• Fossil trees from the basal Triassic Lebung Group at the Makgaba site, west of Mokubilo, Botswana 

  de Wit, Michael; Bamford, Marion; van Waarden, C (Evolutionary Studies Institute, 2018-03)

  Fossil wood samples were collected from an area underlain by Karoo Supergroup rocks along the southern edge of Sua Pan in east central Botswana. From the local stratigraphy it suggests that these fossils have been derived ...
• The first skeletal evidence of a dicynodont from the lower Elliot Formation of South Africa 

  Kammerer, Christian F. (Evolutionary Studies Institute, 2018)

  Historical fossil specimens from the lower Elliot Formation are identified as representing a large-bodied dicynodont, the first known from skeletal material in the Late Triassic of South Africa. Although fragmentary, these ...
• Late Pleistocene vertebrate trace fossils in the Goukamma Nature Reserve, Cape South Coast, South Africa 

  Helm, Charles W.; McCrea, Richard T.; Lockley, Martin G.; Cawthra, Hayley C.; Thesen, Guy H. H.; Mwankunda, Joshua M. (Evolutionary Studies Institute, 2018-02)

  More than 100 Late Pleistocene trace fossil sites have been identified in aeolianites along a 275 kilometer stretch of the Cape south coast. A zone of concentration of such sites exists within the Goukamma Nature Reserve, ...
• Rediscovery of the holotype of Clelandina major Broom, 1948 (Gorgonopsia: Rubidgeinae) with implications for the identity of this species 

  Kammerer, Christian F. (Evolutionary Studies Institute, 2017-12)

  No specimen number was given for the holotype of the rubidgeine gorgonopsian species Clelandina major Broom, 1948 in its original description. Historically, a specimen in the Rubidge Collection (RC 94) was considered to ...
• Biofilm assists recognition of avian trackways in Late Pleistocene coastal aeolianites, South Africa 

  Helm, Charles W.; Anderson, Robert J.; Buckley, Lisa G.; Cawthra, Hayley C.; de Vynck, Jan C. (Evolutionary Studies Institute, 2017-12)

  Fourteen fossil avian tracksites have been identified in Late Pleistocene aeolianite deposits on the Cape south coast of SouthAfrica. One of these sites is unusual because of the preferential adherence of organic material ...
• The bony labyrinth of late Permian Biarmosuchia: palaeobiology and diversity in non-mammalian Therapsida 

  Benoit, Julien; Manger, Paul R; Fernandez, Vincent; Rubidge, Bruce S (2017-07)

  Biarmosuchia, as the basalmost group of Therapsida (the stem group of mammals), are important for understanding mammalian origins and evolution. Unlike other therapsid groups, the bony labyrinth of biarmosuchians has not ...
• Palynological dating and palaeoenvironments of the M1 well, Middle Miocene, Niger Delta, Nigeria 

  Durugbo, Ernest Uzodimma; Olayiwola, Moshood Adegboyega (2017-07)

  The need to increase our knowledge of palaeo-flora is important in palaeoclimatic and palaeoenvironmental reconstruction of the Tertiary Niger Delta as to highlight possible changes in the depositional environments over ...
