THE EARLIEST RECORD FOR HONEYGUIDES (AVES: INDICATORIDAE), FROM THE EARLY PLIOCENE OF SOUTH AFRICA
Two new species of honeyguides (Indicatoridae) are described from the Lower Pliocene Upper Varswater Formation at Langebaanweg, South Africa. One of these species is referred to the genus Indicator, as Indicator sp. (taxon A), and comparable in size to the Lesser Honeyguide (I. minor). It is…

EARLY DELPHINIDA (CETACEA, ODONTOCETI) FROM THE MIOCENE OF THE SOUTHERN NORTH SEA BASIN
The earliest delphinidans (Cetacea, Odontoceti, Delphinida) first appear in the fossil record in the upper Oligocene, but are predominantly known from the Miocene. During the excavation of a series of construction pits in Antwerp (northern Belgium), two fragmentary early delphinidan crania were…

SPOTTED HYAENA SPOTTED ON ISLAND: THE UPPER PLEISTOCENE HYAENAS FROM SAN TEODORO CAVE (SICILY, ITALY) PROVIDE NEW INSIGHTS ON THE PALAEOBIOLOGY, PALAEOECOLOGY, AND SOCIALITY OF CROCUTA
Fossil remains of spotted hyaena (Crocuta crocuta Erxleben, 1777) are commonly found across Eurasian and African Late Pleistocene sites, especially in cave deposits. While this species had a wide geographic distribution, palaeontological evidence of its presence in Quaternary insular settings in…

A NEW CRICKET (ORTHOPTERA: TRIGONIDIIDAE) FROM MID-CRETACEOUS KACHIN AMBER IN NORTHERN MYANMAR
A new species of Trigonidiidae, †Qiongqi multispurous sp. nov., is described from mid-Cretaceous Kachin amber. It can be definitely attributed to the family Trigonidiidae, but excluded from the two extant subfamilies. It also exhibits a different morphology from all reported trigonidiids genera and…

THE LOST CETACEANS OF AMEGHINO: A REVIEW OF QUATERNARY MYSTICETES FROM THE ARGENTINE PAMPAS
Florentino Ameghino described in 1891 the new species Balaena pampaea and the new genus Notiocetus, with the new species N. romerianus and N. platensis. These taxa were based on isolated tympanic bullae coming from different Pleistocene fossiliferous localities of Buenos Aires Province, Argentina…

BALANOGLOSSITES-DOMINATED ICHNOFABRICS AND DIAGENETIC OVERPRINT IN THE EARLY EMSIAN LIMESTONE-DOMINATED SUCCESSION OF THE PRAGUE SYNFORM
The ichnofossil record of the early Emsian limestone-dominated succession in the Prague Synform, including the Bohemian Graptolite Event beds, was studied with a focus on ichnofabric development and its sedimentological and diagenetic implications. The studied interval yields a diverse…

NEW DATA ON THE MID- TO UPPER CRETACEOUS SUCCESSION OF EASTERN SARDINIA IN THE FRAMEWORK OF THE GEOLOGICAL EVOLUTION OF THE TETHYAN REALM
Aimed at integrating knowledge of the Mesozoic succession of eastern Sardinia, two sections of Cenomanian and Santonian ages are presented, and their lithostratigraphical, palaeontological, and biostratigraphical features are described in detail. The former section (Lanaittu, Oliena territory), is…

PALEOENVIRONMENTAL RECONSTRUCTION OF THE OLIGOCENE TRANSGRESSION IN THE CENTRAL-EASTERN TERTIARY PIEDMONT BASIN (NW ITALY): INSIGHTS FROM STRATIGRAPHY, PALEONTOLOGY AND GAMMA-RAY EMISSIONS
This study presents the first integrated lithostratigraphical, paleontological and spectral gamma-ray (SGR) dataset from the central-eastern sector of the Tertiary Piedmont Basin (TPB). The TPB is a late- to post-orogenic sedimentary basin system deposited during a widespread marine transgression…

THE VERTEBRATE FOSSIL ASSEMBLAGE FROM STĂUCENI (BOTOȘANI COUNTY, NORTHEASTERN ROMANIA): A MIXTURE OF MIOCENE AND PLIOCENE–PLEISTOCENE ELEMENTS REVEALING A COMPLEX SEDIMENTARY EVOLUTION ALONG THE MARGIN OF THE EAST EUROPEAN PLATFORM
The fluvial deposits exposed at Stăuceni (northeastern Romania) have traditionally been assigned to the Miocene, due to the presence of cetaceans and seals. However, further investigation of the site has yielded additional fossils indicating a more complex depositional history of the site. Several…

LOWER PLIOCENE FISH OTOLITHS FROM THE CABARRUYAN ISLAND, NORTHERN PHILIPPINES
Fish otoliths are commonly found in the fossil record and are crucial for reconstructing past environments, especially in areas such as the Philippines, where well-preserved fish fossils are rare. This study analyzed fish otoliths from the Lower Pliocene clastic unit in Cabarruyan Island…

CARINTHIASUCHUS KANDUTSCHI, A NEW ARCHOSAUR (REPTILIA: DIAPSIDA) FROM THE TRIASSIC OF AUSTRIA
A partial skeleton of a small reptile with a distinctive maxilla, dentition, caudal vertebrae and osteoderms from the marine Partnach Formation (Ladinian-earliest Carnian) near Jadersdorf (Gitschtal, Hermagor) in the Gailtal Alps of Carinthia (Austria), represents a new archosaur taxon…

LATE EOCENE FISHES FROM THE TUPELO BAY FORMATION OF SOUTH CAROLINA, USA
The Tupelo Bay Formation is an Eocene carbonate unit occurring in the outer Atlantic Coastal Plain of South Carolina, USA. This formation has yielded a rather diverse assemblage of late Eocene fishes that is dominated by sharks (squalomorph and galeomorph) but contains a lesser number of batoid and…

EARLY-STAGE FOSSIL LARVA OF SHIP-TIMBER BEETLES WITH DEFENSIVE PLATE-LIKE ABDOMEN IN BALTIC AMBER
Ship-timber beetles (Lymexyloidea) are represented by elongated adults with specialised maxillae and larvae with specific morphologies of their abdomen end. They are leading wood-associated lifestyles, with larvae spending most of their life within wood. With strong mandibles and saw-like…

‘PARAINOCERAMYA’ PSEUDORETRORSA (INOCERAMIDAE, BIVALVIA) FROM THE DORSOPLANITES PANDERI ZONE (VOLGIAN STAGE, UPPER JURASSIC) OF EUROPEAN RUSSIA
The bivalve species ‘Parainoceramya’ pseudoretrorsa (Gerasimov, 1955) is redescribed. All occurrences of the species are summarized, including those from localities previously unreported. ‘P.’ pseudoretrorsa is widely distributed in the Dorsoplanites panderi Zone of the Middle Volgian Substage from…

CONODONT BIOSTRATIGRAPHY AND LITHOSTRATIGRAPHY OF THE LATE GIVETIAN–EARLY FRASNIAN INTERVAL IN THE ARPI SECTION (CENTRAL ARMENIA)
The Givetian–Frasnian (G–F) transition marks a time of significant palaeoenvironmental perturbations and biotic turnover, yet its stratigraphic record in the southern Caucasus remains poorly constrained. This study presents the first integrated examination of conodont biostratigraphy and…

ANATOMY OF AN UPPER ZANCLEAN MIXED SILICI-BIOCLASTIC TRANSGRESSIVE SYSTEM: THE ROLE OF HIGH-FREQUENCY EUSTASY AND TECTONIC SUBSIDENCE ON THE STRATAL ARCHITECTURE OF THE SPUNGONE SANDSTONE, EASTERN CENTRAL ITALY
The upper Zanclean Spungone Sandstone records the onset of a major transgression along the western margin of the Periadriatic Basin, eastern central Italy, and comprises a 130 m-thick succession of shallow-marine strata characterized by a highly regular cyclical stratigraphy. Integrated analysis of…

UPPER ANISIAN TO LADINIAN AMMONOIDS FROM RASA (SAN SALVATORE DOLOMITE, WESTERN SOUTHERN ALPS, ITALY)
A rich ammonoid collection of 394 specimens from Rasa dolostone, a highly fossiliferous facies of the San Salvatore Dolomite, has been studied. The ammonoids were collected from 17 outcrops in the Rasa Valley (western Lombardy, Varese), a fossil locality known since the 19th century that was never…
