The Lower Devonian of the Holy Cross Mountains is well-known in the field of vertebrate palaeontology but remains unrecognized as regards palaeoenvironmental reconstructions. We therefore analysed the spatial distribution and relative abundance of fossil vertebrates in this area within one time interval. The fauna from an Early Devonian (Emsian) si...

... though in all the sec tions stud ied all ver te brate groups are pres ent (ex cept chondrichthyans, which are gen er ally very rarely found and are rep re sented only by small, barely iden ti fiable pieces of fin spine), a clear dif fer en ti a tion of the rel a tive abun dances can be ob served (Ta ble 2; di a grams in Fig. 2). The £ysogóry sec tions are char ac ter ized by a smaller amount of shal low wa ter (Szrek and Dupret, 2017) placoderms (14% on av er age) and osteichthyans (~8%), but a higher con tent of open ma rine ac an tho dians (~33%) in com par i son to the Kielce re gion (25, 30 and 22%, re spec tively).

Yanlidong is a cave site in southern China where a diversity of vertebrate palaeontological fossils were recently discovered. Our previous study showed that the Yanlidong sediments can be divided into an early stage and a late stage. Here, we report our analysis of the mammal fossils from the deposits of the Early Stage in Yanlidong (DES-YLD). The...

Acanthodes has long been the primary source of information on the pharyngeal skeleton of 'acanthodians', a stem-group chondrichthyan grade. Because of this its anatomy has played an outsized role in attempts to understand the evolution of the jawed vertebrate pharynx and the clade as a whole. However, the anatomy of the pharynx of Acanthodes remain...
