Late Maastrichtian carbon isotope stratigraphy and cyclostratigraphy of the Newfoundland Margin (Site U1403, IODP Expedition 342) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Earth’s climate during the Maastrichtian (latest Cretaceous) was punctuated by brief warming and cooling episodes, accompanied by perturbations of the global carbon cycle.

An ontological morphological phylogenetic framework for living and extinct ray‐finned fishes (Actinopterygii)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The ray‐finned fishes include one out of every two species of living vertebrates on Earth and have an abundant fossil record stretching 380 million years into the past. The division of systematic knowledge of ray‐finned fishes between paleontologists working on extinct animals and neontologists studying extant species has obscured the ...

Widespread mermithid nematode parasitism of Cretaceous insects

open access: yeseLife, 2023
Mermithid nematodes are obligate invertebrate parasites dating back to the Early Cretaceous. Their fossil record is sparse, especially before the Cenozoic, thus little is known about their early host associations.

Histology and fossil diagenesis of a pterosaur tooth from the Crato Formation (Lower Cretaceous of Brazil)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Pterosaur dental biology remains poorly understood despite its importance for comprehending feeding strategies and flight adaptations. Here, we present the first comprehensive histological analysis of an ornithocheiriform pterosaur tooth from the Lower Cretaceous Crato Formation (Santana Group, Northeast Brazil).

Early Cenozoic denudation of central west Britain in response to transient and permanent uplift above a mantle plume [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Upwelling mantle plumes beneath continental crust are predicted to produce difficult to quantify, modest uplift and denudation. The contribution of permanent and transient components to the uplift is also difficult to distinguish.

The cranial, mandibular, and hyoid anatomy of softshell turtles (Trionychidae): A revised character list for phylogenetic analysis

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Softshell turtles (Pan‐Trionychidae) are an early branching clade of hidden‐necked turtles (Cryptodira) with a rich fossil record extending back to the Early Cretaceous. The evolutionary history of softshell turtles is still unresolved because of their conservative morphology combined with high levels of polymorphism related to morphological ...

Palaeomagnetic and geochronologic results from lower cretaceous volcanics of the western Qiangtang terrane and implications for the Lhasa-Qiangtang collision

open access: yesScientific Reports
The Lhasa-Qiangtang collision is key to understanding the formation and evolution of the Tibetan Plateau; however, the precise timing of this event remains hotly debated.

PALYNOLOGY EVIDENCES OF HITHERTO UNRECOGNISED JURASSIC SEDIMENTATION IN RAJMAHAL BASIN, INDIA

open access: yesRivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2004
In Rajmahal Basin the Upper Gondwana (Mesozoic) sequences are represented by the Dubrajpur and Rajmahal Formations. Palynologically, the Dubrajpur Formation is shown to be a time transgressive unit spanning from Early Triassic to Early Cretaceous. Out of

Neotethyan Ankara Melange, central Turkey: Formation by accretion of seamounts and supra-subduction zone ophiolites in an oceanic fore-arc setting

open access: yesJournal of Asian Earth Sciences: X, 2023
The Neotethyan Ankara Melange is a global reference for oceanic accretionary processes preserved in a collisional orogen. Here we show, based on eight representative outcrops around Ankara, that the melange encompasses stratigraphically coherent volcanic-
