New ophthalmosaurid ichthyosaurs from the European Lower Cretaceous demonstrate extensive ichthyosaur survival across the Jurassic-Cretaceous boundary. [PDF]
BackgroundIchthyosauria is a diverse clade of marine amniotes that spanned most of the Mesozoic. Until recently, most authors interpreted the fossil record as showing that three major extinction events affected this group during its history: one during ...

Ankylosaurs, dinosaurs possessing extensive body armor, were significant components of terrestrial ecosystems from the Middle Jurassic–latest Cretaceous. They diversified during the Early Cretaceous, becoming globally widespread. The Lower Cretaceous Wealden Supergroup (Berriasian–Aptian) of Britain has produced abundant ankylosaur material, with three

Linoporella buseri Radoičić, 1975, revisited: A Liassic dasycladalean alga from the Dinarides and continental Italy [PDF]
The Liassic Linoporella buseri is re-examined, on the basis of an abundant material of reefal origin, originating from the newly described type-locality in Slovenia. It is compared with the Berriasian-Valanginian type-species L.

Lower Cretaceous (Berriasian-Aptian) biostratigraphy of the Neuquén Basin
Abstract The Berriasian-Aptian succession in the Neuquén Basin is mainly marine in the lower part and non-marine in the upper portion. A detailed ammonite zonation is presented for the Berriasian-?Early Barremian interval. While some ammonite taxa are endemic, others are widely distributed and there are several levels where correlation can be

Abstract The Aliança Formation (Jatobá Basin) represents lacustrine deposits formed in oxygenated waters that hosted a diverse fauna, including Hybodontiform sharks. Within this group, the Family Lonchidiidae comprises 11 valid genera, with Parvodus previously reported in Brazilian deposits from the Brejo Santo Formation (Araripe Basin, Late Jurassic ...
