A latest Cretaceous to earliest Paleogene dinoflagellate cyst zonation of Antarctica, and implications for phytoprovincialism in the high southern latitudes [PDF]
, 2012 The thickest uppermost Cretaceous to lowermost Paleogene (Maastrichtian to Danian) sedimentary succession in the world is exposed on southern Seymour Island (65° South) in the James Ross Basin, Antarctic Peninsula.

Adjoint models of mantle convection with seismic, plate motion, and stratigraphic constraints: North America since the Late Cretaceous [PDF]
, 2009 We apply adjoint models of mantle convection to North America since the Late Cretaceous. The present-day mantle structure is constrained by seismic tomography and the time-dependent evolution by plate motions and stratigraphic data (paleoshorelines ...

Soft-Shelled Turtles (Trionychidae) from the Bissekty formation (Upper Cretaceous: Turonian) of Uzbekistan: Skull-Based Taxa and Probable Skull-Shell Associations [PDF]
, 2013 In this paper we describe previously unpublished trionychid turtle material, consisting of skull fragments, from the Late Cretaceous (late Turonian) Bissekty Formation of the Dzharakuduk locality in Uzbekistan.

Late Cretaceous Vicariance in Gondwanan Amphibians
PLoS ONE, 2006 Overseas dispersals are often invoked when Southern Hemisphere terrestrial and freshwater organism phylogenies do not fit the sequence or timing of Gondwana fragmentation. We used dispersal-vicariance analyses and molecular timetrees to show that two species-rich frog groups, Microhylidae and Natatanura, display congruent patterns of spatial and ...

Mesozoic and Cenozoic diktyogenese in the Lower Yangtze region
Shiyou shiyan dizhi, 2020 Three stages of metamorphic tectonic movements took place in the Lower Yangtze region due to the joint action of the Tethys and the Pacific plates from the Middle/Late Triassic to the Early/Middle Jurassic, the Late Jurassic to the Early Cretaceous, and ...

Tip dating supports novel resolutions of controversial relationships among early mammals [PDF]
, 2020 The estimation of the timing of major divergences in early mammal evolution is challenging due to conflicting interpretations of key fossil taxa. One contentious group is Haramiyida, the earliest members of which are from the Late Triassic.
