New ophthalmosaurid ichthyosaurs from the European lower cretaceous demonstrate extensive ichthyosaur survival across the Jurassic–Cretaceous boundary [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Background Ichthyosauria is a diverse clade of marine amniotes that spanned most of the Mesozoic. Until recently, most authors interpreted the fossil record as showing that three major extinction events affected this group during its history: one ...

Lithocodium and Bacinella signature of a late Hauterivian, local microbial event: the Urgonian limestone in South-East France

open access: yesGeologia Croatica, 2008
Sediment binding crusts of Lithocodium aggregatum and associated Bacinella irregularis abound in a shallow water limestone layer, in South-East France.

Exhumation of the Sierra de Cameros (Iberian Range, Spain): constraints from low-temperature thermochronology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We present new fission-track and (U–Th)/He data from apatite and zircon in order to reconstruct the exhumation of the Sierra de Cameros, in the northwestern part of Iberian Range, Spain. Zircon fission-track ages from samples from the depocentre of the

The Stratigraphic Record of Pre-breakup Geodynamics: Evidence from the Barrow Delta, offshore Northwest Australia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The structural and stratigraphic evolution of rift basins and passive margins has been widely studied, with many analyses demonstrating that delta systems can provide important records of post-rift geodynamic processes.

Eocene Limestones Overlying Lower Cretaceous Deposits of Western lstria (Croatia): Did Some Parts of Present lstria Form Land During the Cretaceous?

open access: yesGeologia Croatica, 2010
In the region of the western Istrian anticline, erosional remains of the transgressive Eocene Foraminiferal limestones overly shallow waterdeposits of Early Cretaceous age (Valanginian, Hauterivian andBarremian).

Sea surface temperature contributes to marine crocodylomorph evolution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
During the Mesozoic and Cenozoic, four distinct crocodylomorph lineages colonized the marine environment. They were conspicuously absent from high latitudes, which in the Mesozoic were occupied by warm-blooded ichthyosaurs and plesiosaurs.

A new coral family and three new genera from the Lower Cretaceous of Puebla and Sonora (Scleractinia; Mexico)

open access: yesRevista Mexicana de Ciencias Geológicas, 2022
Solitary corals currently assigned to the genus Plesiosmilia are common elements in Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous coral faunas. The genus itself is poorly defined and its systematic position is questionable.

Filling the Gap: New Precise Early Cretaceous Radioisotopic Ages from the Andes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Two tuffs in the Lower Cretaceous Agrio Formation, Neuquén Basin, provided U–Pb zircon radioisotopic ages of 129.09 ± 0.16 Ma and 127.42 ± 0.15 Ma.

The magnetic polarity stratigraphy of a Hauterivian/Barremian carbonate sequence from southern Italy [PDF]

open access: yesGeophysical Journal International, 1998
SUMMARY Remanence directions, measured at 2 cm intervals along a composite 88 m bore-core, enable mean palaeomagnetic poles to be defined at 13.6°S, 25.2°W and 13.6°N, 154.8°E. The directions of remanence vary very smoothly away from each palaeomagnetic pole, extending more than 90° from them.
