Intercalibration of Boreal and Tethyan timescales: the magneto-biostratigraphy of the Middle Triassic and the latest Early Triassic from Spitsbergen, Arctic Norway [PDF]
An integrated bio-magnetostratigraphic study of the latest Early Triassic to the upper parts of the Middle Triassic, at Milne Edwardsfjellet in central Spitsbergen, Svalbard, allows a detailed correlation of Boreal and Tethyan biostratigraphies.

Youngest dinocephalian fossils extend the Tapinocephalus Zone, Karoo Basin, South Africa
The dinocephalians (Synapsida, Therapsida) were one of the dominant tetrapod groups of the Middle Permian (Guadalupian Epoch, ~270–260 million years ago) and are most abundantly recorded in the Tapinocephalus Assemblage Zone (AZ) of the Main Karoo Basin,

Biostratigraphy and Palaeoecology of European Equus [PDF]
We present an inventory of the progress of recent research on the biostratigraphy and palaeoecology of the genus Equus sensu lato in Europe. Our discussion starts with the new hypotheses concerning the dispersal and evolution of non-caballine equids of the Early and the beginning of the Middle Pleistocene, focusing on recent discoveries, description of

Taxonomy and biostratigraphy of new and emended species of Cenozoic deep-water agglutinated foraminifera from the Labrador and North Seas [PDF]
Deep marine, fine grained sedimentary strata of Maastrichtian through Miocene age in the Labrador and North Sea sedimentary basins are rich in agglutinated benthic foraminifera.

The Kutch Basin of western India is famous for its rich assemblages of the Callovian–Oxfordian ammonites. The family Oppelidae Douvillé is the second most diverse ammonite group after perisphinctids during the Middle–Upper Jurassic.

High-precision U-Pb ages in the early Tithonian to early Berriasian and implications for the numerical age of the Jurassic-Cretaceous boundary [PDF]
The numerical age of the Jurassic-Cretaceous boundary has been controversial and difficult to determine. In this study, we present high-precision U-Pb geochronological data around the Jurassic-Cretaceous boundary in two distinct sections from different ...

Early Jurassic foraminiferal assemblages in platform carbonates of Mt. Krim, central Slovenia
During the Early Jurassic, the subtropical carbonate platforms of the peri-Tethys Ocean experienced signifiant changes in their architectures, as well as in their biota compositions.

Biostratigraphy of the Pabdeh Formation based on planktonic foraminifera in the Tang-e-Chogan section in Interior Fars, Zagros Basin [PDF]
The biostratigraphy of the marly-limestone Pabdeh Formation has been studied in a section located in the Interior Fars (folded Zagros). Five assemblage biozones of plankton foraminifera with Early Eocene to Late Eocene age were identified in the studied ...

High resolution carbon isotope stratigraphy of the basal Silurian stratotype (Dob's Linn, Scotland) and its global correlation [PDF]
Since its designation as the Global Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP) for the base of the Silurian System, the choice of Dob's Linn, Southern Scotland, has received criticism due to the difficulties of relating its well constrained graptolite ...
