Isolated capsule-like reproductive organs from the upper Permian of the Southern Alps, NE Italy, are described as Brinkia gen. nov. Two species have been distinguished, i.e. Brinkia kerpiana sp. nov. and B. cortianensis sp. nov. Brinkia capsules resemble in gross morphology single valves of the Leptostrobus-type, Mesozoic reproductive organs belonging to the Czekanowskiales. A czekanowskialean affinity is reinforced by the fact that the Brinkia remains are found associated with straplike leaves resembling those of Czekanowskia. This would expand the record of the Czekanowskiales to the Wuchiapingian (early Lopingian) and suggests that, during the arid late Permian climate, representatives of the order could occupy the more humid habitats within the deltaic floodplain formed during a sea-level rise.

“…The Late Permian palaeogeography encompassed three large continental masses that are principally distributed at the mid-latitudes, namely the Gondwana, Laurasia and Siberia, joined together to form the supercontinent Pangaea (Bernardi et al, 2017). Well documented Late Permian tetrapod ecosystems are known from these landmasses, where the tetrapod associations were structured and provincialized at high taxonomic levels (Bernardi et al, 2017).…”

The Torre del Porticciolo palaeontological locality (Alghero, north‐west Sardinia, Italy) is important for having provided the skeletal remains of the first Permian basal synapsid from Italy, Alierasaurus ronchii, the largest late early Permian to early middle Permian non‐therapsid synapsid known to date. Recently, other skeletal remains preliminarily attributed to a carnivorous non‐therapsid synapsid were described from a second site, approximately from the same stratigraphic level within the Cala del Vino Fm. During the excavation of this second site, tetrapod tracks were found near Cala Viola, about 1 km from the first two sites. The new find represents the first ichnological record from the Permian of Sardinia. The ichnological analysis allowed the recognition of tetrapods presently not recognized, just on the base of skeletal remains. This new evidence sheds more light on the faunal diversity within the Cala del Vino Fm., which is one of the few examples in the Permian of Europe of a combined ichno‐ and body‐fossil record. The tracks have been referred to as Merifontichnus, an ichnotaxon established from the uppermost portion of the Permian succession of the Lodève Basin in southern France. The new material is the first reliable occurrence of this ichnotaxon from Italy and would represent, to date, the oldest occurrence of the ichnogenus.
