Paleoneurology of Amniotes
This book presents a detailed examination of the current state of knowledge in the field of paleoneurology in the main amniote groups (reptiles, birds and mammals), and advances resulting from new non-invasive technologies. The study of fossil endocasts is an area of considerable current interest, and has long been central to our understanding of the evolution of the brain, development of senses and behavioral adaptations in diverse vertebrate groups and across vertebrates as a whole. Recent advances in non-invasive imaging have significantly increased the number of fossil taxa for which brain morphology is known, and it may now be possible to quantitatively analyze the relative size of brain regions. Providing a general overview of current perspectives and problems in evolutionary neuroanatomy, this book is intended for a wide range of readers, including undergraduate and graduate students, teachers, and anyone with a special interest in paleoneurology. It is also useful as supplementary reading for courses in digital anatomy, vertebrate comparative anatomy, computed morphometrics, paleontology, neurology and radiology as well as evolution programs
An Illustrated Guide to Dinosaur Feeding Biology
This beautifully illustrated exploration of the diversity, anatomy, and evolution of dinosaur feeding adaptations is the first and only in-depth look at this crucial aspect of paleoecology. In An Illustrated Guide to Dinosaur Feeding Biology, experts Ali Nabavizadeh and David B. Weishampel bring dinosaurs to life on the page by exploring and illustrating their feeding adaptations. Whether dinosaurs were carnivorous, herbivorous, or omnivorous, their evolution produced a multitude of specialized adaptations that helped shape their ecologies. Dinosaur skulls show a variety of bone and joint specializations ideal for withstanding stresses and strains induced by high bite forces with strong jaw ...
Late Cretaceous/Paleogene West Antarctica Terrestrial Biota and its Intercontinental Affinities
One of the most intriguing paleobiogeographical phenomena involving the origins and gradual sundering of Gondwana concerns the close similarities and, in most cases, inferred sister-group relationships of a number of terrestrial and freshwater vertebrate taxa, e.g., dinosaurs, flying birds, mammals, etc., recovered from uppermost Cretaceous/ Paleogene deposits of West Antarctica, South America, and NewZealand/Australia. For some twenty five extensive and productive investigations in the field of vertebrate paleontology has been carried out in latest Cretaceous and Paleogene deposits in the James Ross Basin, northeast of the Antarctic Peninsula (AP), West Antarctica, on the exposed sequences ...
Weird Dinosaurs
“A tour de force…highlights the odd reptiles that roamed all corners of the earth millions of years ago.”—Sydney Morning Herald From the outback of Australia to the Gobi Desert of Mongolia and the savanna of Madagascar, the award-winning science writer and dinosaur enthusiast John Pickrell embarks on a world tour of new finds, meeting the fossil hunters who work at the frontier of discovery. He reveals the dwarf dinosaurs unearthed by an eccentric Transylvanian baron; an aquatic, crocodile-snouted carnivore bigger than T. rex that once lurked in North African waterways; a Chinese dinosaur with wings like a bat; and a Patagonian sauropod so enormous it weighed more than two commercial...

Flugsaurier in Deutschland
Flugsaurier in Deutschland stehen im Mittelpunkt des gleichnamigen E-Books. Aus der Triaszeit, in der anderswo vor etwa 220 Millionen Jahren die ersten Langschwanz-Flugsaurier erschienen, sind bisher aus Deutschland keine Flugsaurier bekannt. Die geologisch ältesten Flugsaurier hierzulande stammen aus dem Unterjura vor ungefähr 180 Millionen Jahren. Zahlreiche Flugsaurier-Fossilien aus dem Oberjura vor rund 150 Millionen Jahren liegen aus den Solnhofener Plattenkalken in Bayern vor. Seltenheiten sind Flugsaurier-Funde aus der Kreidezeit vor mehr als 65 Millionen Jahren. Unter den Flugsauriern in Deutschland gab es solche im Adlerformat und andere im Spatzenformat. In Wort und Bild vorgestellt werden auch Flugsaurier aus aller Welt. Unter ihnen gab es wahre Riesen mit bis zu drei Meter langem Kopf, maximal sechs Metern Höhe und einer Flügelspannweite bis zu zwölf Metern.
Tetrápodes do Cretáceo do sul de Goiás, Triângulo Mineiro e Mato Grosso Atividades e Reuniões 2015-2019
O Grupo de Pesquisa“Tetrápodes do Cretáceo de Goiás, Mato Grosso e Pontal do Triângulo Mineiro”, vem realizando diversos trabalhos sobre paleontologia nos estados de Goiás, Mato Grosso e na região de Pontal do Triângulo Mineiro desde o ano de 2015. A região do Triângulo Mineiro sempre foi muito conhecida em todo o Brasil pelas ocorrências de fósseis de vertebrados. Entretanto, os estados de Goiás e Mato Grosso haviam até então sido pouco investigados. O grupo de pesquisa, através dos trabalhos realizados, demonstra a importância paleontológica da região centro-oeste. Neste livro, o leitor irá embarcar nos diversos trabalhos que o grupo de pesquisa “Tetrápodes do Cre...
