In a paper published in the journal of Acta Palaeontologica Po... Scientists Reveal the Braincase Anatomy of the Late Cretaceous Tyrannosaurid Alioramus The late Cretaceous tyrannosaurid Alioramus altai is known from a single specimen whose articulated braincase exhibits a nearly unique combination of preservational quality, subadult stage of growth, and morphological complexity. An international team, including Dr. XU Xing, Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and ... Study Shows Microblades Connected With Mobile Adaptations in North-Central China Though present before the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM, around 24,500–18,300 years ago), microblade technology is uncommon in the lithic assemblages of north-central China until the onset of the Younger Dryas (YD, around 12,900–11,600 years ago). Dr. GAO Xing, Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropolog... Oldest Known Fossil Primate Skeleton Found From the Eocene of Hubei, China An international team of researchers has announced the discovery of the world’s oldest known fossil primate skeleton representing a previously unknown genus and species named Archicebus achilles. The fossil was unearthed from an ancient lake bed in central China’s Hubei Province, near the course of the modern Yang... A New Parafaveoloolithid Dino Egg Found From the Pingxiang Basin, Jiangxi Province of China Dinosaur egg clutches, single eggs, and countless eggshell fragments have been found in the the Upper Cretaceous of the Pingxiang Basin, Jiangxi Province of China since 2002. In an article published in the latest issue of Vertebrata PalAsiatica 51(2), Dr. WANG Xiaolin, Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoa... Two Miocene Hipparion Species Identified From Shihuiba Locality of Lufeng, Yunnan, China The Shihuiba locality (Lufengpithecus site) at Lufeng, Yunnan is one of the most important Miocene mammal fauna sites in China. The Hipparion (three-toed horse) fossils collected from this locality from 1975 to 1983 were identified as Hipparion sp. 1 and Hipparion sp. 2. Recently, SUN Boyang, a graduate student pale... Stone Artifacts Unearthed from the Early Paleolithic Site of Danjiangkou Reservoir Area, China Danjiangkou reservoir is located in the northwest of Hubei Province and southwest of Henan Province at the headwaters area of the Middle Route of the South-to-North Water Transfer Project. In 1994 and 2004, Scientists from the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology (IVPP), Chinese Academy of Scie... Incisors of Primitive Rhino Found From the Early Miocene of Linxia Basin in Gansu, China Aprotodon is a large-sized primitive rhinocerotid form, distinguished by relatively robust and strongly curved lower incisors, and the specialized wide mandibular symphysis, which is similar to that of the hippopotamus. It has been reported from the Late Oligocene Jiaozigou Fauna of the Linxia Basin, but the Early M... A New Oviraptorid Dinosaur Found from the Upper Cretaceous of Nei Mongol, China Dr. XU Xing, Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology (IVPP), Chinese Academy of Sciences, and his team recently carried out several expeditions to Bayan Mandahu, Linhe, Nei Mongol, China, and have unearthed multiple dinosaur, mammal, and lizard specimens. In a paper published in the journal of Ver... Systematic Position of Archaeopteryx Challenged? Archaeopteryx has been considered the most primitive and earliest known bird ever since its discovery, and has been placed at the base of Avialae in nearly all numerical phylogenetic analyses. In 2011, a parsimony-based phylogenetic study incorporating information of a new Archaeopteryx-like theropod, Xiaotingia zhe...   32 Page(s)   FirstPrev1617181920NextFinal
