Volume 59 of Ferrantia contains products of presentations held during the 3rd meeting at the Musée national d'histoire naturelle in Luxembourg (MNHNL). The proceedings volume is well-balancedand includes 8 neontological and 11 paleontological peer-reviewed contributions. The alphabetically ordered papers are covering various biological aspects such as behaviour, embryology, cytology, ontogeny, systematics, taphonomy, paleobiogeography, or phylogenetics.
