Opis:
The early evolution of salamanders, which are one of the three living groups of lissamphibians, is not well known. Both stem- and crown-group salamanders first appeared in the Middle Jurassic (Bathonian), but subsequently had different evolutionary histories: stem salamanders were thought to have gone extinct in the Late Jurassic, while crown salamanders persist to the present day. Here, I report the discovery of an indeterminate stem salamander in the Lower Cretaceous (Aptian–Albian) Ilek Formation of Western Siberia. This is new evidence that the most basal salamanders survived beyond the Jurassic–Cretaceous boundary and co-existed with crown-group salamanders during approximately the first 40 million years of the known history of salamanders. The recognition of stem salamanders in the Early Cretaceous of Western Siberia adds to the inventory of taxa that suggest this area was a refugium for various groups of vertebrates with Jurassic affinities.

Opis:
A partial ornithocheirid, representing a rare example of a pterosaurian body fossil from the Nova Olinda Member of the Crato Formation, NE Brazil, is described from the collections of the State Museum of Natural History, Karlsruhe. While similar in preservation and taphonomy to Arthurdactylus conandoylei, it is distinguished by slight differences in biometric ratios, but the absence of a skull prevents closer identification. Mostly complete body fossils belonging to ornithocheiroid pterosaurs appear to be relatively more abundant in the younger Romualdo Member of the Santana Formation, making the described specimen one of only two well documented ornithocheiroids known from the Nova Olinda Lagerstätte.

Opis:
The “symmetrodont” mammal, Gobiotheriodon infinitus (Trofimov, 1980), from the Early Cretaceous (Aptian–Albian) of Mongolia, is redescribed.The species is restricted to the holotype only (dentary with three last molars), the referred maxillary fragment with M3? is considered here as cf. Gobiconodon sp.The dental formula of G. infinitusis reinterpreted as i1–3 c1 p1–3 m1–4. G. infinitus is characterized by a short dentary symphysis; long, well−developed Meckel's groove; small, triangular−shaped pterygoid fossa; weakly developed pterygoid crest; i3 enlarged; p1–3 two−rooted; lower molars acute− to obtuse−angled, labial cingulids lacking, lingual cingulids very short, well developed mesial and distal cingulid cuspules (“e” and “d”) and prominent wear surface on the paracristid. Gobiotheriodon is similar to Tinodon (Late Jurassic, USA; Early Cretaceous, Great Britain and Portugal) in postcanine dental formula and structure of the pterygoid fossa; it is provisionally assigned to Tinodontidae Marsh, 1887.Some taxa previously assigned to (or suggested as possible relatives of) “Symmetrodonta” are reviewed.Amphidontidae Simpson, 1925 is considered as nomen dubium.A new classification for “Symmetrodonta” is proposed.

The morphology of the single preserved molar of the holotype of the Australian Early Cretaceous (Aptian) mammal Teinolophos trusleri shows that it is a monotreme and probably a steropodontid, rather than a 'eupantothere' as originally proposed. The structure of the rear of the jaw of T. trusleri supports the molecular evidence that previously formed the sole basis for recognising the Steropodontidae as a distinct family.

Opis:
Eutherian mammals (Placentalia and all mammals phylogenetically closer to placentals than to marsupials) comprise the vast majority of extant Mammalia. Among these there is a phenomenal range of forms and sizes, but the origins of crown group placentals are obscure. They lie within the generally tiny mammals of the Mesozoic, represented for the most part by isolated teeth and jaws, and there is strongly conflicting evidence from phenomic and molecular data as to the date of origin of both Eutheria and Placentalia. The oldest purported eutherians are Juramaia from the Upper Jurassic of China, and Eomaia and Acristatherium from the Lower Cretaceous, also of China. Based on dental characters and analyses of other morphological and molecular data, doubt has recently been cast on the eutherian affinities of the Chinese taxa and consequently on the date of emergence of Eutheria. Until now, the only tribosphenic mammal recorded from the earliest Cretaceous (Berriasian) Purbeck Group of Britain was the stem tribosphenidan Tribactonodon. Here we document two new tribosphenic mammals from the Purbeck Group, Durlstotherium gen. nov. and Durlstodon gen. nov., showing highly derived eutherian molar characters that support the early emergence of this clade, prior to the Cretaceous.

Palaeomicromenneus lebanensis gen. et sp. nov. (Araneae: Deinopidae) is described from Upper Neocomian–basal Lower Aptian (ca. 125–135 Ma) Cretaceous amber from the Hammana/Mdeyrij outcrop, Lebanon. This is the oldest known, and possibly the first true fossil, deinopid. The lack of ocular modifications in the new fossil genus does not exclude it from having exhibited the same net−casting prey capture behaviour as extant deinopids. Alternatively, this prey−capture behaviour may be highly derived and whether it had evolved by the Early Cretaceous cannot be determined for sure; early deinopids (as diagnosed by pedipalp morphology rather than behaviour) may have been orb−web weavers as is their sister taxon the Uloboridae.

Opis:
The geological position and geochemistry of the basaltic sill and tuffs occurring within the Berriasian–?Albian pelagic limestones of the Czorsztyn Succession are described. The volcanic rock succession of the Velykyi (= Veliky) Kamenets’/Vilkhivchyk (= Vulkhovchik, Vulhovchik, Olkhivchyk) sites is related to intra-plate submarine volcanism, which took place at the southeastern termination of the Pieniny Klippen Belt. This volcanism was probably associated with the Early Cretaceous opening of the Magura/Fore-Magura basinal system, bounded by the Silesian/Marmarosh and Czorsztyn palaeoridges to the north and south respectively. The alkaline volcanic rocks from the Velykyi Kamenets’/Vilkhivchyk sites are geochemically similary to the basaltic block from Biała Woda (Małe Pieniny Mts., Poland), which is an olistolith a few metres across within the Jarmuta conglomerates (Maastrichtian/Paleocene). This basaltic block was eroded from the frontal part of the Czorsztyn Nappe and was deposited in the uppermost part of the Grajcarek Succession at the southeastern margin of the Magura Basin.

Opis:
Early Cretaceous calpionellid samples were collected at the ammonoid-bearing Hochkogellocality in the southern most part of the Reichraming Nappe (Ebenforst Syncline, Northern Calcareous Alps). The microfossil fauna sampled from limestone parts of the Rossfeld Formation indicates an early Valanginian age. The standard Calpionellites Zone (with darderi and major subzones) coincides with the early Valanginian ammonoid zones of Busnardoites campylotoxus and Tirnovella pertransiens. The deposition of the limestones in this area occurred in an unstable environment disturbed by gravitational transport which accounts for the different sedimen tary components and accompanying fossils in the accumulated layers, transported from a source area situated to the south.

Opis:
We describe a new boreosphenidan mammal, Atokatheridium boreni gen. et sp. n., from the Early Cretaceous of Oklahoma, based on an upper molar and a tentatively referred lower molar. The upper molar is characterized by a small protocone and unwinged conules, broad stylar shelf, paracone taller than metacone, and lack of pre- and postcingula. Comparisons with relevant Early and Late Cretaceous boreosphenidans suggest closest similarity to Deltatheroida, including one character (extreme development of the distal stylar shelf, which projects labially and lacks cusps) interpreted as derived. The tentatively attributed lower molar shows similarity to Deltatheridium and the ?aegialodontid genus Kielantherium in having the paraconid higher than the metaconid, but differs from Kielantherium in having a differently shaped talonid. From Aegialodon it differs in having a vertically oriented (rather than semi-procumbent) paraconid and a larger talonid. We figure also two isolated trigonids, differing in size, which show some resemblance to that of ?Atokatheridium. Deltatheroidans, despite their generally primitive dental morphology, are otherwise surely known only from the Late Cretaceous, and are largely restricted to the Old World. If a deltatheroidan, the new taxon implies a significant temporal range extension for the group, and provides another biogeographic link between Cretaceous mammals of Asia and North America.
W pracy opisano nowy gatunek i rodzaj prymitywnego ssaka o zębach trybosfenicznych - Atokatheridium boreni, z wczesnej kredy stanu Oklahoma w Stanach Zjednoczonych. Nowy takson oparty jest na dobrze zachowanym górnym zębie trzonowym i na dolnym trzonowcu, zaliczonym z zastrzeżeniem. Atokatheridium zostal zaliczony do podgromady Boreosphenida, obejmującej ssaki o zębach trybosfenicznych, które powstały na Półkuli Północnej zapewne we wczesnej kredzie. Do Boreosphenida należą wszystkie współcześnie żyjące ssaki właściwe - torbacze i łożyskowce, ich kopalni przedstawiciele, oraz formy wymarłe o zębach trybosfenicznych, których stanowisko systematyczne jest nieustalone. Atokatheridium jest jednym z najstarszych znanych przedstawicieli boreosfenidów. Górny trzonowiec nowego taksonu charakteryzuje się małym protokonem, konulami pozbawionymi skrzydełek, bardzo szeroką półką stylarną, oraz brakiem przednich i tylnych wałeczków (cingulum). Porównanie z zębami wczesno- i późnokredowych boresosfenidów wskazuje, że Atokatheridium najbardziej jest zbliżony do przedstawicieli późnokredowego rzędu Deltatheroida, który należy do Metatheria i stanowi grupę siostrzaną torbaczy. Cechą wspólną jest obecność bardzo rozszerzonej części dystalnej półki stylarnej, kt6ra wystaje w kierunku dowargowym i jest pozbawiona guzków stylarnych. Z drugiej strony, dolny trzonowiec zaliczony z zastrzeżeniem do Atokatheridium wykazuje podobieństwo zarówno do trzonowców deltateroidów, jak i do słabo poznanej grupy wczesnokredowych boreosfenidów - egialodontów, szczególnie do rodzaju Kielantherium. W pracy zilustrowano takze dwa niekompletne dolne trzonowce (trygonidy) pochodzące z tej samej formacji co Atokatheridium, które wykazują pewne podobieństwo do trzonowca zaliczonego z zastrzeżeniem do Atokatheridium. Rząd Deltatheroida, który charakteryzuje się ogólnie prymitywną budową zębów i ma wzór zębowy taki jak torbacze, znany był dotąd tylko z późnej kredy i tylko z Pólkuli Północnej. Jeżeli Atokatheridium należy rzeczywiście do Deltatheroida, to wskazywałoby to że deltateroidy pojawiły się we wczesnej kredzie.

Opis:
Pholadomya gigantea is a widely distributed Early Cretaceous bivalve mollusc. It has been recorded in the North Temperate, Tethyan, and South Temperate Realms. Based on recent field work and newly collected material from the Neuquén Basin, the taxonomy, mode of occurrence and palaeobiogeography of this species is reviewed. In the Agrio Formation (Valanginian–Barremian) P. gigantea is neither abundant nor dominant, but occurs throughout the unit. It was facies−dependent being restricted to well−oxygenated waters and soft to firm, sandy and bioclastic substrates of shoreface to inner shelf environments. The life habit of P. gigantea was similar to that of Recent Pholadomya candida, deep burrowing and sedentary, but it has not a pedal gape and accessory muscle scars related to valve closure. Thus a suspension−feeding habit, not a pedal−feeding system, may be inferred as is commonly suggested in other Jurassic and Cretaceous Pholadomya species. Pholadomya agrioensis is a valid taxon that is recorded in the Berriasian–Valanginian of Neuquén. It is similar in outline to P. gigantea and had probably the same basic palaeoecology, even though it has a blunt anterior margin, deep umbonal−ventral sulcus and distinct anterior ornamentation. Once in life position this species was capable of further digging in the sediment. This species probably burrowed in muddy substrates in the offshore zone. Pholadomya sanctaecrucis from the Valanginian of Europe and also recorded in Argentina is ornamented only with commarginal lines and should be removed to the genus Homomya.

Hakusanobaatar matsuoi is an eobaatarid multituberculate characterized by a P4 with cusp formula 3:5, and a P5 with cusp formula 2:6:?2. One of the specimens of H. matsuoi has the best preserved upper premolar series among known eobaatarid specimens. Based on the dentition of H. matsuoi, it is highly probable that the cimolodontan P4 is homologous with the “plagiaulacidan” P5. Tedoribaatar reini is also tentatively attributed to Eobaataridae, and shows a single−rooted p3 and loss of at least the permanent p2. On the basis of these apomorphic features, T. reini is considered to be the “plagiaulacidan” multituberculate that is most closely related to cimolodontans.

Three new multituberculate teeth are described from the Early Cretaceous of Morocco. Denisodon moroccensis gen. et sp. nov. is established for a second lower molar which differs from that of Hahnodon taqueti, from the same locality, by a preserved posterior buccal cusp, a smaller posterior lingual cusp and the less indented lingual wall of the crown. The second tooth is a posterior upper premolar. It is represented by the posterior portion of its crown on which is present only one row of cusps, similar to the conditions in Kielanodon, Eobaatar, Bolodon, and the Pinheirodontidae. The third tooth is a lower incisor, similar to that in Kuehneodon. Both teeth are grouped as „Hahnodontidae, gen. et sp. indet.” Paulchoffatioidea new superfamily is established for the Paulchoffatiidae, Hahnodontidae, and Pinheirodontidae. It is characterized by the following autapomorphies: premolarisation of I2−C, presence of a third row of cusps on the posterior upper premolars and the basin−like structure of the m2. Hahnodontidae and Hahnodon are redefined.

Two additional specimens of the basal tribosphenid mammal Kielantherium gobiense, the first known aegialodont upper molar (possibly M2) and a dentary fragment with m1, are described from the Early Cretaceous Höövör locality in Mongolia. The upper molar shows an initial stage of the protocone development. Kielantherium gobiense has been known from two specimens only, and thus the new material doubles the hypodigm of this species. Kielantherium is clearly not a junior synonym of Aegialodon, as it differs from the latter in having a cusp−like mesiolabial cingulid cuspule f rather than prominent ridge−like precingulid. Kielantherium's lower postcanine dental formula (with four or more premolars and four molars) is distinctive and more primitive than in Peramus and Eutheria which have five premolars and three molars, and Metatheria which have three premolars and four molars.

Opis:
The choristoderan reptile Monjurosuchus is described from the Lower Cretaceous Tetori Group of Japan on the basis of an associated specimen from the Kuwajima Formation, Ishikawa Prefecture, and more fragmentary remains from the contemporaneous Okurodani Formation, Gifu Prefecture. This is the first report of Monjurosuchus from Japan, but a long−necked choristodere, Shokawa, has already been recorded from these deposits. Monjurosuchus was first described from the Lower Cretaceous Jehol Biota of China, although it has only recently been recognised as a choristodere. As reconstructed, the Japanese Monjurosuchus differs from the type species, Monjurosuchus splendens, in the structure of the postorbital region, reduction of the quadratojugal, a slender parietal with a deep groove along the interparietal suture, and elongation of the jugal. As in M. splendens, the lower temporal fenestrae are closed. A cladistic analysis was performed in order to place Japanese and Chinese taxa, including the incompletely described Chinese long−necked Hyphalosaurus lingyanensis, into choristoderan phylogeny. The results support the monophyly of Neochoristodera and of a Sino−Japanese clade of long necked choristoderes. The placement of the European Tertiary Lazarussuchus remains problematic, but the analysis supports its placement within Choristodera rather than on the stem. The identification of Monjurosuchus from Japan provides an additional link between the fossil assemblages of the Tetori Group and those of the slightly younger Jehol Biota of China.

Opis:
Finely−bedded lacustrine deposits of the Aptian (Lower Cretaceous) Xiagou Formation exposed in the Changma Basin of Gansu Province, northwestern China, have yielded numerous fossil vertebrate remains, including approximately 100 avian specimens. Though the majority of these birds appear referable to the ornithuromorph Gansus yumenensis, a number of enantiornithine fossils have also been recovered. Here we report on a specimen consisting of a complete, three−dimensionally preserved sternum, furcula, and sternal ribs that represents a second ornithuromorph taxon from the Xiagou Formation at Changma. The fossil exhibits morphologies that distinguish it from all previously−known Xiagou birds and demonstrate that it represents a derived non−ornithurine member of Ornithuromorpha. Though it is morphologically distinct from the equivalent elements of all other described ornithuromorphs, the material is too incomplete to justify the erection of a new taxon. Nonetheless, it increases the taxonomic diversity of the Xiagou avifauna, thereby expanding our knowledge of Early Cretaceous avian diversity and evolution.
