Does not surprise me - there does not seem to be a single paleontologist, geologist or biologist on this paper...

Chapter 2.13 by Jenks et al. on #Biostratigraphy of #Triassic #Ammonoids: rdcu.be/eNqBl

Additional progress has been made particularly in the Early Triassic:

but also in the Middle to Late Triassic:

Biostratigraphy of Triassic Ammonoids
The Triassic is a turning point in the evolutionary history of ammonoids, characterized by the flourishing Ceratitida and the appearance of the first heteromorphs. Following the end-Permian mass extin...

Chapter 2.9 by Lehmann et al. shows #Paleobiogeography of Early #Cretaceous Ammonoids: rdcu.be/eNamz shifted from a Boreal–Tethyan split to Tethyan dominance, then Austral Realm emergence.

It called for #new #quantitative analyses that #support the rise of the Austral Realm: doi.org/10.1130/G389...
Paleobiogeography of Early Cretaceous Ammonoids
Ammonites are often dominant elements of Early Cretaceous marine faunas. Many species are important index fossils, in some cases with worldwide distribution. We review the paleobiogeography for the Ea...

Chapter 2.7 by Brayard et al. reviewed #Biogeography of #Triassic #Ammonoids: rdcu.be/eMG8P

Latest show cosmopolitanism in Smithian (doi.org/10.1017/pab....) and many #mechanisms shaping distribution depending on interval (doi.org/10.18261/let...; doi.org/10.1016/j.ge...; doi.org/10.1002/spp2...).
Biogeography of Triassic Ammonoids
After the end-Permian mass extinction, ammonoids experienced an explosive recovery followed by episodes of radiation and extinction. These events were associated with sudden biogeographic changes ofte...

The manuscript explores constraints and solutions to think about when preparing for and/or using large CT-data sets from online repositories. Too rarely such aspects have been reported or published. A must read for everyone working with such datasets or repositories.
