Histovariability and fossil diagenesis of Pissarrachampsa (Pseudosuchia, Notosuchia, Baurusuchidae) from the Upper Cretaceous of Southeast Brazil
Pissarrachampsa, a Cretaceous notosuchian, exhibited differential growth rates in its limb bones, with the tibia growing fastest and the fibula slowest. Histological analysis revealed fibrolamellar bone tissue and varying vascularization patterns, indicating a young adult ontogenetic stage and potential adaptations for cursorial locomotion.

The wild species genome ancestry of domestic chickens
Domestic chickens primarily descend from Red junglefowl, but their genomes also contain contributions from Grey, Ceylon, and Green junglefowl through introgression. The extent of introgression varies geographically, suggesting chickens acquired these genetic additions during their dispersal across the globe after domestication.

On the Discovery of a Palæolithic Human Skull and Mandible in a Flint-bearing Gravel overlying the Wealden (Hastings Beds) at Piltdown, Fletching (Sussex)
This paper, which was later revealed to be fraudulent, claimed the discovery of a "missing link" in human evolution, consisting of a skull and jaw found in Pleistocene gravels in Piltdown, England. It argued that these remains represented an early hominid with both ape-like and human-like characteristics, suggesting a unique evolutionary lineage in Britain.
