• Portrait of a Gondwanan ecosystem: A new late Permian fossil locality from KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa (2009, background): “This taxon is unique to only two Assemblage Zones in the Karoo, an early late Permian (Wuchiapingian) Cistecephalus Assemblage Zone and a younger late Permian (Changhsingian) Dicynodon Assemblage Zone (Kitching, 1977, 1995; Rubidge, 2005).”
• The Femoral Ontogeny and Long Bone Histology of the Middle Triassic (?Late Anisian) Dinosauriform Asilisaurus kongwe and Implications for the Growth of Early Dinosaurs (2016, background): “…and specifically Asilisaurus kongwe originate from a series of localities within the Anisian (Lucas, 1998; Hancox, 2000; Abdala et al., 2005; Rubidge, 2005; Hancox et al., 2013) Lifua Member of the Manda beds in two major areas sampled by our team within the Ruhuhu Basin: a western area and…”
• Late Permian (Lopingian) terrestrial ecosystems: A global comparison with new data from the low-latitude Bletterbach Biota (2017, background): “…in South Africa represents by far the best-known portrait of late Permian terrestrial ecosystems and their geological context (e.g., Anderson and Anderson, 1985; Rubidge, 2005; Catuneanu et al., 2005; Roopnarine et al., 2007; Prevec et al., 2009; Smith et al., 2012; Rubidge et al., 2013, 2016).”
• The Early Evolution of Archosaurs: Relationships and the Origin of Major Clades (2011, background): “Mesosuchus browni Watson, 1912 AGE: Anisian, Middle Triassic (Rubidge, 2005).”
• A comprehensive taxonomic revision of Dicynodon (Therapsida, Anomodontia) and its implications for dicynodont phylogeny, biogeography, and biostratigraphy (2011, background): “…deposits, dicynodonts have been extensively utilized in vertebrate biostratigraphy (e.g., Broom, 1906; Watson, 1914b; Drysdall and Kitching, 1963; Kitching, 1977; Sun, 1980; Cox, 1991; Lucas, 1993, 1998a, 1998b, 1999, 2006, 2010; Rubidge, 1995, 2005; Gay and Cruickshank, 1999; Golubev, 2000).”
• The first half of tetrapod evolution, sampling proxies, and fossil record quality (2013, background): “A similar diversity reduction, 92 out of 113 genera (81%), occurred in the lower Wuchiapingian, with the loss of further genera of parareptiles (millerettids, pareiasaurids), dicynodonts, gorgonopsians, and therocephalians (Benton et al., 2004; Rubidge, 2005; Benton, 2012).”
• REDESCRIPTION OF PLATYCRANIELLUS ELEGANS (THERAPSIDA, CYNODONTIA) FROM THE LOWER TRIASSIC OF SOUTH AFRICA, AND THE CLADISTIC RELATIONSHIPS OF EUTHERIODONTS (2007, background): “…(1932b), Parrington (1934), Boonstra (1935), Rigney (1938), Brink (1954b), Abdala (2003); upper portion of the Balfour Formation, and Katberg and Normandien formations, Karoo Basin, South Africa, Lystrosaurus AZ (Groenewald and Kitching 1995); Induan–Early Olenekian (Neveling 2004; Rubidge 2005).”
• Best Practices for Justifying Fossil Calibrations (2011, background): “…Formation preserves vertebrate fossils that are thought to be correlative to other Early Triassic assemblages in Pangaea (Shu and Norris 1988; Rubidge 2005; Nesbitt et al. 2011), what is most relevant is that the formation preserves an extensive palynofloral (pollen and spore) assemblage…”
