A turiasaurian sauropod dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous Wealden Supergroup of the United Kingdom [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 The Jurassic/Cretaceous (J/K) boundary, 145 million years ago, has long been recognised as an extinction event or faunal turnover for sauropod dinosaurs, with many ‘basal’ lineages disappearing.

The origin and early evolution of metatherian mammals: the Cretaceous record
ZooKeys, 2014 Metatherians, which comprise marsupials and their closest fossil relatives, were one of the most dominant clades of mammals during the Cretaceous and are the most diverse clade of living mammals after Placentalia.

Ecomorphological diversification of squamates in the Cretaceous [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2021 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 ...

A new hadrosauroid dinosaur from the early late cretaceous of Shanxi Province, China. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 BackgroundThe origin of hadrosaurid dinosaurs is far from clear, mainly due to the paucity of their early Late Cretaceous close relatives. Compared to numerous Early Cretaceous basal hadrosauroids, which are mainly from Eastern Asia, only six early Late ...
