UNDER THE ARMOR: X-RAY COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHIC RECONSTRUCTION OF THE INTERNAL SKELETON OF COAHOMASUCHUS CHATHAMENSIS (ARCHOSAURIA: AETOSAURIA) FROM THE UPPER TRIASSIC OF NORTH CAROLINA, USA, AND A PHYLOGENETIC ANALYSIS OF AETOSAURIA

Under the armor: X-ray computed tomographic reconstruction of the internal skeleton of Coahomasuchus chathamensis (Archosauria: Aetosauria) from the Upper Triassic of North Carolina, USA, and a phylogenetic analysis of Aetosauria

Aetosauria is a clade of heavily armored, quadrupedal omnivorous to herbivorous archosaurs known from the Late Triassic across what was the supercontinent of Pangea.Their abundance in many deposits relative to the paucity of other Triassic herbivores indicates that they were key components of Late Triassic ecosystems.However, their Mattress Protect

Large Benthic Foraminifera Biozonation of Mauddud Formation in Selected Section from Balad Oil Field, Central Iraq

Three subsurface Pumps sections Ba-1, Ba-4, and Ba-8, and sixty-five thin sections were examined to investigate the biostratigraphy of the Mauddud Formation (age Early Albian - Late Cenomanian) within the Balad Oil Field located in central Iraq.The formation is lithologically composed of dolomitic limestone, creamy oolitic limestone, and shale.Orbi

On generalized Berwald manifolds: extremal compatible linear connections, special metrics and low dimensional spaces

The notion of generalized Berwald manifolds goes back to V.Wagner [60].They are Finsler manifolds admitting linear connections on the base manifold such that the parallel transports preserve the Finslerian length of tangent vectors (compatibility condition).Presenting a panoramic view of the general theory we are going to summarize some special pro
