A large osteoderm-bearing rib from the Upper Triassic Kossen Formation (Norian/Rhaetian) of eastern Switzerland

Torsten M. Scheyer et al.

Summary: Researchers have discovered an incomplete rib specimen in the Alpine region, which is believed to belong to the small clade of marine reptiles known as the Saurosphargidae. Previously, this clade was only known to exist during the Anisian stage of the Middle Triassic, but this new find extends their occurrence by approximately 35 million years into the Late Triassic.

A long-tailed marine reptile from China provides new insights into the Middle Triassic pachypleurosaur radiation

Guang-Hui Xu et al.

Summary: In this study, a new pachypleurosaurid species, Honghesaurus longicaudalis, from Yunnan, China is reported. This discovery fills the morphological gap in pachypleurosaurs and provides new evidence and insights into this group. The study also reveals the role of the Tethys Ocean in the dispersal of pachypleurosaurs from Europe to South China.

Ancestral body plan and adaptive radiation of sauropterygian marine reptiles

Wei Wang et al.

Summary: This study reports the earliest complete specimen related to sauropterygians, called Hanosaurus hupehensis. It shows a mosaic morphology integrating the features of multiple sauropterygian sub-lineages and is resolved as the basal-most member of Sauropterygiformes. This finding reveals an unexpected ancestral body plan for sauropterygiforms and confirms the rapid divergence of sauropterygiform reptiles following the end-Permian mass extinction.

A globally distributed durophagous marine reptile clade supports the rapid recovery of pelagic ecosystems after the Permo-Triassic mass extinction

Yu Qiao et al.

Summary: This study reports a large marine reptile fossil from the Early Triassic of China, which demonstrates its affinity with the Omphalosauridae and reveals the unique feeding apparatus of these reptiles. The findings provide further evidence for an explosive radiation of marine reptiles in the Early Triassic and the rapid recovery of pelagic ecosystems after the Permo-Triassic mass extinction.

The oldest record of Saurosphargiformes (Diapsida) from South China could fill an ecological gap in the Early Triassic biotic recovery

Long Cheng et al.

Summary: The discovery of Pomolispondylus biani in the Early Triassic Nanzhang-Yuan'an Fauna extends the known range of Saurosphargiformes and increases taxic and ecological diversity. Despite its small size and occupying a different ecological niche compared to previously found species, the overall food web structure of this fauna is notably different from Middle Triassic and later ecosystems, suggesting it represents a transitional stage during recovery.

The redescription of the holotype of Nothosaurus mirabilis (Diapsida, Eosauropterygia)-a historical skeleton from the Muschelkalk (Middle Triassic, Anisian) near Bayreuth (southern Germany)

Nicole Klein et al.

Summary: This article describes the discovery and reconstruction of the holotype of Nothosaurus mirabilis, providing detailed information on its morphology. It also provides an overview of the sedimentary environment and historical activities in the Upper Muschelkalk quarries near Bayreuth. The findings greatly enhance our understanding of the species and genus, allowing for classification of isolated elements.

Successive climate crises in the deep past drove the early evolution and radiation of reptiles

Tiago R. Simoes et al.

Summary: Climate change has had a significant impact on the evolution of reptiles, not only through ecological opportunities following extinction events but also through multiple adaptive responses spanning millions of years.

Early giant reveals faster evolution of large body size in ichthyosaurs than in cetaceans

P. Martin Sander et al.

Summary: The body sizes of marine amniotes vary greatly and the factors driving this diversity are still largely unknown. This study found that, despite the absence of modern primary producers, the Middle Triassic marine food webs were able to support several large-bodied ichthyosaurs, showcasing rapid size evolution.

Ecophysiological steps of marine adaptation in extant and extinct non-avian tetrapods

Ryosuke Motani et al.

Summary: The study reveals that marine tetrapods can be divided into aquatic and haline adaptations, with a common sequence of five marine adaptation steps found across all clades except snakes. Clades reaching higher adaptation steps tend to have higher species diversity, while those at earlier steps have a higher total number of clades. Marine colonizers diversified greatly after minimizing terrestrial resource use, with historical patterns suggesting that clades only advance to higher adaptation steps early in their evolution.

Wen-Bin Lin et al.

Summary: This study reexamines the classification morphology of Panzhousaurus based on a new specimen from China, refining diagnostic features and showing its phylogenetic relationship with other groups. Additionally, the research confirms the monophyly of Eusauropterygia and Pachypleurosauridae as traditionally believed.

A Triassic stem lepidosaur illuminates the origin of lizard-like reptiles

Ricardo N. Martinez et al.

Summary: The study reports the discovery of a new species of reptile, Taytalura, from the Late Triassic epoch of Argentina, which is strongly inferred to be the earliest evolving lepidosauromorph. The research findings suggest that the skull structure of sphenodontians represents the ancestral condition for all lepidosaurs, and that early lepidosauromorphs had a much broader geographical distribution than previously thought.
