2018 in Paleontology

2018 in paleontology
Paleontology or palaeontology is the study of prehistoric life forms on Earth through the examination of plant and animal
fossils.[1] This includes the study of body fossils, tracks (ichnites), burrows, cast-off parts, fossilised feces (coprolites), List of years (table)
palynomorphs and chemical residues. Because humans have encountered fossils for millennia, paleontology has a long in
history both before and after becoming formalized as a science. This article records significant discoveries and events paleontology
related to paleontology that occurred or were published in the year 2018. … 2008 · 2009 · 2010 · 2011 · 2012

New three dimensionally phosphatized microfossils of coronate scyphozoan Qinscyphus necopinus, including a new type of fossil embryo, are
described from the Cambrian (Fortunian) Kuanchuanpu Formation (China) by Shao et al. (2018), who interpret their findings as indicating that
Qinscyphus underwent direct development.[2]
A study on the morphology of the conulariid species Carinachites spinatus based on a new specimen collected from the lower Cambrian
Kuanchuanpu Formation (China) is published by Han et al. (2018).[3]
Revision of stony corals from the Lower Cretaceous (Berriasian) Oehrli Formation (Austria and Switzerland) is published by Baron-Szabo
(2018), who compares this fauna with five additional Berriasian coral faunas.[4]

the period of a scarcity of trace elements, followed by a broad-scale diversification of eukaryotes during the period of a relative abundance of
trace elements.[392]

biota forming complex-type communities throughout much of their stratigraphic range, and thus likely comprising species that competed for
different resources and/or created niche for others.[394]

published by Wagner, Plotnick & Lyons (2018).[407]
