On the Cretaceous Dentaliidæ [PDF]
I n this paper are described and grouped the shells of the family Dentaliidæ which have been obtained from the Cretaceous rocks of Great Britain. It includes all the forms I know of; but there may be in local museums and private collections specimens I have not seen. In the genus

Investigating bio-events and time expansion of Calcareous nannofossils in the upper part of the Gurpi Formation and lower part of the Pabdeh Formation, northwestern Shiraz [PDF]
In this study, calcareous nannofossils are investigated in the upper part of the Gurpi Formation and lower part of the Pabdeh Formation at the Par-e Nobar section located in the northwest of Shiraz. The thickness of the studied section is about 41 m. The

Ecomorphological diversification of squamates in the Cretaceous [PDF]
Squamates (lizards and snakes) are highly successful modern vertebrates, with over 10 000 species. Squamates have a long history, dating back to at least 240 million years ago (Ma), and showing increasing species richness in the Late Cretaceous (84 Ma) and Early Palaeogene (66–55 Ma). We confirm that the major expansion of dietary functional morphology

THE President of the Linnean Society having been good enough to credit me, in the interesting address which has just appeared in NATURE, with the doctrine that the formation of chalk has been going on continuously over some part of the North Atlantic sea-bed from the Cretaceous epoch to the present time, I feel it due to my friend and colleague, Prof ...

This paper uses a numerical landscape evolution model to reconstruct the topographic history of Madagascar since the Late Cretaceous. The model is optimised by balancing the volumes of onshore erosion and offshore sedimentation; the former is predicted with erosion laws and based on uplift history inferred from elevated planation surfaces.

Abstract The effects of the Younger Dryas (YD) fluctuation on Late Pleistocene hunter‐gatherers' settlement and subsistence systems in the southern Alps are poorly known. This is primarily due to the scarcity of archaeological sites dating from the YD, in contrast with the extensive evidence available from the lateglacial interstadial and the early ...

Late Mesozoic marine Antarctic fishes: future perspectives based on the newly collections recovered in the Ameghino and López de Bertodano Formations [PDF]
Nowadays, notothenioids are the teleostean group that dominates marine Antarctic waters. However, during the Mesozoic a diverse ichthyofauna inhabited the sea that surrounded Antarctic.
