Pollen and spore assemblages from the Falla Formation (Upper Triassic), Central Transantarctic Mountains, Antarctica
TLDR
Palynofloral assemblages consisting of forty-four pollen and spore species assignable to thirty-six form genera were recovered from shales and coals of the lower part of the Falla Formation (Upper Triassic) from Mount Falla in the Central Transantarctic Mountains, Antarctica.About:

Osteology of Cryolophosaurus ellioti (Dinosauria: Theropoda) from the Early Jurassic of Antarctica and implications for early theropod evolution
TL;DR: An in-depth morphological description of Cryolophosaurus is pre-sented here, along with a rigorous phylogenetic analysis of theropod relationships consisting of 347 characters and 56 taxa, in an attempt to clarify the relationships of Crylophosaurus and to provide insight into questions sur-rounding early theropid evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Correlation of permian and triassic palynomorph assemblages from the central Transantarctic Mountains, Antarctica
TL;DR: In this article, the Buckley assemblages are interpreted as Late Permian (Australian Stage 5) and Silicified peat from the Fremouw Formation (Early Middle Triassic) yielded an assemblage indicating a possible Anisian age (Middle Triassic).

Nathan D. Smith,Diego Pol +1 more
TL;DR: The anatomy of a basal sauropodomorph (Dinosauria: Saurischia) from the Early Jurassic Hanson Formation of Antarctica is described in detail and preliminary phylogenetic analyses suggest a close relationship between the new Antarctic taxon and Lufengosaurus.

The Vegetation of Antarctica through Geological Time
David J. Cantrill,Imogen Poole +1 more
TL;DR: The fossil history of plant life in Antarctica is central to our understanding of the evolution of vegetation through geological time and also plays a key role in reconstructing past configurations of the continents and associated climatic conditions as mentioned in this paper.

Late Permian palynomorphs from the Buckley Formation, central Transantarctic Mountains, Antarctica
TL;DR: Palynoassemblages of variable diversity, thermal maturity and preservation were also recovered from other Buckley outcrops at Mount Picciotto, Mount Sirius and Coalsack Bluff as mentioned in this paper.

Phanerozoic Paleocontinental World Maps
TL;DR: In this paper, Mesozoic and Cenozoic composite maps were constructed using the permo-triassic problem and the reliability of the maps was evaluated using the maps.
