The Late- Cretaceous volcanic rocks from Talesh area (western Alborz): chemical variation, crystallization condition, hygrometry and tectonic setting [PDF]
پترولوژی, 2020 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.

Early Cretaceous biogeographic and oceanographic synthesis of Leg 123 (off Northwestern Australia) [PDF]
, 1992 Biogeographic observations made by Leg 123 shipboard paleontologists for Lower Cretaceous nannofossils, foraminifers, radiolarians, belemnites, and inoceramids are combined in this chapter to evaluate the paleoceanographic history of the northwestern ...

Mimicry in Cretaceous Bugs [PDF]
iScience, 2020 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.

Comparative osteohistology of Hesperornis with reference to pygoscelid penguins: the effects of climate and behaviour on avian bone microstructure [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2014 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.

A reassessment of Kelmayisaurus petrolicus, a large theropod dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous of China [PDF]
, 2012 The Early Cretaceous fossil record of large-bodied theropods from Asia is poor, hindering comparison of Asian predatory dinosaur faunas with those from other continents. One of the few large Asian theropod specimens from this interval is a partial skull (
