The Jurassic–Cretaceous Transition in the Slovenian Basin (Alpine Atlantic): Further Evidence for Palaeoenvironmental Record in Pelagic Sediments

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
Over the vast area of present‐day Europe, the Tithonian–Berriasian transition was a time of climate aridization, which was supposedly related to the more general trend of the latest Jurassic–earliest Cretaceous cooling and restrictions in atmospheric ...

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 ...

Climate characteristics of the eastern Mongolian Plateau, China during the early Early Cretaceous (145–132 Ma): Palynological evidence from the Tongbomiao Formation in Well Hong-6, Hailar Basin

open access: yesChina Geology, 2022
This study identified two palynological assemblages, namely Bayanhuasporites-Cycadopites-Protoconiferus and Cicatricosisporites-Cedripites-Perinopollenites, in the Tongbomiao Formation in the Hongqi Sag in the Hailar Basin, Inner Mongolia, China for the ...

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 ...

Diversification of the Neoselachii (Chondrichthyes) during the Jurassic and Cretaceous [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The Neoselachii are a monophyletic group including all of the extant sharks and rays. They underwent rapid diversification throughout the Jurassic and Cretaceous, going from low-diversity assemblages of members of extinct orders in the Late Triassic to ...

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 ...

Evidence of extensional metamorphism associated to Cretaceous rifting of the North-Maghrebian passive margin : the Tanger- Ketama Unit (External Rif, northern Morocco) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The distribution pattern of diagenetic conditions to very low-grade metamorphism in the eastern Rif has been determined based on a study of clay-mineral assemblages and illite crystallinity of Mesozoic metapelites.

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 ...

Kinematics of the South Atlantic rift [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The South Atlantic rift basin evolved as branch of a large Jurassic-Cretaceous intraplate rift zone between the African and South American plates during the final breakup of western Gondwana.

Pseudoclypeina? crnogorica Radoičić, 1972: Stratigraphic revision and taxonomic note on a little known dasycladalean alga from Montenegro [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Pseudoclypeina? crnogorica was first described in 1972 from the Lower, Cretaceous limestone of the Njegoš Mt. area, Montenegro, Dinaric Carbonate Platform.
