title: Description of new <i>Kimmerosaurus langhami</i> (Cryptoclididae, Plesiosauria) material recovered from the Kimmeridge Clay Formation, Dorset, U.K.

description: A new specimen of the cryptoclidid plesiosauroid <i>Kimmerosaurus langhami</i> (EC K2134) is described from the Upper Jurassic Kimmeridge Clay Formation, Kimmeridge Bay, Dorset, U.K. We provide new insights into the cranial morphology of this taxon, and significantly, we report the discovery of the first cryptoclidid hyoid, a useful comparative element for future studies. Comprehensive investigations into the anatomy and paleobiology of <i>Kimmerosaurus langhami</i> have been hampered by the scarcity of relevant fossil material. The previous cranial reconstruction of <i>Kimmerosaurus</i> was based on incomplete skull material consisting of part of the skull roof, brain case, dentary, teeth, and vertebrae. Using computed tomography (CT) scanning, we provide high-resolution 3D images of the new material, adding the rostrum, palate, and revised tooth count to the reconstruction. In addition, this new material provides significant insights into the cranial and anterior cervical morphology of <i>K. langhami</i>. Phylogenetic results support the referral of the specimen, placing EC K2134 in a polytomy with the North American taxon <i>Tatenectes laramiensis</i> and known material of <i>K. langhami</i>. This study highlights the use of computed tomography for description of Kimmeridge Clay fossil material.

title: A new armigatid fish (Clupeomorpha, Ellimmichthyiformes) from the Lower Cretaceous of northeastern Italy

description: The abandoned Italcementi Quarry of Vernasso (San Pietro al Natisone, Udine, Friuli Venezia Giulia, northeastern Italy) was opened into the thickest megabed of the Grivò Flysch (megabed no. 11). The megabeds of this unit recorded repeated submarine landslides of large sectors of the margin of the Friuli Carbonate Platform, which collapsed and redeposited in an elongate foredeep basin system during the late Paleocene to early Eocene interval. Some laminated limestone olistoliths, coming from the basal megabreccia of the megabed no. 11 and dating back to the late Hauterivian–early Barremian (Early Cretaceous), yielded an almost neglected fossil ichthyofauna primarily composed of articulated skeletal remains of double-armored herrings (Ellimmichthyiformes). Exquisitely preserved specimens are described in detail herein and assigned to a new armigatid species, <i>Armigatus simonettoi</i> sp. nov. This species is recovered as sister taxon of a clade including the congeneric species <i>A. alticorpus</i>, <i>A</i>. <i>dalmaticus</i>, and <i>A</i>. <i>oligodentatus</i>. The phylogenetic analysis also confirms the monophyletic status of the genus <i>Armigatus</i>. The new double-armored herring species from Vernasso is among the oldest clupeomorph taxa known so far and provides new data to understand the earliest stages of the evolutionary history of the ellimmichthyiform fishes.

title: A new species of Morsoravidae sheds light on beak and limb morphology in stem passerines

description: Morsoravidae is a small clade of probable stem passerines known from the Eocene of Europe and North America. Here, we report an articulated skeleton of a new species of Morsoravidae from the Green River Formation of Wyoming. In contrast to <i>Morsoravis sedilis</i> and <i>Pumiliornis tessellatus</i>, in which the nares appear to have been schizorhinal, the nares of the <i>Consoravis turdirostris</i> gen. et sp. nov. are ovoid and do not extend caudally beyond the nasofrontal hinge. In addition, the processus retroarticularis is much shorter in <i>Consoravis</i> than in <i>Morsoravis</i>. The humerus is similar to that of extant passerines, with a short shaft, short crista deltopectoralis, well-developed tuberculum supracondylare dorsale, and strongly projected processus flexorius. However, the more distal wing elements differ from those of crown passerines in that the olecranon is blunt and the carpometacarpus has a weakly developed processus extensorius. Although fully zygodactyl stem passerines are now well-documented, <i>Consoravis</i> and <i>Sororavis</i> exhibit a semi-zygodactyl foot, in which the trochlea of the fourth metatarsal bears a wing-like flange but lacks a fully developed trochlea accessoria. The unspecialized beak, modest wing length, and relatively short leg together suggest arboreal habits and a generalized diet of invertebrates and fruit for <i>Consoravis</i>, in contrast to more specialized diets of the nectivorous <i>Pumiliornis</i> and the rhynchokinetic, possibly probe-feeding <i>Morsoravis</i>. Phylogenetic analyses support the monophyly of Morsoravidae and weakly support the placement of this clade as sister to all other passerines. These analyses also support the identification of the Oligocene <i>Jamna szybiaki</i> as a stem passerine and the paraphyly of Zygodactylidae.

title: A new itasuchid (Crocodyliformes, Notosuchia) from the Early Cretaceous of Mali and the ancient Paleo-Tegama river system of Gondwana

description: We describe a new genus and species of notosuchian crocodyliform from the “Continental Intercalaire” of the Republic of Mali represented by cranial, mandibular, and postcranial material. Phylogenetic analysis recovers the new taxon, <i>Sissokosuchus maliensis</i>, within Itasuchidae as the sister taxon to <i>Barreirosuchus</i>, and deeply nested within an otherwise South American radiation. <i>Sissokosuchus</i> is the first itasuchid recognized from the Lower Cretaceous “Continental Intercalaire” of West Africa (with <i>Fortignathus felixi</i> potentially representing a second). <i>Sissokosuchus</i> possesses the apomorphic dentary alveolar couplet morphology present in <i>Itasuchus</i> and other later diverging itasuchids. Our analysis also supports a clade-level dichotomy in rostral morphology: Itasuchidae is dominated by narrower, platyrostral taxa and Peirosauridae by oreinirostral taxa. Sedimentology of the site suggests that <i>Sissokosuchus</i> is associated with a large, ancient fluvial channel system. Paleocurrents and detrital zircon data indicate that sediments were derived from myriad sources to the south and east. Our work corroborates hypotheses indicating westward paleoflow of stratigraphically correlative Aptian–Albian fluvial strata in Niger (that preserve similar taxa) into Mali. We hypothesize that a transcontinental river system, here named the Paleo-Tegama River System, was present during this time draining west out of Niger through Mali and into the Tethys Sea. This paleodrainage system would have acted as a late-lasting inland faunal corridor between South America and West Africa, via the West and Central African Rift System, prior to final Gondwanan break-up, or a post break-up dispersal route via the Tethys, for semiaquatic West African crocodyliforms to reach South America, or vice versa.
