Late Cretaceous and Danian limestone
Danmarks Geologiske Undersøgelse Serie B, 1982 At the termination of the Early Cretaceous period, the sea transgressed large earlier land areas. The transgression, the reduced relief of the continents, the generally diminished tectonic activity, the climatic change, and the enormous production of calcareous nannoplankton in the oceans profoundly changed the gross facies pattern in the North Sea ...

Acta Palaeobotanica, 2015 The finding of fossil freshwater diatoms in late Cretaceous chert in Mexico suggests - together with all the discoveries of fossil freshwater diatoms known from positions older than the Cretaceous - that the extinct marine Cretaceous diatom taxa cannot ...

The first iguanian lizard from the Mesozoic of Africa [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2016 The fossil record shows that iguanian lizards were widely distributed during the Late Cretaceous. However, the biogeographic history and early evolution of one of its most diverse and peculiar clades (acrodontans) remain poorly known.

Geomagnetic excursion in the late Cretaceous [PDF]
Geophysical Journal International, 1983 Summary. Two sedimentary cores from the western Pacific display a palaeomagnetic record of the late Cretaceous long normal interval and the boundary reversed interval corresponding to seafloor spreading anomalies 33-34. Near the young end of this reversed interval, a systematic excursion of inclinations is observed in both cores.

PLoS ONE, 2014 The fossil record for neoceratopsian (horned) dinosaurs in the Lower Cretaceous of North America primarily comprises isolated teeth and postcrania of limited taxonomic resolution, hampering previous efforts to reconstruct the early evolution of this ...

PLoS ONE, 2014 Studying the evolution and biogeographic distribution of dinosaurs during the latest Cretaceous is critical for better understanding the end-Cretaceous extinction event that killed off all non-avian dinosaurs.

BIOGEOGRAPHIC HISTORIES AND CHRONOLOGIES OF DERIVED IGUANODONTIANS
Publicación Electrónica de la Asociación Paleontológica Argentina, 2015 The geographic distributions, chronology, and phylogenetic relationships of derived iguanodontians describe a biogeographic history of active intercontinental dispersal, which is tested via comparison with eustatic sea level fluctuations.

First Late Cretaceous ichthyofauna from the Kababish Formation and its paleoenvironmental significance and paleogeographic implications [PDF]
Fossil RecordThis study documents the first record of a fossil fish assemblage from the Upper Cretaceous Kababish Formation of north-central Sudan, associated with the dyrosaurid crocodyliform Brachiosuchus kababishensis.
