Comparison of jaw apparatuses of Andiprion paxtonae (family unknown; depicted after Hints et al., 2017), Protarabellites luztejadae sp. nov. (Ramphoprionidae) and Protarabellites staufferi (Ramphoprionidae; depicted after Eriksson, 2001). Left and right first maxillae are also depicted from the ventral side (facing the myocoele opening, a diagnostic character for the new species). The maxillae with the dashed line are not known and they are only tentatively reconstructed according to better-known related species. MIL= first left maxilla, MIR= first right maxilla, MIIL= second left maxilla, MIIR= second right maxilla, bp= basal plate, cr= carriers, v= ventral view.

ISELV pre-conference field trip took us from the coast at Agadir with a visit to #Anza museum and pterosaur & dinosaur tracks on the beach, and back up the Atlas Mountains for some #Palaeozoic sites (Cambrian-Permian) near Taroudant and Lamnizla, finishing up with a brief jaunt through Marrakesh! 🇲🇦

Figure 5 from the recent paper from Jurikova et al. (2025), a paleo-artistic representation of the Carboniferous-Permian transition showing luxuriant Carboniferous forests on the left and more arid Permian environments on the right with associated fauna, separated by a river. Caption from the paper: A relatively rapid rise in atmospheric CO2 approximately 294 Ma released the Earth from its penultimate icehouse (left) and transitioned the world to a warmer and drier climate of the Early Permian (right). Palaeo-artistic rendering based on findings of this study and previously published literature

Rapid rise in atmospheric #CO2 marked the end of the Late #Palaeozoic Ice Age

Jurikova et al. 👉 rdcu.be/d7fQJ

"About 294 million years ago, atmospheric CO2 rose abruptly (4-fold), releasing the Earth from its penultimate ice age and transforming the Early Permian into a warmer world."
