Paleontology or palaeontology is the study of prehistoric life forms on Earth through the examination of plant and animal fossils. [1] This includes the study of body fossils, tracks ( ichnites ), burrows , cast-off parts, fossilised feces ( coprolites ), palynomorphs and chemical residues .
Frese, McCurry & Wells (2024) describe pupae and uncased larvae of caddisflies from the Miocene McGraths Flat Lagerstätte (), including specimens with large compound eyes preserving details of the rhabdoms and corneal nanocoating and with other external and internal structures, and interpret the environment of the studied caddisflies as affected by cyclic catastrophic events.
Using Spinophorosaurus as an example, Vidal (2024) explains how virtual 3D models of sauropods have enabled an understanding of their biomechanics. [ 231 ] Agustí, Alcalá & Santos-Cubedo (2024) propose that sauropod gigantism was an adaptation that increased the ability of sauropods to travel great distances, necessitated by pronounced ...

A study on the entheseal patterns in the hand skeleton of Australopithecus afarensis, A. africanus and A. sediba is published by Kunze et al. (2024), who interpret their findings as suggesting that the habitual hand use of A. sediba and A. afarensis included activities similar to power-squeeze grasping and in-hand manipulation of members of the ...
Forte et al. (2024) study the morphology, cuticular patterns and isotope geochemistry of Permian conifer fossils from the Bletterbach plant fossil assemblage , reporting evidence of a unique geochemical composition of fossils of Majonica alpina (possibly related to adaptation to specific environmental conditions), as well as evidence of ...
