Spring 2018
Cretaceous birds of Alberta are poorly understood, as skeletal elements are rare and typically consist of fragmentary postcranial remains. A partial avian coracoid from the upper Campanian Dinosaur Park Formation of Alberta, Canada can be referred to the Ornithurae, and is referred to here as...

SSHRC Awarded IG 2017: A landscape archaeological approach to studying early human occupation of the Iringa Region, Tanzania. Previous research in Iringa has revealed occupations from the critical period for the evolution of our species. This project's goal is to explain the data from the site...

Analyzing taphonomic deformation of ankylosaur skulls using retrodeformation and finite element analysis
Download2012
Taphonomic deformation can make the interpretation of vertebrate fossil morphology difficult. The effects of taphonomic deformation are investigated in two ankylosaurid dinosaur taxa, Euoplocephalus tutus (to investigate effects on our understanding of intraspecific variation) and Minotaurasaurus...

Stockey, R.A., Rothwell, G.W., Hernandez-Castillo, G.R., Mapes, G.
A new species of extinct conifer plants, Emporia royalii sp. nov. Hernandez-Castillo, Stockey, Mapes et Rothwell (Emporiaceae: Voltziales), is described from the rich fossil biota of the Late Pennsylvanian, Hamilton Quarry, Kansas. This conifer has lateral plagiotropic branches with simple and...

Phylogenetic diversification of Equisetum (Equisetales) as inferred from Lower Cretaceous species of British Columbia
Download2009
Stockey, Ruth A., Stanich, Nicholas A., Rothwell, Gar W.
Three types of anatomically preserved vegetative shoots with features that characterize crown group Equisetum have been discovered in Lower Cretaceous deposits ( ≈ 136 Ma) of British Columbia, Canada, suggesting the genus is much older than currently believed. Specimens include two types of...

Combining Characters of Pteridaceae and Tree Ferns: Pterisorus Radiata gen. et sp. nov., A Permineralized Lower Cretaceous Filicalean with Radial Sori
Download2006
Stockey, R. A, Rothwell, G. W.
An anatomically preserved leptosporangiate filicalean that combines characters of the Pteridaceae and tree ferns has been discovered in the Lower Cretaceous (Valanginian-Hauterivian boundary) Apple Bay flora on Vancouver Island, Canada. Exindusiate sori are radial, with numerous annulate...

Little, S. A., Stockey, R. A., Rothwell, G. W.
The discovery of two anatomically preserved rhizomes with attached stipe bases and adventitious roots contributes to our knowledge of filicalean fern diversity and evolution. Specimens are preserved in marine carbonate nodules at the Lower Cretaceous (Valanginian to Hauterivian) Apple Bay...

Evidence for sympodial vascular architecture in a filicalean fern rhizome: Dickwhitea allenbyensis gen. et sp. nov. (Athyriaceae).
Download2006
Rothwell, G.W., Stockey, R.A., Nishida, H., Karafit, S.J.
A new genus and species of anatomically preserved fossil filicalean ferns Dickwhitea allenbyensis gen. et sp. nov. is described from the Middle Eocene Princeton Chert of southern British Columbia, Canada. Rhizomes have a parenchymatous pith surrounded by a ring of five amphiphloic cauline bundles...
