title: A new baenid turtle, <i>Palatobaena knellerorum</i> sp. nov., from the lower Paleocene (Danian) Denver Formation of south-central Colorado, U.S.A.

description: Baenidae are the most diverse clade of turtles from the latest Cretaceous and earliest Paleogene of North America. <i>Palatobaena</i> species have a distinctive cranial bauplan within baenid turtles and we herein describe a new species, <i>P. knellerorum</i>, based on a complete cranium from the lower Paleocene Denver Formation in the Denver Basin, Colorado. <i>Palatobaena knellerorum</i> differs from other <i>Palatobaena</i> species in the extreme degree of its dorsally oriented orbits, as well as the presence of a broad pentagonal midline crest formed by the supraoccipital and parietals. It can be further diagnosed from other species of <i>Palatobaena</i> by the following unique combination of characters: having a broadly rounded cranium, presence of upper temporal emargination that extends well anterior to the otic chamber, a broad exposure of the supraoccipital on the dorsal skull roof, a broadly rounded ‘tongue groove’ between the maxillae and premaxillae, and a deeply emarginated nasal region that exposes the underlying premaxillae in dorsal view. <i>Palatobaena knellerorum</i> most closely resembles the Maastrichtian/Danian taxon <i>Palatobaena cohen</i> and the Danian taxon <i>P. bairdi.</i> A phylogenetic analysis places <i>P. knellerorum</i> as sister to <i>P. bairdi</i>, and these taxa are sister to <i>P. cohen</i>. <i>Palatobaena knellerorum</i> overlaps in time with <i>P. cohen</i>, but the two are separated geographically with <i>P. knellerorum</i> restricted to the Denver Basin and <i>P. cohen</i> restricted to the Williston Basin. Cranial anatomical data and sedimentological data suggest <i>Palatobaena</i> spp. were bottom dwelling turtles living in shallow water environments that used a putative proboscis to prey upon freshwater-shelled invertebrates.

title: Supplementary Material for: IL-6 Is Associated with Progression of Coronary Artery Calcification and Mortality in Incident Dialysis Patients

description: <b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Inflammation is important in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Elevated interleukin-6 (IL-6) is associated with cardiovascular events and also predicts mortality in individuals with CKD. Our goal was to determine the association between IL-6, FGF23, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) on coronary artery calcification (CAC) progression and mortality in incident dialysis patients without prior coronary events. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> A prospective cohort of incident adult dialysis participants had CAC measured by ECG-triggered multislice CT scans at baseline and at least 12 months later. Lipids, mineral metabolism markers, FGF23, and inflammatory markers, such as IL-6 and hsCRP, were measured at the baseline visit. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Participants in the high IL-6 tertile had the highest baseline CAC score (133.25 [10.35–466.15]) compared to the low (0.25 [0–212.2]) and intermediate (29.55 [0–182.85]) tertiles. Almost half of the participants with high IL-6 (15 of 32 [46.9%]) experienced progression of CAC compared to participants with low (8 of 32 [25%]) and intermediate (9 of 32 [28.1%]) (<i>p</i> = 0.05) IL-6 levels. Each log increase in IL-6 was associated with increase in death (hazard ratio 2.2, 95% CI: 1.2–3.8; <i>p</i> = 0.01). After adjusting for smoking, age, gender, race, diabetes, phosphate, and baseline calcium score, IL-6 (log) was associated with 2.2 times (95% CI: 1.1–4.6; <i>p</i> = 0.03) increase in death. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> IL-6 is associated with progression of CAC and mortality in incident dialysis patients.

title: The first braincase of the basal aetosaur <i>Aetosauroides scagliai</i> (Archosauria: Pseudosuchia) from the Upper Triassic of Brazil

description: The phylogenetic relationships of Pseudosuchia, the crocodile-line of Archosauria, are still poorly resolved, in part, due to the lack of crucial braincase information for several key taxa. Recently, erpetosuchids and ornithosuchids have been recovered as close relatives to Aetosauria, sharing several braincase features. Here we provide the description of the first braincase of the basal aetosaur <i>Aetosauroides</i> based on specimens from the Upper Triassic Candelária Sequence of Brazil. Our study revealed the presence of an exoccipital lateral ridge and a medial ridge on the supraoccipital (both shared with all aetosaurs and erpetosuchids, but absent in ornithosuchids) and an anterolateral exit for the internal carotids (shared with all aetosaurs and ornithosuchids, but not with erpetosuchids). <i>Aetosauroides</i> lacks a medial contact between the exoccipitals (shared with the aetosaurs <i>Desmatosuchus smalli</i> and <i>Tecovasuchus</i>) and possesses a single hypoglossal foramen (contrasting with <i>Stagonolepis robertsoni</i> and <i>Desmatosuchus spurensis</i>). It also differs from the putative Argentinian <i>Aetosauroides</i> (PVSJ 326) by the presence of a ridge connecting the basal tubera medially (contrasting also with all stagonolepidoideans) and by a bulbous and ventrolaterally recurved basipterygoid process (contrasting with <i>Paratypothorax</i>). These features show that the braincase of aetosaurs is suitable for providing further phylogenetic information and may contribute to resolving controversies within Pseudosuchia relationships.

title: Osteology and digital reconstruction of the skull of the early tetrapod <i>Whatcheeria deltae</i>

description: The Early Carboniferous stem tetrapod <i>Whatcheeria deltae</i> is among the earliest-branching limbed tetrapods represented by multiple near-complete specimens, making it an important taxon in understanding the vertebrate water-to-land transition. However, all preserved skulls of <i>Whatcheeria</i> suffer from post-mortem crushing and lateral compression, which has made cranial reconstruction problematic. In this study, computed tomography data of three <i>Whatcheeria</i> specimens were segmented using visualization software to digitally separate each individual skull bone from matrix. Digital methods were used to repair and retrodeform the bones and produce the first complete three-dimensional skull reconstruction of <i>Whatcheeria</i>. We provide a revised description of the cranial and lower jaw anatomy of <i>Whatcheeria</i> based on CT data, focusing on sutural morphology and previously unknown anatomical details. Our findings suggest that <i>Whatcheeria</i> had one of the narrowest skulls of any known early tetrapod, a gap between the nasals, and significant overlap of the lacrimal onto the nasal and prefrontal. Sutural morphology is used to infer loading regime in the skull during feeding and suggests the skull of <i>Whatcheeria</i> was well adapted to resist stresses induced by biting large prey with its enlarged anterior fangs.

title: A new diapsid with a unique tooth structure from the Middle Triassic (Ladinian) of Germany

description: The Middle Triassic was an important time in the evolutionary history of reptiles because it was during this time that many modern groups originated and initially diversified. In this context, the rich fossiliferous deposits of the Ladinian-age Erfurt Formation in southern Germany play an important role in elucidating reptilian diversity during this interval. Here we present an interesting record of a reptile with an unusual dentition. The material comprises a fragment of a left dentary. The teeth are tightly spaced and have chisel-shaped crowns, with the posterolingually extending apices abutting those of the successive teeth and forming a continuous cutting edge. Micro-computed tomography scanning of the jaw fragment revealed the teeth have expanded roots and sit on an open, shallow groove. The Meckelian canal is partially open lingually and a second canal for the inferior alveolar nerve and artery extends parallel to it. Although the preserved anatomical features of the material are insufficient for precise phylogenetic placement, the structure of the robust dentary and its teeth resembles those of some lepidosaurs and certain early Mesozoic marine diapsids. The distinctive morphology of the teeth, combined with the apparent lack of tooth wear, makes it difficult to assess their functional significance. It is interesting that extinct tetrapods with similar tooth morphologies come from strata representing freshwater and brackish-water paleoenvironments, which may serve as an additional line of evidence for future Morpho-functional assessments.

title: New late Oligocene caviomorph rodents from Mendoza Province, central-western Argentina

description: Late Oligocene caviomorphs represent one of the most important early adaptive radiations of this group of rodents. They show a high taxonomic diversity and a wide geographic distribution, with those found in the upper Oligocene of Salla (Bolivia) and Patagonia (Argentina) being particularly diverse. However, caviomorphs from the Deseadan South American Land Mammal Age in other latitudes are still scarcely known. In this contribution, we describe new caviomorph rodents from the Deseadan levels of Quebrada Fiera locality (Mendoza Province; central-western Argentina) and evaluate their systematic and paleobiogeographic significance. The taxonomic composition of the caviomorphs from Quebrada Fiera reveals a complex biogeographic history, as we recognize one endemic Cavioidea (<i>Asteromys puelche</i> sp. nov.) and two Chinchilloidea: one with Patagonian affinities (<i>Cephalomys</i> sp.) and another with a wide distribution in South America (<i>Incamys bolivianus</i>). <i>Asteromys puelche</i> sp. nov., shows closer phylogenetic affinities with the Bolivian <i>A. bolivianus</i> than with the Patagonian <i>A. punctus</i>. These rodents, in common with the whole mammalian association from Quebrada Fiera, show a mix of endemic taxa and others shared with higher and lower latitudes.

title: First record of mawsoniid coelacanths (Actinistia, Sarcopterygii) from the marine Rhaetian (Upper Triassic) of Bonenburg, Germany

description: Coelacanths are represented today by a single genus, <i>Latimeria</i>. They are known to be ‘living fossils’, because their evolutionary history dates back into the Devonian. Through the Upper Triassic, coelacanths are represented by two families, the Latimeriidae and Mawsoniidae. While latimeriids represent their marine lineage, mawsoniids were, until recently (Deesri et al., 2018), thought to be exclusively freshwater inhabitants. Through the Late Triassic, mawsoniids originated in freshwater environments of America, and only little is known about their evolution in Europe during this time period. Here we report on two morphotypes of mawsoniid basisphenoids from the marine Rhaetian (Upper Triassic) Bonenburg locality (Kreis Höxter, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany) showing that (1) Late Triassic coelacanths from Germany can be assigned to the family level, specifically to Mawsoniidae, (2) mawsoniid coelacanths were already present in Europe in the Late Triassic, and (3) these inhabited marine environments at the end of the Triassic, supporting the affinities of habitat preference of previous finds from France (Deesri et al., 2018). The results strengthen the hypothesis an intermediate marine phase between the origin of Mawsoniidae in freshwater environments of nowadays North America during the Late Triassic and their final occurrence in continental deposits of Western Gondwana (Africa and South America) and nowadays Europe in the Late Cretaceous (Cavin et al., 2019).
