Application of Ichnology Towards a Geological Understanding of the Ferron Sandstone in Central Utah
DownloadFall 2015
Ichnology has long been used as a tool to aid in environmental interpretation, but has rarely been used as an ethological assessment tool in the Cretaceous Ferron Sandstone of central Utah. This study focuses on using trace fossils with detailed sedimentological analyses to describe continental,...

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,...

Abstract: The Lesueur landslide occurred on 3 September 1963 on the outside of a meander of the North Saskatchewan River in northeast Edmonton. The displaced volume was 0.76 Mm(3) of Pleistocene deposits and underlying Upper Cretaceous mudstones. The trigger of the landslide is believed to be...

Three species of Cretaceous marine squamates are described or redescribed. The first, Pontosaurus ribaguster is described from a relatively complete specimen discovered on Hvar Island, Croatia. Preservation of identifiable nektonic teleosts within the gastric cavity (the first identifiable...

The Ankylosauria is a group of herbivorous, quadrupedal, armoured dinosaurs subdivided into at least two major clades, the Ankylosauridae and the Nodosauridae. The most derived members of the Ankylosauridae had a unique tail club formed from modified, tightly interlocking distal caudal vertebrae...

Systematics and palaeobiology of the crested hadrosaurine Saurolophus from Canada and Mongolia
DownloadFall 2011
Reappraisal of Saurolophus confirms Saurolophus osborni and Saurolophus angustirostris as distinct species. Synapomorphies of Saurolophus include a spike-like pseudonarial crest formed by the nasals, frontals, and prefrontals; tripartite frontals with anteroventral and posterodorsal extensions...

Relationships among Fossil and Living Dipteridaceae: Anatomically Preserved Hausmannia from the Lower Cretaceous of Vancouver Island.
Download2006
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...

Preservation of Tissue Structures in Late Cretaceous Vertebrate Remains from Alberta, Canada
DownloadFall 2020
Here I investigate the rates of preserved original organic tissue and their quality within vertebrate bones that were preserved during the late Cretaceous of Alberta. Specimens recovered from the Dinosaur Park Formation provide a baseline for comparison to four other Alberta Formations (Brazeau,...

Mosasaurs were a successful and diverse group of marine lizard that existed during the Cretaceous Period, spanning a period of geologic time from the Turonian to Maastrichtian. Their fossils are found around the world, although most records are known from the Northern Hemisphere. The Southern...

Two abraded, cylindrical cone specimens found in calcareous concretions from the Cretaceous Spray Formation (Late Campanian) of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, were sectioned using the cellulose acetate peel technique and characterized anatomically. Their sclerenchymatous pith is surrounded...
