Tetrapod ichnology in Italy: the state of the art Guest editorial
(Sapienza Università di Roma, 2020-09-22)
This year, 2020, marks the 150th anniversary of the seminal work by Giulio Curioni (1870), representing the first published scientific contribution on tetrapod footprints from Italy. We took this opportunity to discuss the ...
A review of the concepts of ‘axony’ and their bearing on tetrapod ichnology
(Taylor & Francis, 2018-08)
Two meanings of the term axony are found in the ichnological literature. Multiple meanings may prove to be a double-edge sword, complicating scientific communication. In vertebrate ichnology the first meaning of axony ...
Reply to discussion of “Defining the morphological quality of fossil footprints. Problems and principles of preservation in tetrapod ichnology with examples from the Palaeozoic to the present” by Marchetti et al. (2019)
(Elsevier Science, 2020-09)
Tetrapod ichnology is undergoing a deep methodological and conceptual renovation, and it is natural that concept definitions and applications are still developing through healthy scientific discussions. The results of this ...
An integrative physical, mineralogical and ichnological approach to characterize underfilled lake-basins
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-03)
Lakes are particularly sensitive to environmental fluctuations, which arerecorded in their facies and stratigraphy. Ephemeral lakes reveal their sensi-tivity to palaeoenvironmental changes in the overprinting of the ...
A Temnospondyl Trackway from the Early Mesozoic of Western Gondwana and Its Implications for Basal Tetrapod Locomotion
(Public Library Of Science, 2014-08)
Background: Temnospondyls are one of the earliest radiations of limbed vertebrates. Skeletal remains of more than 190 genera have been identified from late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic rocks. Paleozoic temnospondyls comprise ...
Cretaceous Small Scavengers: Feeding Traces in Tetrapod Bones from Patagonia, Argentina
(Public Library of Science, 2012)
On the first description of tetrapod footprints from Italy: Re-analysis of the original specimen after 150 years
(Societa Geologica Italiana, 2018-03)
In Italy, vertebrate ichnology developed rather recently, especially starting from the 70’s of the last century. However, fossil footprints from Italian continental successions were known since the 19th century. The first ...
Tetrapod burrows from the Middle–Upper Triassic Chañares Formation (La Rioja, Argentina) and its palaeoecological implications
(Elsevier Science, 2018-05)
We describe tetrapod burrows from the uppermost Middle–lower Upper Triassic (latest Ladinian–early Carnian) Chañares Formation (Ischigualasto-Villa Unión Basin), La Rioja Province, northwestern Argentina. The burrows were ...
First tetrapod footprints from the Permian of Sardinia and their palaeontological and stratigraphical significance
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2019-07)
The Torre del Porticciolo palaeontological locality (Alghero, north-west Sardinia, Italy) is important for having provided the skeletal remains of the first Permian basal synapsid from Italy, Alierasaurus ronchii, the ...
