To date, it has generally been believed that antiarch placoderms (extinct armoured jawed fishes from the Silurian–Devonian periods) lacked pelvic fin... First-Known Ginglymodian Fish Found from the Middle Triassic of Eastern Yunnan Province, China The Ginglymodi are a group of ray-finned fishes that make up one of three major subdivisions of the infraclass Neopterygii. Extant ginglymodians are represented by gars, which inhabit freshwater environments of North and Central America and Cuba. Drs. XU Guanghui and WU Feixiang, Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology... Mammalian Fossil First-ever Found in the Cenozoic Deposits of the Lunpola Basin, Northern Tibet Dr. DENG Tao, Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology (IVPP), Chinese Academy of Sciences, and his research team, found a rhinocerotid fossil in the upper part of the Dingqing Formation at the Lunbori locality in Baingoin County during an extensive and detailed investigation of the stratigraphy an... New Ctenochasmatid Pterosaur Found from the Lower Cretaceous of China Drs. JIANG Shunxing and WANG Xiaolin from Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology (IVPP), Chinese Academy of Sciences, described a new ctenochasmatid pterosaur, Pterofiltus qiui gen. et sp. nov., from the Lower Cretaceous deposits of Liaoning, China, as reported in Annals of the Brazilian Academy ... Microraptor Feeding  New finds from the Jehol Group in northeastern China continue to reveal snapshots of this Early Cretaceous ecosystem through the incredible preservation of soft tissue, stomach contents, and inter- and intraspecific interactions, helping to bring the ancient forest and lakes back to life. The new discovery, a speci... New Evidence of Interpersonal Violence from 129,000 Years Ago Found in China The identification of traumatic lesions in human fossils is of special interest because of the underlying behaviors that are involved: accidental or intentional wounding, potential interpersonal violence, and also the social support needed for the care and recovery of impaired individuals. Aside from the Neandertals... New Triassic Diapsid Reptile Found in Southwestern China Paleontologist LI Chun, Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology (IVPP), Chinese Academy of Sciences, and his research team, reported a new genus and species of marine reptile, Sinosaurosphargis yunguiensis, from the Middle Triassic of Yunnan and Guizhou Provinces, southwestern China, according to ... Carbon Isotope Reveals a Solely C3 Biomass Diet for Gigantopithecus in the Early Pleistocene of South China 　　Fig.1: The mandibles of Gigantopithecus blacki from Juyuandong Cave of Liucheng, Guangxi Province, China. 　　The extinct giant ape, Gigantopithecus blacki, is a species of large hominoids that dominated the Pleistocene of South China. Its massive mandible, large postcanine teeth and extremely thick enamel alwa... Earliest Democricetodon (Cricetid Rodent) Found in the Early Miocene of the Junggar Basin, China According to a paper published in the latest issue of Vertebrata PalAsiatic 2011(4), palontologists from Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, have identified two cricetid rodents (Democricetodon sui sp. nov. and Democricetodon? sp.) in the Early Miocene of the Jung... New Material of Early Cretaceous Ornithurine Bird Gansus Supporting It’s a Volant and Diving Bird LI Yan, associate curator of Gansu Museum, collected 9 specimens of Gansus for further study during his fieldwork from 2002 to 2004. He and his collaborators from Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology, Key Laboratory of Evolutionary Systematics of Vertebrates, Chinese Academy of Sciences, descri...   32 Page(s)   FirstPrev2122232425NextFinal
