Dimorphism in Late Cretaceous ammonites— evidence from early Turonian ammonite faunas of the Brießnitz Formation in Saxony, Germany [PDF]
Systematic palaeontological and biometric-statistical analyses (classical clustering and linear discriminant analysis) of statistically significant populations of three early Turonian ammonite species from offshore marls of the Brießnitz Formation ...

Permafrost in the Cretaceous supergreenhouse
AbstractEarth’s climate during the last 4.6 billion years has changed repeatedly between cold (icehouse) and warm (greenhouse) conditions. The hottest conditions (supergreenhouse) are widely assumed to have lacked an active cryosphere. Here we show that during the archetypal supergreenhouse Cretaceous Earth, an active cryosphere with permafrost existed

Mimicry in Cretaceous Bugs [PDF]
Mimicry is ubiquitous in nature, yet understanding its origin and evolution is complicated by the scarcity of exceptional fossils that enable behavioral inferences about extinct animals. Here we report bizarre true bugs (Hemiptera) that closely resemble beetles (Coleoptera) from mid-Cretaceous amber.

An anhanguerian pterodactyloid mandible from the lower Valanginian of Northern Germany, and the German record of Cretaceous pterosaurs [PDF]
The record of Cretaceous pterosaur remains from Germany is sparse. The material recovered to date includes the fragmentary holotypes of Targaryendraco wiedenrothi and Ctenochasma roemeri, as well as a few isolated pterodactyloid teeth and some ...
