Carboniferous pycnoxylic woods from the Dwyka Group of southern Namibia

Bangert, Berthold; Bamford, Marion K (Bernard Price Institute for Palaeontological Research, 2001)

Glacial deposits of the Dwyka Group between Keetmanshoop and Mariental in southern Namibia have been reinvestigated for palaeontological remains and associated tuff horizons in an attempt to accurately date the deposits. ...
Cranial anatomy of the giant Middle Triassic temnospondyl Cherninia megarhina and a review of feeding in mastodonsaurids

Damiani, Ross J (Bernard Price Institute for Palaeontological Research, 2001)

The skull of Cherninia (,Parotosuchus') megarhina, a giant but poorly known mastodonsaurid temnospondyl from the Upper Horizon of the Middle Triassic N'tawere Formation of the Upper Luangwa Valley, Zambia, is redescribed ...
Cranial description and taxonomic re-evaluation of Kannemeyeria argintinensis (Therapsida: Dicynodontia)

Renaut, Hancox, PJ AJ (Bernard Price Institute for Palaeontological Research, 2001)

Examination of the holotype skull of the Triassic dicynodont Kannemeyeria argentinensis Bonaparte reveals that many of purported diagnostic characters are distortion-related. A redescription of the holotype indicates that ...
Interpretive problems in a search for micro-invertebrate fossils from a Neoproterozoic limestone in Namibia

Brain, C K; Hoffman, K -H; Prave, A R; Fallick, A E; Coetzee, J; Botha, A J (Bernard Price Institute for Palaeontological Research, 2001)

Attention is focussed on a carbonate sequence in the Auros Formation of the Otavi Group in northern Namibia, where several limestone layers are found to have been phosphatised. These contain an abundance of unusual objects, ...
Locomotor and habitat classifications of cercopithecoid postcranial material from Sterkfontein Member 4, Bolt's Farm and Swartkrans Members 1 and 2, South Africa

Elton, Sarah (Bernard Price Institute for Palaeontological Research, 2001)

Much southern African cercopithecoid postcranial material is not associated with craniodental remains. Consequently, this postcranial material cannot be confidently assigned to a particular taxon, with the result that ...
A new actinopterygian fish species from the Late Permian Beaufort Group, South Africa

Bender, Patrick (Bernard Price Institute for Palaeontological Research, 2001)

A new genus and species of actinopterygian (ray-finned) fish, Bethesdaichthys kitchingi, is described from the Tatarian, Late Permian, Lower Beaufort Group of South Africa. Bethesdaichthys is presently known from three ...
New evidence of the Giant Hyaena, Pachycrocuta brevirostris (Carnivora, Hyaenidae), from the Gladysvale Cave deposit (Plio-pleistocene, John Nash Nature Reserve, Gauteng, South Africa)

Mutter, Raoul J; Berger, Lee R; Schmid, Peter (Bernard Price Institute for Palaeontological Research, 2001)

A well preserved cranium which represents the most complete skull of Pachycrocuta brevirostris (Carnivora, Hyaenidae) discovered in Africa, and a maxillary fragment from the Gladysvale Cave Deposit (John Nash Nature Reserve, ...
New Viverrinae (Carnivora: Mammalia) from the basal Middle Miocene of Arrisdrift, Namibia

Morales, Jorge; Pickford, Martin; Soria, Dolores; Fraile, Susan (Bernard Price Institute for Palaeontological Research, 2001)

A new genus and species of viverrid of modern type, Orangic!is gariepensis, is described from the basal Middle Miocene locality of Arrisdrift in southern Namibia. It is the earliest known representative of the subfamily ...

A partial skeleton of the tritheledontid Pachygenelus (Therapsida: Cynodontia)

Gow, Chris E (Bernard Price Institute for Palaeontological Research, 2001)

Tritheledontids are advanced cynodonts that are considered the sister group of Mammalia. To date the postcranial skeleton has remained largely unknown, so that cladistic analyses are based on cranial characters only. This ...
Preliminary phylogenetic analysis and stratigraphc congruence of the dicynodont anomodonts (Synapsida: Therapsida)

Angielczyk, Kenneth D (Bernard Price Institute for Palaeontological Research, 2001)

A preliminary phylogenetic analysis of 20 well-known dicynodont taxa was conducted using modern cladistic methods. Many past phylogenetic hypotheses were corroborated, but others conflict with the results of this analysis. ...
