An Upper Cretaceous arthropod assemblage from Villaggio del Pescatore (Campanian, Italy) and its implications for peri‐Tethyan palaeobiogeography and palaeoecology

open access: yesPapers in Palaeontology, Volume 11, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
Abstract The Villaggio del Pescatore (VdP) fossil Lagerstätte represents the most significant Upper Cretaceous (lower–middle Campanian) palaeontological locality in Italy and the Mediterranean region. We present the first systematic revision of the VdP fossil assemblage with a focus on its previously undescribed arthropod fauna, providing new insights ...

Interplay Between Salt Tectonics and a Large Igneous Province in the Espírito Santo Basin (Brazil)

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 44, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract Salt tectonics provinces host numerous resources and are now targeted as potential areas of development for energy storage capacities such as underground storage in salt caverns. Sedimentary basins containing salt structures are common at passive margins where volcanic rocks, emplaced either during the lithospheric breakup or the post‐rift ...

Tithonian–Berriasian ammonites from the Baños del Flaco Formation, central Chile

open access: yesJournal of Systematic Palaeontology, 2015
The Baños del Flaco Formation in central Chile contains abundant and well-preserved Tithonian (Late Jurassic) and scarce Berriasian (Early Cretaceous) ammonites. At Rio Maitenes in Curicó Province an assemblage referred to 10 genera and 12 species is here described.

Mode of Continental Thinning and Breakup Along the North Iberian‐Armorican Conjugate Margins in the Bay of Biscay

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract Continental breakup involves multiple extension styles; each linked to unique structural and sedimentary processes. High‐angle, low‐angle, listric and antilistric normal faults develop at different stages and positions during rifting. The Bay of Biscay and its margins, a prototypical example of magma‐poor rifted margins during Jurassic ...

Flexural Development in the Foreland Basin Adjacent to Northern Oman‐UAE Mountain Belt: Effect of Lithospheric Weakening

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 44, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract Inception of obduction is a rare phenomenon in the Wilson cycle and requires specific prerequisites to transfer relatively high‐density oceanic lithosphere over the less‐dense continental lithosphere. The world's famous Semail ophiolite belt developed during the Late Cretaceous, when Neo‐Tethyan oceanic lithosphere obducted onto the rifted ...

Long Story of Long Antennae: Mesozoic Origins of the Subfamily Macrocerinae (Diptera: Keroplatidae)

open access: yesActa Geologica Sinica - English Edition, Volume 99, Issue 5, Page 1225-1248, October 2025.
Abstract The early evolutionary history of the Macrocerinae subfamily (Diptera: Keroplatidae) is poorly understood. However, new material from the Cretaceous, particularly in amber, provides a better understanding of this subject. We reassign the oldest known species of Macrocerinae, Hegalari minor Blagoderov & Arillo, 2002, from the amber of Álava ...

CRETACEOUS PALYNOLOGY (SPORES, POLLEN AND DINOFLAGELLATE CYSTS) OF THE SIQEIFA 1-X BOREHOLE, NORTHERN EGYPT

open access: yesRivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2007
Diverse and well preserved palynofloras were recognized in the Lower Cretaceous succession penetrated by well Siqeifa 1-X in northern Egypt. Dinoflagellate cysts such as Subtilisphaera senegalensis was regarded, with the spores Impardecispora ...

The stepwise rise of angiosperm‐dominated terrestrial ecosystems

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 5, Page 2131-2149, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Angiosperms are the most diverse and abundant plant taxon today and dominate the majority of Earth's terrestrial ecosystems. They underwent rapid divergence and biogeographic expansion from the early to the middle Cretaceous. Yet, transformative ecosystem change brought about by the increased ecological dominance of angiosperms unfolded ...

Paleoenvironmental evolution of the southern Neuquèn basin (Argentina) during the Tithonian-Berriasian (Vaca Muerta and Picún Leufú Formations): a multi-proxy approach

open access: yesBSGF - Earth Sciences Bulletin, 2017
The Tithonian-Berriasian interval in the southern part of the Neuquén Basin is represented by the Vaca Muerta and the Picún Leufú Formations. Facies analysis and correlation of the Vaca Muerta Formation and the lower part of the Picún Leufú Formation in ...
