TL;DR: Twitchett et al. as discussed by the authors showed that the Holothuroidea are unique amongst the echinoderms in showing no family level extinction through the Permian-Triassic interval, possibly due to their deposit-feeding lifestyle.

TL;DR: Grauvogel-Stamm et al. as mentioned in this paper studied the recovery of the Triassic land flora after the end-Permian biotic crisis in detail except in North China where examination of a complete sequence of Permian-Triassic strata containing fossil plants revealed that the recovery lasted until the end of the Middle Triassic.

TL;DR: Corsetti et al. as mentioned in this paper showed a stepwise decline in δ13C values before the latest Permian extinction event followed by highly variable values during the remaining Early Triassic.

TL;DR: Puy-Puy et al. as discussed by the authors presente les contextes sedimentaires et paleoenvironnementaux des series albo-cenomaniennes de Puy Puy et des Renardieres and illustre les taxons de vertebres and de plantes les plus remarquables decouverts a ce jour.

TL;DR: Groves et al. as discussed by the authors studied the evolution of fusulinoidean fusulinides during the end-Permian mass extinction and found that only two non-fusulinidean genera persisted into the Early Triassic.

TL;DR: In this paper, Nutzel et al. transferred Zygopleura rugosa Batten and Stokes to the genus Ampezzopleura and its diagnostic larval shell was reported for the first time.

TL;DR: Gall and Grauvogel-Stamm as discussed by the authors described a model of the type of environment that may have acted as a refugium for terrestrial communities during the end-Permian mass extinction and its Triassic aftermath.

TL;DR: In this paper, Fraiser et al. present a synthesis of paleoecological data demonstrating that the end-Permian mass extinction and the Early Triassic aftermath were ecologically, as well as taxonomically, significant events in the history of life.

TL;DR: Fritz et al. as discussed by the authors identified a characteristic Early Triassic biofacies characterized by the lack of larger gastropods and abundant, conspicuous microgastropod-dominated shell beds and its distribution indicates that the recovery from the end-Permian mass extinction was regionally variable and began sooner than previously interpreted.

TL;DR: Woods et al. as discussed by the authors found that the early Triassic oceans were likely anoxic and possibly alkaline while climate during the period was dominated by the expansion of deserts and the migration of warm, moist conditions to high Southern Hemisphere latitudes.

TL;DR: Charriere et al. as mentioned in this paper, for instance, have shown that a sedimentation continentale d'âge Jurassique superieur (Oxfordien?-Kimmeridgien) dans le Haut Atlas central marocain can be inferred.

TL;DR: The transition from Permian to Triassic time, amidst the largest extinction in the history of life, is characterized by the loss of metazoan reefs followed by a protracted and total reorganization of reef ecosystems as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: Vullo et al. as discussed by the authors present a gisement of a type of vertebrae in the Cenomanien inferieur of Fouras (site de Fouras-Vauban, Charente-Maritime, Sud-Ouest de la France), where tetrapodes are represented by cheloniens, crocodiliens, ophidiens, plesiosaures, pterosaures and dinosaures.

TL;DR: Dejax et al. as mentioned in this paper present an association palynologique bien conservee, riche et diversifiee, d'origine mixte, continentale and marine, which permet d'en dresser l'inventaire, puis de proposer une reconstitution du paleoenvironnement and deduire le paleoclimat.

TL;DR: L’ambre cenomanien d’Ecommoy est un ambre de litiere, forme en milieu terrestre-dulcicole (ou occasionnellement saumâtre), dans un marais en arriere du littoral, dans des ambres de gisements paraliques de l’Albien terminal de Charente-Maritime.

TL;DR: Ambert et al. as discussed by the authors used stratigraphique, paleontologique, and chronologique des remplissages to situate le passage des paleolithiques entre le depot de deux planchers stalagmitiques dates of 37,000 and 24,400 BP.

TL;DR: Godefroit et al. as mentioned in this paper discovered the right dentary of a new hadrosauroid dinosaur, Penelopognathus weishampeli, in the Bayan Gobi Formation (Albian, Lower Cretaceous) of Inner Mongolia.

TL;DR: Parker et al. as mentioned in this paper showed that the lateral armor of Desmatosuchus smalli represents a species distinct from the type species Desmatosaurs haplocerus.

TL;DR: Peyrot et al. as mentioned in this paper concerne le contenu palynologique of six sites prealablement etudies sur le plan sedimentologique et macropaleontologique and ayant deja livre d'importants gisements d'ambre fossilifere.

TL;DR: The specimen here described constitutes the oldest undoubted lizard record from Argentina and contributes to support the presence of iguanids in South America since 'Mid'-Cretaceous times at least.

TL;DR: Peigne et al. as discussed by the authors described Machairodus kabir n. sp., which is the largest mammalian predator from the Toros-Menalla fossiliferous area, with an estimated body mass reaching 350-490 kg.

TL;DR: Mahammed et al. as discussed by the authors reported the discovery of a skeleton, including cranial material, of a new cetiosaurid sauropod in the Middle Jurassic of the Occidental Saharan Atlas (Algerian High Atlas).

TL;DR: Adaptations xeromorphes chez des Gymnospermes du Mesozoique as mentioned in this paper are discussed in detail in a revue avec des implications paleoclimatiques.

TL;DR: Combining taxonomic, morphological, and spatial data refined interpretations of Triassic ammonoids recovery patterns and indicated that ecological, not intrinsic, factors were the probable control on ammonoid recovery rates.

TL;DR: The radiation of the Diptera and the diversification of the Coleoptera in the Triassic also support the hypothesis of an important renewal of the entomofauna at the Permian/Triassic boundary.

TL;DR: Mannai-Tayech et al. as mentioned in this paper describe a fouille systematique dans les sables continentaux miocenes de la Formation Beglia (Sud-Ouest tunisien) a permis la decouverte d'un gisement riche en poissons fossiles, au sud de la chaine des Chotts.

TL;DR: Forestier et al. as mentioned in this paper found the first record of Hoabinhian cave occupation in Indonesia, in the Togi Ndrawa cave in the island of Nias (North Sumatra).

TL;DR: Apesteguia et al. as discussed by the authors identified a new species of sphenodontid possibly related to opisthodontians or primitive, toothed sapheosaurs.
