New specimens of Elphidotarsius russelli (Mammalia, ?Primates, Carpolestidae) and a revision of Plesiadapoid relationships
TL;DR: A phylogenetic analysis based on 73 characters scored for all species of Elphidotarsius, Pronothodectes, and Saxonella, as well as Purgatorius unio, PurgATORius janisae, Pandemonium dis, Chronolestes simul, and Carpodaptes hazelae, indicates that Elphodotarius is a paraphyletic stem taxon at the base of Carpolestidae.

David W. Krause,John R. Wible,Simone Hoffmann,Joseph R. Groenke,Patrick M. O'Connor,Waymon L. Holloway,James B. Rossie +6 more
TL;DR: The hypsodont nature, gross morphology, enamel microstructure, and wear pattern of its molariform teeth serve to unequivocally identify the cranium of V. sertichi as that of a sudamericid gondwanatherian.

TL;DR: A new member of the Maastrichtian Maevarano Formation is proposed to accommodate a distinctive succession of strata exposed along the shores of Lac Kinkony in northwestern Madagascar as mentioned in this paper, where siltstone facies pass up-section to distinctive white sandstones packed with dolomitic mud matrix that exhibit rhythmic clay drapes, flaser and wavy bedding.

Analysis of enamel ultrastructure in archaeology: The identification of Ovis aries and Capra hircus dental remains
TL;DR: Ulastructural features of deep, intermediate and superficial enamel were quantitatively assessed for the mandibular first permanent molars of 10 specimens each of the domestic sheep and goat and may enable archaeozoologists to utilize enamel ultrastructure in order to discriminate between fragmentary dental remains of these caprine species.
