Staurosaccites, a highly distinctive pollen genus, ranges from the late Anisian (Pelsonian; Middle Triassic) to Norian, at low mid latitudes, globally. Here we review systematic taxonomy and spatial temporal of Staurosaccites. We provide an emendation S. tharipatharensis, synonymise minutus with type species quadrifidus, retain densus marginalis. Following comparison morphologically similar env...

Detrital zircons in the matrix of an accretionary complex play important role providing evidence to reconstruct oceanic plate subduction and accretion processes. The Nadanhada (NAC) dominated by Yuejinshan, Raohe Tongjiang complexes provides significant geological better understand Paleo-Pacific subduction–accretion process. Most previous studies have focused on Yuejinshan complexes, while thos...

A new taxon of sphenosuchian crocodylomorph, Dromicosuchus grallator, is described on the basis of a well-preserved, largely articulated partial skeleton from Late Triassic strata in the Durham sub-basin of the Deep River basin (Newark Supergroup) of Durham County, North Carolina. The holotype was preserved directly beneath the skeleton of a rauisuchian archosaur; this association, along with a...
