Jeholosaurus shangyuanensis is a small ornithischian dinosaur from the Lower Cretaceous Yixian Formation of the Lujiatun ... Engraved Stone Artifact Found at the Shuidonggou Paleolithic Site, Northwest China Engraved objects are usually seen as a hallmark of cognition and symbolism, which are viewed as important features of modern human behavior. In recent years, engraved ochre, bones and ostrich eggs unearthed from various Paleolithic sites in Africa, the Near East and Europe have attracted great attentions. However, s... New Species of Trilophodont Gomphotheres Found From the Quaternary of China According to an article published online December 2012 in the journal of Chinese Science Bulletin (Vol.57,No.36), Dr. JIN Changzhu, Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology (IVPP), Chinese Academy of Sciences, and his team described a new species of trilophodont gomphotheres, Sinomastodon jiangnane... Juvenile Chalicothere Found From the Pliocene of Linxia Basin, Northwestern China Fossils of Chalicotheres are generally rare, and only a few poorly preserved specimens have previously been discovered in China. Dr. DENG Tao, Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology (IVPP), Chinese Academy of Sciences, and his team reported a juvenile skull of a chalicothere with its articulated ... Hominins Already Inhabited the Three Gorges Region of South China in Pleistocene Systematic archaeological survey and excavations in the Three Gorges region, South China over the past two decades has led to the discovery of a number of important hominin fossils and Paleolithic stone artifact assemblages. Dr. PEI Shuwen, Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology (IVPP), Chinese A... Fossil Evidence Supports Developmental Model for the Origin of the Jaw The invention of the jaw is the most profound and radical evolutionary step in the vertebrate history. However, the sequence leading to the evolutionary origin of the jaw is still unclear largely due to the absence of data on the ancestral, intermediate condition. 　　In an article published in Chinese Science Bulle... Geometric Morphometric Analyses Reveal Variations in Orbit Shape Of Asian, African, and European Human Populations In a study published online 9 November 2012 in the journal of Anthropological Science, scientists from Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology (IVPP), Chinese Academy of Sciences, and University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa, used a newly developed standardized mirroring-based geometric morph... New Materials of Fossil Wolf Found From the Lower Pleistocene Site of Nihewan Basin, Hebei Remains of fossil canids are not rare in China, but they have not been systematically studied. Previous studies based on dental characters caused considerable confusion on taxonomic classification. In a paper published in the latest issue of Vertebrata PalAsiatica 2012(4), paleontologists from Institute of Vertebrat... Earliest Known Finned Tetrapod Found From the Lower Devonian of China An international team led by Dr. ZHU Min, Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology (IVPP), Chinese Academy of Sciences, described a new finned primitive tetrapod, Tungsenia paradoxa gen. et sp. nov., from the Lower Devonian (Pragian, about 409 million years ago) of Yunnan, China, which extends the ... New Species of Sinamia Found From Western Liaoning, China According to a paper published in the latest issue of Vertebrata PalAsiatica 2012(4), Dr. ZHANG Jiangyong, Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology (IVPP), Chinese Academy of Sciences, described a new species of sinamiid fish, Sinamia liaoningensis, from the Barremian-Aptian Yixian and Jiufotang fo...   32 Page(s)   FirstPrev1617181920NextFinal
