Early Cretaceous angiosperms and beetle evolution [PDF]
The Coleoptera (beetles) constitute almost one-fourth of all known life-forms on earth. They are also among the most important pollinators of flowering plants, especially basal angiosperms.

South Atlantic paleobathymetry since early Cretaceous [PDF]
We present early Cretaceous to present paleobathymetric reconstructions and quantitative uncertainty estimates for the South Atlantic, offering a strong basis for studies of paleocirculation, paleoclimate and paleobiogeography.

Early Cretaceous lepidosaur (sphenodontian?) burrows. [PDF]
AbstractScarce fossil tetrapod burrows have been recorded in Cretaceous rocks, which is probably linked to the dominant equable climates that existed for most of this period. The occurrence of Cretaceous tetrapod burrows from Patagonia (Chubut Province, Argentina) dated between 118 and 115 million years ago, gives insights into their paleoecology and ...

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Helminth eggs from early cretaceous faeces. [PDF]
AbstractThe exceptional fossil site of Las Hoyas (upper Barremian, Cuenca, Spain) yields abundant small to medium vertebrate coprolites, hindering the search for parasites. We studied the contents of 29 coprolites that were previously classified into distinct morphotypes.

Glaciations at high-latitude Southern Australia during the Early Cretaceous
Stratigraphic investigations, supported by palynological dating, detrital zircon and monazite dating, and quartz grain micromorphology were undertaken of the Early Cretaceous strata around the southern margin of the Eromanga Basin where they onlap older ...

Tectono-sedimentary evolution of the NE Dinarides margin during the Cretaceous Adria-Europe convergence [PDF]
The Cretaceous sedimentation along the NE Dinarides margin occurred in basins above the Europe-dipping Neotethyan Sava subduction zone positioned between Adria- and Europe-derived continental units.
