Recent palaeontological data and novel physiological hypotheses now allow a timescaled
reconstruction of the evolution of endothermy in birds and mammals. A three‐phase iterative …

Paleoclimatic time series from Permian and Triassic paleosols reveal transient episodes of
unusually warm and wet conditions, interrupting long periods of cool and dry conditions …

Mammals are the dominant large animals of today, occurring in virtually every environment.
This book is an account of the remarkable 320 million year long fossil record that documents …

Analyses of deltaic facies successions highlight recurring ichnological patterns that reflect a
variety of physicochemical stresses imposed upon infaunal organisms by the interaction of …

Different modes of preservation of root traces (rhizoliths) provide information on soil-
moisture regimes in alluvial paleosols in the Paleogene Fort Union and Willwood formations …

The Mickwitzia sandstone, south-central Sweden, consists of about 10 m of Lower Cambrian
clastic sediments deposited in an epicontinental setting. An in formal, lithologically based …

The southern part of the Karoo Basin of South Africa contains a near complete stratigraphic
record of the Permo-Triassic boundary (PTB). Isotope-and magneto-stratigraphy confirm that …

Abstract Fossil discoveries from South Africa have greatly expanded knowledge of the
development of life on Earth. In particular, the enormous palaeontological wealth of the …

The ichnofacies paradigm endures as the elegant, unifying framework within which accurate
ichnological observations and their reliable environmental interpretations can be derived …

The type, distribution, and tiering of continental trace fossils (ichnofossils) are useful tools for
deciphering continental environments in both outcrop and core. This atlas presents the latest …
