Triassic tragedy

“A thin layer of Middle Triassic Otter Sandstone recently exposed on south-west England’s East Devon coast produced abundant and diverse vertebrate fossils, including previously unrecorded taxa. Some of the remains are remarkably complete, allowing CT scanning of Otter Sandstone fossils for the first time. Here we discuss the formation of this assemblage and summarize the preserved fauna, which provides an important insight into the recovery of terrestrial ecosystems following the Earth’s greatest mass extinction.” Access it at GeologyToday.
