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.

Reptile-like physiology in Early Jurassic stem-mammals. [PDF]
Abstract There is uncertainty regarding the timing and fossil species in which mammalian endothermy arose, with few studies of stem-mammals on key aspects of endothermy such as basal or maximum metabolic rates, or placing them in the context of living vertebrate metabolic ranges.

Early Jurassic silicified woods from Carapace Nunatak, South Victoria Land, Antarctica [PDF]
The Jurassic vegetation of Antarctica remains poorly known and, while there have been several reports of large fossil trees from that time period across the continent, detailed anatomical studies of their wood are extremely scarce.

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

Strontium isotopes in Early Jurassic seawater
Abstract The analysis of well-preserved, well-dated belemnites and oysters from the Jurassic of Great Britain has resulted in a well-constrained, detailed seawater strontium isotope curve for the Early Jurassic. The preservation of fossil low-Mg calcite was monitored using Mn, Fe, δ 13 C , and δ 18 O .
