Stratigraphy and Palaeontology of the Late Cretaceous Wapiti Formation, west-central Alberta, Canada
A complete stratigraphic assessment and revision of the middle Campanian to upper Maastrichtian Wapiti Formation in north-western Alberta and north-eastern British Columbia is the main aim of this research project. The study area encompasses an area of approximately 200X180 km in the Grande Prairie …

Palaeontology and biostratigraphy of the Lower Cretaceous Qihulin Formation in eastern Heilongjiang, northeastern China
The purpose of the study was to provide conclusive evidence for a chronostratigraphical assignment of the Qihulin Formation of the Longzhaogou Group exposed in Mishan and Hulin counties of eastern Heilongjiang, northeastern China. To develop an integrated view of the formation, all collected fossil …

The sedimentology, palaeontology and stratigraphy of coastal-plain deposits at Hondeklip Bay, Namaqualand, South Africa
The exposures in diamond mines on the Namaqualand west coast of South Africa provide a rare opportunity to examine a record that is normally inaccessible beneath a thick cover of aeolian sands. This study presents the main results of fieldwork in mine excavations on the farms Hondeklip and …

… with extinction), it also opens new prospects in palaeontology. This kind of analysis was indeed applied to samples of fossils of North African brown bears (Ursus arctos). The last chapter of this manuscript illustrates how the palaeogenetics can help palaeontology interpreting the variability of …

Landscape ruin: groundmass excavation at Higgovale Quarry
… consists of an inquiry into archaeology and palaeontology, and the relationship of 'the dig' to landscape. I focus on the idea that digging or excavating is a process that can reveal ancient landscapes and suggest new narratives. My research revolves around ruin discourse, and the idea that a …

Sampled ancestors and dating in Bayesian phylogenetics
… to other sampled patients. Similarly, in palaeontology, cladograms of fossil taxa traditionally have not contained sampled ancestors. Recently, it has been recognised that the probability of sampled ancestors is not negligible among fossil taxa and the methods that use fossils to date …

Applications of neutron radiography & tomography
… draw examples from a number of different fields (palaeontology, archaeology, and fluid mechanics, for example), but also to improve the performance of the instrumentation and methodology, and to establish novel techniques that will further the applicability of neutron imaging. An illustration of …

The Middle to Late Cretaceous microbiostratigraphy (foraminifera) and lithostratigraphy of the Cauvery Basin, Southeast India
… tectonics. A pilot study demonstrates how palaeontology (including ichnology) in conjunction with sedimentology and stratigraphy is used to apply sequence stratigraphy concepts to the late Turonian-Coniacian succession in the Basin. A comprehensive study of Teredolites-infested fossil wood …

Drowned landscapes of the Belgian Continental Shelf : implications for northwest European landscape evolution and preservation potential for submerged heritage
… The preservation potential for archaeology and palaeontology has been visualised for the first time. Profile type mapping was used as a technique. The maps can be used as a guidance tool for preservation potential assessment at sea. This helps commercial-industrial end-users and policy makers to …

How did the Human Brain Evolve? Tracking Cerebral Changes in the Fossil Hominin Record Using Advanced Imaging Techniques and 3D Modelling
… significance. By bridging the disciplines of palaeontology, neuroanatomy, and digital imaging, this research enhances our ability to reconstruct hominin brain evolution with greater anatomical precision. The integration of high-resolution imaging with automated detection protocols provides a …

Evolutionary Ecology of the First Animal Ecosystems
The late Ediacaran (~574 – 564 Ma) strata of Newfoundland, Canada preserve entire early animal communities in situ under volcanic ash. These communities lie at a key juncture between the preceding microbe-dominated world of the Proterozoic, and the subsequent animal-dominated world that we inhabit …

Palaeobiology and flight capacity of volant palaeognaths (Pan-Palaeognathae: Lithornithidae): implications for the common ancestor of extant palaeognaths and early crown birds
Extant palaeognathous bird diversity comprises the flightless ratites (ostriches, rhea, kiwi, cassowaries, and emu), as well as the partridge-like tinamous that fly powerfully over short distances. As the sister clade of all other crown birds (Neognathae), insight into the biology of early …
