Kinematic reconstruction of the Alpine Tethys and surrounding Mesozoic rifted margins
In plate kinematic reconstructions, the restoration of rifted margins and their fossil equivalents exposed in orogens remains challenging. Tight fit...

Mesozoic evolution of cicadas and their origins of vocalization and root feeding
Extant cicada (Hemiptera: Cicadoidea) includes widely distributed Cicadidae and relictual Tettigarctidae, with fossils ascribed to these two groups...

Long-term cycles of the Solar System concealed in the Mesozoic sedimentary basin record
Mounting evidence indicates that the orbital period of the solar system’s movement through the Milky Way has had a controlling effect on processes of...

Episodic sandstone-type uranium mineralization in Asia during the Late Mesozoic-Cenozoic
Sandstone-type uranium deposits (STUDs) are the most important global source of uranium. However, it is unclear why STUDs have a non-random...

A new Mesozoic scorpion from the Besano Formation (Middle Triassic, Monte San Giorgio UNESCO WHL), Italy
The first Mesozoic scorpion from Italy, Protobuthus ziliolii sp. nov., is here described and named thanks to a single specimen. This new species...
