Pathologies in the Early Pliocene phocid seals from Langebaanweg, South Africa : research letter
TL;DR: The majority of the ailments were forms of osteoarthritis, although periodontitis and osteomyelitis were also evident, and some bones also showed healed fractures, suggesting that the individuals survived the traumatic event.
Journal ArticleDOI
The carnivorans from Cava Monticino (Faenza, Italy; Messinian) revisited
TL;DR: The earliest known record of a true member of the genus Felis in Western Europe is reported in the late Miocene of Cava Monticino as discussed by the authors , where five different taxa were recovered: one felid, two hyaenids, one canid and one mustelid.

Taxonomic and palaeobiological implications of a large, pathological sabretooth (Carnivora, Felidae, Machairodontinae) from the Lower Pliocene of South Africa
TL;DR: In this paper , the most complete postcranial remains of a pathological, large-bodied sabretooth from the Lower Pliocene site of Langebaanweg ‘E’ Quarry (South Africa) were described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Osteohistology and palaeobiology of giraffids from the Mio‐Pliocene Langebaanweg (South Africa)
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors studied 20 long bones (metapodials, tibia and femora) of Sivatherium hendeyi and Giraffa cf. jumae recovered from the Miocene-Pliocene locality of Langebaanweg on the West Coast of South Africa.

TL;DR: It is found that these enigmatic canids are highly admixed varieties derived from gray wolves and coyotes, respectively, and divergent genomic history suggests that they do not have a shared recent ancestry as proposed by previous researchers.
Journal ArticleDOI
A proposal for a standard terminology of anatomical notation and orientation in fossil vertebrate dentitions
Joshua B. Smith,Peter Dodson +1 more
TL;DR: There is little consistency in the notation and orientation terminology used in discussions of non-mammalian fossil vertebrate dentitions, so the use of the terms mesial and distal to designate tooth surfaces and directions facing toward and away from the mandibular symphysis is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
The thoracic morphology of Archostemata and the relationships of the extant suborders of Coleoptera (Hexapoda)
TL;DR: Important evolutionary changes linked with this branching event are simplifications of the thoracic skeleton resulting in reduced degrees of freedom, and a distinct simplification of the muscle system, which culminates in Polyphaga, which are strongly supported as a clade.
