Hwiccewyrm trispiculum gen. et sp. nov., a new leptopleuronine procolophonid from the Late Triassic of southwest England
The fissure fill localities of southwest England and South Wales are well‐known for preserving rich assemblages of predominantly small‐bodied Late Triassic to Early Jurassic tetrapods, but many aspects of these assemblages remain contentious. The age of the Late Triassic fissures is disputed, with some lines of argument suggesting a latest...Butler, Richard J ; Meade, Luke E ; Cleary, Terri J ; McWhirter, Kai T ; Brown, Emily E …

New evidence for laurasian corystosperms: Umkomasia from the Upper Triassic of Northern China
Recent finds of remarkable fossil plants from the Upper Triassic Yangcaogou Formation in Liaoning Province, PR China include branched, cupule-bearing structures referable to the corystosperm ovulate organ Umkomasia. This material is described and assigned to the proposed new species Umkomasia asiatica. The collection includes numerous isolated cupules and fragments of...Shuqin, Zan ; Axsmith, Brian J ; Fraser, Nicholas C ; Fengxiang, Liu ; Dehe, Xing

A new Neocalamites (Sphenophyta) with prickles and attached cones from the Upper Triassic of China.
Remains of the extinct sphenophyte (horsetail) Neocalamites are most widespread in the Middle–Upper Triassic and are typically represented by stem and leaf fragments. Here we report on spectacular new finds of Neocalamites from the Late Triassic Yangcaogou Formation in Liaoning Province, China that include bedding surfaces dominated by nearly complete...Zan, Shuqin ; Axsmith, Brian J ; Escapa, Ignacio ; Fraser, Nicholas C ; Fengxiang, Liu …

A Triassic seed with an angiosperm-like wind dispersal mechanism
The earliest record of a seed with a pappus-like, parachute seed dispersal mechanism, Edenia villisperma gen. et sp. nov., is described from the Upper Triassic of the eastern United States. The seed is small and roughly triangular. Clusters of long hairs emerge from a whorl of at least five circular...Axsmith, Brian J ; Fraser, Nicholas C ; Corso, Taryn
