Life restoration of Kongonaphon kely, a newly described reptile near the ancestry of dinosaurs and pterosaurs, shown to scale with human hands. The fossils of Kongonaphon were found in Triassic (~237 million years ago) rocks in southwestern Madagascar and demonstrate the existence of remarkably small animals along the dinosaurian stem.

Pictured left is an exceptionally preserved male pollen cone of Araucaria huncoensis showing characteristic cylindrical shape and many long, pointed bracts at the base. Pictured right is a leafy branch fossil of Araucaria huncoensis, showing rare preservation of a branching point connecting two leafy branch segments and a connected growth point on the right segment. The branches are usually shed from the tree as individual segments.
