Palaeontologia africana Volume 30

Unknown author (Bernard Price Institute for Palaeontological Research, 1993)
Undescribed suid remains from Bolt's Farm and other Transvaal cave deposits

Cooke, H B S (Bernard Price Institute for Palaeontological Research, 1993)

Although individual suid specimens from other sites have been described, only Makapansgat has been treated comprehensively, but much new material has come to light in the past three decades. The University of California ...
Postcranial evidence for the evolution of the Black Wildebeest, Connochaetes gnou: an exploratory study

Brink, James S (Bernard Price Institute for Palaeontological Research, 1993)

Black wildebeest fossils from the interior of South Africa and the Cape coastal zone are compared to modern specimens in order to trace the pattern of morphological change and the distribution of the species through time. ...
A preliminary estimate of the age of the Gladysvale australopithecine site

Berger, Lee R (Bernard Price Institute for Palaeontological Research, 1993)

Excavations conducted at the Gladysvale site in the Transvaal, South Africa during 1991 -1992 have revealed an abundant Plio-Pleistocene fossil fauna from the limeworks breccia dumps and in situ decalcified deposits. To ...
A detailed description of the internal structure of the skull of Emydops (Therapsida: Dicynodontia)

Fourie, Heidi (Bernard Price Institute for Palaeontological Research, 1993)

A detailed morphological study of two skulls of Emydops was undertaken by using the serial grinding technique. Graphic reconstructions of various aspects of the skulls were made. The internal structures are described in ...
Taxonomic and evolutionary affinities of Papio izodi fossils from Taung and Sterkfontein

McKee, Jeffrey K (Bernard Price Institute for Palaeontological Research, 1993)

Papio izodi is an extinct papionin found at Taung and Sterkfontein. The taxonomic status of southern African fossils sometimes referred to P. izodi is clarified here in order to verify the existence of the species at ...
Fossil wood from the Brandvlei area, Bushmanland as an indication of palaeoenvironmental changes during the Cainozoic

de Wit, Michiel C J; Bamford, Marion K (Bernard Price Institute for Palaeontological Research, 1993)

Remnants of Cainozoic fluvial deposits occur along the northerly flowing Sak River in Bushmanland, between Brandvlei and Sak River Station. The terraces can be subdivided into older and younger deposits, and occur approximately ...
Statistical analysis of skulls of Triassic proterosuchids (Reptilia, Archosauromorpha) from South Africa

Welman, Johann; Fleming, Alex (Bernard Price Institute for Palaeontological Research, 1993)

Size-related differences have previously been considered to be important in distinguishing the four proterosuchian archosauromorph species described from South Africa. Previous authors hypothesized that these differences ...
Glimpses from Gondolin: a faunal analysis of a fossil site near Broederstroom, Transvaal, South Africa

Watson, V (Bernard Price Institute for Palaeontological Research, 1993)

The faunal analysis of a Plio-pleistocene site near Broederstroom, 34km north west of Pretoria, in the Transvaal has revealed a fossil fauna possibly as old as 2 million years. A single Homo sapiens tooth probably more ...
Variability in shape of the dental arcade of Homo sapiens in Late Pleistocene and modern samples from southern Africa

Thackeray, J Francis; Kieser, J A (Bernard Price Institute for Palaeontological Research, 1993)

Mandibles are among the most common skeletal elements of Late Pleistocene specimens of Homo sapiens from southern African sites (notably Klasies River Mouth and Border Cave). For this reason mandibles have been selected ...
Fossil proboscidean remains from Bolt's Farm and other Transvaal cave breccias

Cooke, H B S (Bernard Price Institute for Palaeontological Research, 1993)

Proboscidean remains are very rare in the Transvaal cave breccias and the few specimens recovered are generally fragmentary but deserve description because of their potential value in correlation and dating. The best ...
Sensitivity of xylem vessel size and frequency to rainfall and temperature: implications for palaeontology

February, Ed (Bernard Price Institute for Palaeontological Research, 1993)

Based on the xylem vessel size and frequency in fossil wood, a number of studies have developed theories on climate change through time. The basic premise of these studies is that xylem vessel size decreases while vessel ...
Dicynodont (Therapsida) bone histology: phylogenetic and physiological implications

Chinsamy, Anusuya; Rubidge, Bruce S (Bernard Price Institute for Palaeontological Research, 1993)

The bone histology of humeri of a number of taxonomically well established and easily definable dicynodont genera is described and compared. The bone of Aulacephalodon, Cistecephalus, Dicynodon, Endothiodon, Lystrosaurus, ...
7th Biennial Conference of the Palaeontological Society of South Africa 6th-9th September 1992 Programme

Unknown author (Bernard Price Institute for Palaeontological Research, 1993)
Palaeontology and the National Monuments Council

Deacon, Janette (Bernard Price Institute for Palaeontological Research, 1993)

The National Monuments Council is the only statutory body that actively protects the palaeontological resources in South Africa. It does this in three ways: by issuing permits for excavation, collection and export of ...
Taxonomic description of fossil wood from Cainozoic Sak River terraces, near Brandvlei, Bushmanland, South Africa

Bamford, Marion K; de Wit, Michiel C J (Bernard Price Institute for Palaeontological Research, 1993)

Seven pieces of silicified wood are described from two sites near the Sak River, Bushmanland. The Miocene deposit yielded five specimens which can be assigned to the Dipterocarpaceae, Fagaceae, Myrtaceae, Oleaceae and ...
