The herbivorous sauropod dinosaurs of the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods were the
largest terrestrial animals ever, surpassing the largest herbivorous mammals by an order of …

Misleading interpretations of “gastroliths” in fossil taxa have complicated the use of this term
in palaeontology. This pa− per reviews the definitions and ascribed functions of gastroliths …

During the last few decades, many new ethological categories for trace fossils have been
proposed in addition to the original five given by Seilacher. In this article, we review these …

Fossilized soft tissues of animals (eg muscles, hair and feathers) are valuable sources of
palaeobiological information, but a poor preservation potential makes them undesirably …

Polished pebbles occasionally found within skeletons of giant herbivorous sauropod
dinosaurs are very likely to be gastroliths (stomach stones). Here, we show that based on …

Upper Palaeolithic sites in southwestern France attributed to the Upper Gravettian and the
Solutrean yielded sub spherical gravels with a highly shiny appearance that have intrigued …

This paper reviews from the geological and biological perspectives the achievements of
Russian researchers in the field of geophagy, which have not been published in English. It is …

As one of the earliest-known beaked ornithuromorph birds, Archaeorhynchus spathula is
important for understanding the early evolution of this derived avian clade. Recently, two …

Fossil oral ejecta that exclusively contain bivalved calcitic lower jaws of ammonites (=

The diverse ichnofaunas of the Late Triassic have been studied for almost 200 years. During
the Late Triassic, facies favorable for the preservation of trace fossils were the result of low …
