Biostratigraphic Study of the Gurpi Formation Based on Planktonic Foraminifera In Lar Area (Kuh-e-kurdeh Section) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The study of planktonic foraminifera of the Gurpi formations at Lar area (Kuh-e-kurdeh section) enables me to find the most standard biozones defined in mediterranean regions, especially Tethysian domain. Five biozones were determined.

The oldest Brazilian snakes from the cenomanian (Early Late Cretaceous) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
South American Mesozoic snake diversity is mostly represented by genera from the Cenomanian (Najash), Santonian- Campanian (Dinilysia), and Campanian-Maastrichtian (Alamitophis, Patagoniophis, Rionegrophis, and Australophis) of Patagonia, Argentina.

Inside a duck‐billed dinosaur: Vertebral bone microstructure of Huallasaurus (Hadrosauridae), Upper Cretaceous of Patagonia

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Dinosaurs evolved a unique respiratory system with air sacs that contributed to their evolutionary success. Postcranial skeletal pneumaticity (PSP) has been used to infer the presence of air sac systems in some fossil archosaurs. While unambiguous evidence of PSP is well documented in pterosaurs and post‐Carnian saurischians, it remains absent

Modelling of bubble nucleation in trachy-phonolitic magmas: implications for the dynamics of ash-rich eruptions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Nucleation of water gas bubbles in trachyphonolitic magmatic melts has been investigated integrating theory and numerical modelling with decompression experiments and analysis of natural ash samples of explosive eruptions.

Findings of marine reptilesin the Upper Cretaceous of Middle Urals

open access: yesИзвестия высших учебных заведений: Геология и разведка, 2016
The first description of the complex of bones from one individual plesiosaur marine reptile from the Upper Cretaceous deposits of the Central Urals is done; the reptiles remains of different species encountered in these sediments so far.

Foraminifera from the Campanian–Maastrichtian of the Miriri Sub-Basin, Paraíba Basin, Brazil: implications for biostratigraphy and paleoenvironmental reconstruction [PDF]

open access: yesAnais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências
This study investigates the core RT-01-PB from the Miriri Sub-Basin, Paraíba Basin, analyzing planktic and benthic foraminifera from the upper Campanian to lower Maastrichtian. The strata belong to the Itamaracá and Gramame formations. Lithostratigraphic,

Osteological correlates of the respiratory and vascular systems in the neural canals of Mesozoic ornithurines Ichthyornis and Janavis

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract In birds, the neural canal houses a variety of anatomical structures including the spinal cord, meninges, spinal vasculature, and respiratory diverticula. Among these, paramedullary diverticula and the extradural dorsal spinal vein may leave behind osteological correlates in the form of pneumatic foramina and fossae, and a bilobed geometry of ...

Planktonic foraminiferal and paleoenvironments of the Upper Campanian-Maastrichtian succession in Wadi Qena, Egypt

open access: yesEgyptian Journal of Petroleum, 2019
Quantitative analysis of the Upper Campanian-Maastrichtian foraminiferal assemblages in Hawashiya and Umm Omeiyied exposed sections at Wadi Qena, Eastern Deseret, Egypt is reconstructed to study the paleoenvironments and relative sea level changes.

New craniodental materials of Falcarius utahensis (Theropoda: Therizinosauria) reveal patterns of intraspecific variation and cranial evolution in early coelurosaurians

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite documented ecomorphological shifts toward an herbivorous diet in several coelurosaurian lineages, the evolutionary tempo and mode of these changes remain poorly understood, hampered by sparse cranial materials for early representatives of major clades. This is particularly true for Therizinosauria, with representative crania best known

The First Side-Necked Turtle (Pleurodira, Bothremydidae) from the Campanian (Late Cretaceous) of Egypt

open access: yesDiversity, 2023
The Quseir Formation is an Upper Cretaceous (Campanian) deposit in the Kharga oasis of the Southwestern Desert (Egypt). This formation comprises a clastic sequence of bioturbated mudstone and sandstone intercalations, including rare scattered and ...
