The Late- Cretaceous volcanic rocks from Talesh area (western Alborz): chemical variation, crystallization condition, hygrometry and tectonic setting [PDF]
In the Talesh area (western Alborz), a thick sedimentary- volcanic association formed in a littoral- deltaic environment during the Late Cretaceous. The extrusives comprise volcanoclastics (tuffs), lava flows (pillow and massive) and basic dykes.

Comparative osteohistology of Hesperornis with reference to pygoscelid penguins: the effects of climate and behaviour on avian bone microstructure [PDF]
The broad biogeographic distribution of Hesperornis fossils in Late Cretaceous Western Interior Seaway deposits has prompted questions about whether they endured polar winters or migrated between mid- and high latitudes.
