Beautifully preserved, nearly complete theropod skeletons from Alberta (Canada) allow re-evaluation of the taxonomic status of North American tyrannosaurids. It is concluded that the most parsimonious interpretation of relationships leads to the separation of the two species of Albertosaurus...

A new species of Pityostrobus from the Lower Cretaceous of California and its bearing on the evolution of Pinaceae.
Download2001
A single cylindrical, abraded cone specimen has been found associated with ammonites of the Lower Cretaceous Budden Canyon Formation near Ono, California. The specimen was embedded in bioplastic and sectioned using the cellulose acetate peel technique. The pith is composed of parenchyma and...

Anatomically preserved Cycadeoidea (Cycadeoidaceae), with a reevaluation of systematic characters for the seed cones of Bennettitales
Download2002
Four anatomically preserved ovulate cycadeoid cones have been recovered from three localities in Upper Cretaceous (Turonian/ Coniacian-Late Campanian) sediments of Vancouver and Hornby Islands, British Columbia, Canada. All of the specimens are preserved by calcareous cellular permineralization...

Stockey, R.A., Johnson, K., Rothwell, G.W.
The fossil record of aquatic flowering plants broadens our understanding of their former diversity and origins from terrestrial ancestors. This paper describes a floating aquatic monocot from 71 whole plants and several isolated leaf fragments from Upper Cretaceous oxbow lake sediments in the...

Little, S. A., Rothwell, G. W., Stockey, R. A.
Anatomically preserved foliage of a dipteridaceous fern has been identified in both calcareous nodules and fine-grained, carbonate-cemented sandstone from the early Cretaceous (Hauterivian-Barremian) Apple Bay locality from Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. Fronds with attached...

A small permineralized osmundaceous stem has been collected from marine sediments of the Early Cretaceous (Aptian), Upper Chickabally Member of the Budden Canyon Formation near Ono, California. The specimen, 8.5 cm long and 5.4 cm wide, represents a stem surrounded by a mantle of stipular leaf...

Morphometry of the teeth of western North American tyrannosaurids and its applicability to quantitative classification
Download2005
Samman, T., Hills, L. V., Powell, G. L., Currie, P. J.
Gross tooth morphology and serration morphology were examined to determine a quantifiable method for classifying tyrannosaurid tooth crowns from western North America From the examination of teeth in jaws, tyrannosaurid teeth could be qualitatively assigned to one of five types based on the...

Vavrek, M.J., Stockey, R.A., Rothwell, G.W.
The Lower Cretaceous (Valanginian to Hauterivian) Apple Bay locality onVancouver Island, British Columbia, has yielded several fragments of fertile permineralized osmundaceous pinnae. Specimens are preserved in calcareous concretions, showing both internal anatomy and allowing for the...

Todea from the Lower Cretaceous of western North America: implications for the phylogeny, systematics, and evolution of modern Osmundaceae
Download2008
Stockey, R.A., Rothwell, G.W., Jud, N.A.
The first fossil evidence for the fern genus Todea has been recovered from the Lower Cretaceous of British Columbia, Canada, providing paleontological data to strengthen hypotheses regarding patterns of evolution and phylogeny within Osmundaceae. The fossil consists of a branching rhizome,...

Vickaryous, M. K., Currie, P. J., Koppelhus, E. V., Sissons, R., Badamgarav, D.
Structure of the manus and pes has long been a source of confusion in ankylosaurs, owing to the imperfect preservation or complete lack of these parts of the skeletons in most specimens, and the fact that many species appear to have undergone a reduction in numbers of digits and phalanges. New...
