The palaeoenvironment associated with a partial iguanadon skeleton from the Upper Weald clay (Barremian, Early Cretaceous) at Smokejacks brickworks (Ockley, Surrey, UK) based on palynomorphs and ostracods
In 2001 a partial skeleton of an Iguanodon was discovered in the Upper Weald Clay (Barremian, Early Cretaceous) at Smokejacks Brickworks near Ockley, Surrey, UK. When the dinosaur was excavated, a detailed stratigraphic section was logged and 25 samples taken for palynological and micropalaeontological (ostracod and megaspore) analysis, including a...Nye, E ; Feist-Burkhardt, S ; Horne, D J ; Ross, Andrew ; Whittaker, J E

New genus of leaf-mimicking katydids (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae) from the Late Eocene-Early Oligocene of France and England
A new leaf-mimicking katydid (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae: Pseudophyllinae), Archepseudophylla fossilis gen. et sp. nov. is described based on tegmina from the Early Oligocene of France. Lithymnetes laurenti Théobald, 1937 from the Late Eocene of France is transferred to Archepseudophylla comb. nov. The enigmatic ‘Poekilloptera’ melanospila Cockerell, 1921 from the Early Oligocene...Nel, A ; Prokop, J ; Ross, Andrew

Ancient fig wasps indicate at least 34 Myr of stasis in their mutualism with fig trees.
Fig wasps and fig trees are mutually dependent, with each of the 800 or so species of fig trees (Ficus, Moraceae) typically pollinated by a single species of fig wasp (Hymenoptera: Agaonidae). Molecular evidence suggests that the relationship existed over 65 Ma, during the Cretaceous. Here, we record the discovery...Compton, S G ; Ball, A D ; Collinson, M E ; Hayes, P ; Rasnitsyn, A P …

Insects
The coastline of Dorset exposes a long squence of Jurassic age sedimentary rocks which, with its wealth of invertebrate, vertebrate and plant fossils. From the pioneering work of early collectors like Mary Anning onwards, the area has been a cradle of palaeontology. The Lower Lias is particularly fossiliferous and this...Ross, Andrew

New taxa of Tarachoptera from Burmese amber (Insecta, Amphiesmenoptera)
Retortocelis gen. nov. (Insecta, Tarachoptera) is established to accommodate three species from Cretaceous Burmese amber. The species are described as R. longella sp. nov., R. minimella sp. nov. and R. tyloptera sp. nov. The new genus is characterized by the presence of a costal fold on the forewings of the...Mey, W ; Wichard, Wilfried ; Müller, P ; Ross, Emma ; Ross, Andrew
