Jurassic tracks and HS2: a twenty‐first century journey
The biggest UK railway construction site since the nineteenth century has exposed a near‐complete time slice through the entire Jurassic succession of central England. This is yielding a wealth of stratigraphical, palaeobiological and palaeoenvironmental data that is otherwise generally poorly exposed at the present day.

Shallow-water carbonates in the Upper Jurassic of the Gorski Kotar were deposited on a carbonate ramp, in beach-barrier island-lagoonal and peritidal environments. In the continuous sequence, more than 900 m thick, several facies have been found: (A) low-

Oxford: W.J. Arkell’s coral city
The city of Oxford, in south‐central England, is partly surrounded by hills on which coral‐rich limestones crop out. The coral developments constitute small reefs and formed during a widely documented Late Jurassic (mid‐Oxfordian) warming episode, near the northern limit of reef growth at that time.

The Jurassic of Denmark and Greenland: Sequence stratigraphy of the Jurassic of the Danish Central Graben [PDF]
A sequence stratigraphic framework is established for the Jurassic of the Danish Central Graben based primarily on petrophysical log data, core sedimentology and biostratigraphic data from about 50 wells.

Velociraptorine Dromaeosaurid Teeth from the Kimmeridgian (Late Jurassic) of Germany [PDF]
Six theropod teeth from a Late Jurassic (Kimmeridgian) bone bed in Langenberg Quarry of Oker (Goslar, Germany) are identified as a new dromaeosaurid taxon, here left in open nomenclature. Direct comparison reveals that the teeth are very similar to velociraptorine dromaeosaurid teeth from the Guimarota coal mine (Late Jurassic, Portugal) and to ...

Summary A key feature of extant conifer forests is the high percentage of seeds that germinate and establish on dead wood; in some forests, this can exceed 90%. This deadwood can act as an ideal nursery for young tree species, leading to this type of seedbed being termed ‘nurse logs’.

Abstract Continental breakup involves multiple extension styles; each linked to unique structural and sedimentary processes. High‐angle, low‐angle, listric and antilistric normal faults develop at different stages and positions during rifting. The Bay of Biscay and its margins, a prototypical example of magma‐poor rifted margins during Jurassic ...

The Jurassic of Denmark and Greenland: The Upper Jurassic of Europe: its subdivision and correlation [PDF]
In the last 40 years, the stratigraphy of the Upper Jurassic of Europe has received much attention and considerable revision; much of the impetus behind this endeavour has stemmed from the work of the International Subcommission on Jurassic Stratigraphy.
