L’enfant de Mezmaiskaya (Caucase) examiné dans une double perspective paléogénétique et paléoanthropologique by Véronique Barriel, Anne-Marie Tillier

“…The palaeogenetic interpretation is examined in the present article based on data available for modern humans (Anderson et al. 1981; HvrBase; http://www.hvrbase.de) and for three Middle Palaeolithic fossils from Germany (Feildhofer 1 and 2 ; Krings et al. 1997; Krings et al. 1999; Schmitz et al. 2002) and Croatia (Vindija-75-G3/h-203; Krings et al. 2000), which are attributed to the Neanderthal line and those of Pan paniscus and the four sub-species of Pan troglodytes (EMBL and GenBank). …”

The articular wrist complex in Miocene and Plio-Pleistocene African hominoids: anatomofunctional and morphometric comparative approach by Guillaume Daver

“…Une approche transdisciplinaire a été conduite d’abord à l’aide de radiographies (n = 10), de dissections (n =14) et d’observations morphologiques (n = 392) puis à l’aide de la morphométrie géométrique 3D appliquée à l’étude des os du complexe fonctionnel capitatum-hamatum (n[capitatum] = 245 ; n[hamatum] = 222 ; n[capitatum fossiles] = 10 ; n[hamatum fossiles] = 6). Ainsi, j’ai montré que pour les mouvements de flexion-extension du poignet, les hominoïdes actuels, à l’image des autres anthropoïdes, présentaient une plus grande mobilité médio-carpienne qu’antébrachio-carpienne. …”

Placenta-Specific Protein 1 Is Conserved throughout the Placentalia under Purifying Selection by Eric J. Devor

“…Silica phytoliths are intrinsic parts of the algae and their morphological characterization can provide the basis for palaeo-reconstruction and taxonomic investigation of brown and red algae in palaeontological studies of fossils where all organic matter has decayed.…”

Micro- and Nanoscale Pore Structure Characterization and Mineral Composition Analysis of Clayey-Silt Hydrate Reservoir in South China Sea by Cheng Lu, Yuxuan Xia, Xuwen Qin, Chao Ma, Hang Bian, Donghui Xing, Hongfeng Lu

“…The mineral composition of the reservoir is mainly quartz and contains a certain amount of clay minerals, mainly illite, while the mineral composition of reservoir rich in microbial fossils is mainly carbonate. The results indicate that the pore structure and mineral composition of natural gas hydrate reservoirs in Shenhu area lay a foundation for the efficient development of the clayey-silt reservoir.…”

Re-evaluation of the Bahariya Formation carcharodontosaurid (Dinosauria: Theropoda) and its implications for allosauroid phylogeny. by Maximilian Kellermann, Elena Cuesta, Oliver W M Rauhut

“…However, due to the destruction of the original material, comparisons of the neotype to the Egyptian fossils have so far only been done cursorily. A detailed reexamination of the available information on the Egyptian carcharodontosaurid, including a previously undescribed photograph of the exhibited specimen, reveals that it differs from the Moroccan neotype in numerous characters, such as the development of the emargination of the antorbital fossa on the nasals, the presence of a horn-like rugosity on the nasal, the lack of a dorsoventral expansion of the lacrimal contact on the frontals, and the relative enlargement of the cerebrum. …”

Integrating paleoparasitological, paleogenetic, and archaeological data to understand the paleoecological scenario of pre-Columbian archaeological site Gruta do Gentio II, Brazil by Ludmila Gurjão, Lorrayne Brito, Ondemar Dias, Jandira Neto, Alena Mayo Iñiguez

“…Paleoparasitology and paleogenetics is the study parasites in ancient remains from latrines, mummified individuals, and coprolites, that is fossilized or desiccated feces. Paleoparasitological studies in Brazil began with analyses of coprolites from the Gruta do Gentio II (GGII) archaeological site, the oldest site related to the Una ceramist tradition (12,000 to 410 BP), Brazil. …”

Depositional Environments and Soft Sediment Deformation in the Early Jurassic Ammonitico Rosso Formation of Western Greece by Vasilis Golfinopoulos, David J. W. Piper, Avraam Zelilidis, Georgia Pe-Piper, Penelope Papadopoulou, Nicolina Bourli, George Iliopoulos

“…The presence of well-preserved fossils, such as planktonic and benthic foraminifera, Radiolaria (both Spumellaria and Nassellaria), and ammonites, allowed precise age determinations, suggesting that the first appearance of <i>Globuligerina</i> might predate previous records, occurring first in the Pliensbachian rather than the Toarcian. …”

Distribution of Trace Elements, Sr-C Isotopes, and Sedimentary Characteristics as Paleoenvironmental Indicator of the Late Permian Linxi Formation in the Linxi Area, Eastern Inner... by Linlin Wang, Yongsheng Zhang, Enyuan Xing, Yuan Peng, Dongdong Yu

“…Based on these investigations, we conclude that the Linxi Formation is mainly composed of clastic sediments, interbedded with limestone lenses, with bioherm limestone at the top of the formation. Inner-layer marine fossils (calcium algae, bryozoans, and sponges) and freshwater and blackish water microfossils (bivalves) are all present, indicative of a typical shallow water sedimentary environment with an open and concussion background. …”

Quantitative evidence for dimorphism suggests sexual selection in the maxillary caniniform process of Placerias hesternus. by James L Pinto, Charles R Marshall, Sterling J Nesbitt, Daniel Varajão de Latorre

“…Alternative explanations to sexual dimorphism that could account for the dimorphism among these fossils include the presence of juveniles in the sample or time-averaged sampling of a chronospecies, but both have been previously rejected for the Placerias Quarry population. …”
