The Earliest Feathers from the Lower Cretaceous Dabeigou Formation of North Hebei: Implications for the Early Evolution of the Jehol Biota

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study reports two isolated feather fossils from the Lower Cretaceous Dabeigou Formation in northeastern China. Morphological analyses identified them as the earliest known feathered theropods (potentially including avian) in the Jehol Biota. This finding reveals a complex ecosystem at the dawn of the Jehol Biota, bridging the temporal and faunal ...

Late Middle–early Late Albian ammonites from Ecuador

open access: yesCretaceous Research, 2005
Ammonites of the Albian genera Brancoceras, Dipoloceras, Mortoniceratoides and Neophlycticeras are described and illustrated for the first time from Ecuador. Precise stratigraphic distribution in the Rio Misahuali field section allows delineation of the Middle/Upper Albian boundary in the Oriente of Ecuador through the recognition of the Dipoloceras ...
