano Grimaldi

“…Abstract We present the study of a composite, yet continuous sedimentary succession covering the time interval spanning 2.6–0.36 Ma in the intramontane basin of Anagni (central Italy) through a dedicated borecore, field surveys, and the review of previous data at the three palaeontological and archaeological sites of Colle Marino, Coste San Giacomo and Fontana Ranuccio. …”

Digitisation as a tool to promote transparency between collections: the case of the Baltic amber from the Königsberg collection at the Museum of Comparative Zoology by Perez-De-La Fuente, R, Gehler, A, Farnum, C, Farrell, B

“…This study showcases the importance of sharing collection data through public digitised records, and highlights the understanding of digitisation not only as a tool of education, public engagement, and research, but also of rediscovery, tracking, repatriation, and ultimately safeguard of the movable palaeontological heritage on a global scale.…”

TESTING THE PROTOZOAN HYPOTHESIS FOR EDIACARAN FOSSILS: A DEVELOPMENTAL ANALYSIS OF PALAEOPASCICHNUS by Antcliffe, J, Gooday, A, Brasier, M

“…These observations suggest that Palaeopascichnus is a body fossil of an unidentified protozoan but is unrepresentative of Ediacaran body construction, in general. © The Palaeontological Association.…”

Repeated species radiations in the recent evolution of the key marine phytoplankton lineage Gephyrocapsa. by Bendif, EM, Nevado, B, Wong, ELY, Hagino, K, Probert, I, Young, JR, Rickaby, REM, Filatov, DA

“…Here we combine morphometric data from the fossil record of the ubiquitous coccolithophore genus Gephyrocapsa with genomic analyses of extant species to assess the genetic processes underlying Pleistocene palaeontological patterns. We demonstrate that all modern diversity in Gephyrocapsa (including Emiliania huxleyi) originated in a rapid species radiation during the last 0.6 Ma, coincident with the latest of the three pulses of Gephyrocapsa diversification and extinction documented in the fossil record. …”

A new pliosaurid (Sauropterygia, Plesiosauria) from the Oxford Clay Formation (Middle Jurassic., Callovian) of England: Evidence for a gracile, longirostrine grade of Early-Middle... by Ketchum, H, Benson, R

Sub-recent microfauna within allogenic sediments at the bottom of a deep cave, Njemica (Biokovo Mt., Croatia) by Tomislav Kurečić, Valentina Hajek Tadesse, Lara Wacha, Marija Horvat, Nina Trinajstić, Ivan Mišur

“…Small, up to decimetre-thick, undisturbed sediment accumulations situated near the siphon lake revealed interesting palaeontological and mineralogical data. These data are used as a useful proxy for discussing depositional processes, the provenance of the sediments and paleo-habitats of the subterranean fauna. …”

Giant trilobites and Other Middle Ordovician Invertebrate Fossils from the Arouca UNESCO Global Geopark, Portugal by Artur Sá, Sofia Pereira, Isabel Rábano, Juan Carlos Gutiérrez-Marco

“…The giant Ordovician trilobites from the Canelas quarry constitute the most iconic sign of identity of the Arouca UNESCO Global Geopark at an international level. Palaeontological studies determined the importance of this fossil locality for studying aspects of the social behavior of these marine arthropods and their interactions with other represented invertebrate fossil groups. …”

Bryozoan Diversity Dynamics at the Devonian–Carboniferous Transition: Evidence from Transcaucasia by Zoya A. Tolokonnikova, Dmitry A. Ruban

“…The Devonian–Carboniferous transition was marked by a series of perturbations in the geological and biological evolution. The palaeontological data from Transcaucasia allowed the bryozoan diversity dynamics on the northern Gondwanan margin (southern periphery of the Palaeo-Tethys Ocean) to be documented at this transition. …”
