This study reports two isolated feather fossils from the Lower Cretaceous Dabeigou Formation in northeastern China. Morphological analyses identified them as the earliest known feathered theropods (potentially including avian) in the Jehol Biota. This finding reveals a complex ecosystem at the dawn of the Jehol Biota, bridging the temporal and faunal ...

N2 influences on CH4 accumulation and displacement in shale by molecular dynamics
N2 is generally employed as a displacement agent to enhance gas recovery in shale gas-bearing reservoirs. However, the primary displacement mechanism in the subsurface still needs to be clarified due to the characteristics of shale reservoirs with low ...

Experimental investigation of hydraulic fracture propagation behavior in layered continental shale
In this study, numerous triaxial hydraulic fracturing experiments are performed in continental shale outcrop samples and artificial samples with similar properties to investigate the HF propagation behavior under single-cluster and multi-cluster fracturing treatments. The single-cluster fracturing experimental results show that the interlayer interface
