@WFS,World Fossil Society,Riffin T Sajeev,Russel T Sajeev Animals evolved from single-celled ancestors, before diversifying into 30 or 40 distinct anatomical designs. When and how animal ancestors made the transition from single-celled microbes to complex multicellular organisms has been the focus of intense debate. Until now, this question could only be addressed by studying living animals […]

WFS News: Early adaptation to eolian sand dunes by basal amniotes is documented in two Pennsylvanian Grand Canyon track ways
August 23rd, 2020 
Riffin @WFS,World Fossil society,Riffin T Sajeev,Russel T Sajeev We report the discovery of two very early, basal-amniote fossil trackways on the same bedding plane in eolian sandstone of the Pennsylvanian Manakacha Formation in Grand Canyon, Arizona. Trackway 1, which is Chelichnus-like, we interpret to be a shallow undertrackway. It displays a distinctive, sideways-drifting, footprint pattern not previously […]

WFS News: Vectaerovenator inopinatus,New dinosaur related to T. rex
August 12th, 2020 Riffin @WFS,World Fossil Society,Riffin T Sajeev,Russel T Sajeev A new species of dinosaur has been discovered on the Isle of Wight. Palaeontologists at the University of Southampton believe four bones found at Shanklin last year belong to a new species of theropod dinosaur. It lived in the Cretaceous period, 115 million years ago, and is estimated […]
WFS News: Evolution of the earliest dinosaurs
August 9th, 2020 Riffin @WFS,World Fossil Society,Riffin T Sajeev,Russel T Sajeev Present knowledge of Late Triassic tetrapod evolution, including the rise of dinosaurs, relies heavily on the fossil-rich continental deposits of South America, their precise depositional histories and correlations. We report on an extended succession of the Ischigualasto Formation exposed in the Hoyada del Cerro Las Lajas (La Rioja, […]
