Toarcian belemnite accumulations investigation with the support of CT data
Body size changes have been reported across crisis intervals. Belemnites – now considered extinct stemdecabrachians – have rarely been investigated for this purpose, and the few studies have resulted in ambiguous outcomes. Here we investigate two Toarcian belemnite accumulations in southern Germany from a morphometric point of view with the support of computed tomography data. […]

International Palaeontological Congress, from July 9th to 13th, 2018, France
Erlangen paleontologists and TERSANE members met in Paris for the 5th International Palaeontological Congress. A total of 12 talks and keynotes were presented on diverse topics such as latitudinal selectivity, body size and paleobiogeographic patterns during mass extinctions. Diversity patterns and parasites in the fossil record were also part of the research presented at this […]

Visiting scientist – Amanda Godbold, University of Southern California
Amanda Godbold is visiting the Friedrich-Alexander Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg from May 5th to July 31st 2018. During her stay she will compare the temporal changes in biodiversity across multiple sections within the Dachstein reef for the purpose of assessing ecologic stability. She is also interested in recording the spatial variability of these patch reefs. Amanda studies […]

Talk of Prof. Yukio Isozaki: Wonders of the end-Guadalupian (Permian) extinction, 26 June, 14:30
Wonders of the end-Guadalupian (Permian) extinction The largest mass extinction of the Phanerozoic occurred in two distinct steps. The Permo-Triassic boundary extinction, the second episode (252 Ma), is widely known; however, the first one at the end of Guadalupian (Middle Permian; 259 Ma) was probably more significant in the life history and environments of the […]
