The birth of the Sava Suture Zone: The early geological observations and the context of bimodal magmatism (southern Belgrade outskirts; Anđelković, 1973) [PDF]
Geološki Anali Balkanskoga Poluostrva, 2022 This paper presents one of the significant results of the research of Prof. Dr. Milodrag Anđelković. The study underlines the first field record providing the evidence of the Upper Cretaceous bimodal magmatism that eventually led towards the definition ...

Ecomorphological diversification of squamates in the Cretaceous [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2021 Squamates (lizards and snakes) are highly successful modern vertebrates, with over 10 000 species. Squamates have a long history, dating back to at least 240 million years ago (Ma), and showing increasing species richness in the Late Cretaceous (84 Ma ...

Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 1-26., 2021 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.

A new hadrosauroid dinosaur from the early late cretaceous of Shanxi Province, China. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 BackgroundThe origin of hadrosaurid dinosaurs is far from clear, mainly due to the paucity of their early Late Cretaceous close relatives. Compared to numerous Early Cretaceous basal hadrosauroids, which are mainly from Eastern Asia, only six early Late ...

Вестник Камчатской региональной ассоциации "Учебно-научный центр". Серия: Науки о Земле, 2023 Five tectonic-magmatic stages are distinguished in the evolution of the guyots of the Magellan Seamounts: 1 — Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous (earliest Cretaceous — ~160–140 (?) Ma); 2 — Early Cretaceous (Late Barremian(?)-Aptian-Albian — ~127–96 Ma); 3 —

A turiasaurian sauropod dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous Wealden Supergroup of the United Kingdom [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 The Jurassic/Cretaceous (J/K) boundary, 145 million years ago, has long been recognised as an extinction event or faunal turnover for sauropod dinosaurs, with many ‘basal’ lineages disappearing.

Late Maastrichtian pterosaurs from North Africa and mass extinction of Pterosauria at the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2018 Pterosaurs were the first vertebrates to evolve powered flight and the largest animals to ever take wing. The pterosaurs persisted for over 150 million years before disappearing at the end of the Cretaceous, but the patterns of and processes driving ...
