The origin and early evolution of metatherian mammals: the Cretaceous record

ZooKeys, 2014
Metatherians, which comprise marsupials and their closest fossil relatives, were one of the most dominant clades of mammals during the Cretaceous and are the most diverse clade of living mammals after Placentalia.

A new pterosaur (Pterodactyloidea: Azhdarchidae) from the Upper Cretaceous of Morocco [PDF]

, 2010
The Kem Kem beds in South Eastern Morocco contain a rich early Upper (or possibly late Lower) Cretaceous vertebrate assemblage. Fragmentary remains, predominantly teeth and jaw tips, represent several kinds of pterosaur although only one species, the ...

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 ...

Neotethyan Ankara Melange, central Turkey: Formation by accretion of seamounts and supra-subduction zone ophiolites in an oceanic fore-arc setting

Journal of Asian Earth Sciences: X, 2023
The Neotethyan Ankara Melange is a global reference for oceanic accretionary processes preserved in a collisional orogen. Here we show, based on eight representative outcrops around Ankara, that the melange encompasses stratigraphically coherent volcanic-

Island life in the Cretaceous - faunal composition, biogeography, evolution, and extinction of land-living vertebrates on the Late Cretaceous European archipelago

ZooKeys, 2015
The Late Cretaceous was a time of tremendous global change, as the final stages of the Age of Dinosaurs were shaped by climate and sea level fluctuations and witness to marked paleogeographic and faunal changes, before the end-Cretaceous bolide impact ...

The First Fossil Coelacanth from Thailand

Diversity, 2023
Mawsoniidae is a family of coelacanths restricted to the Mesozoic. During the Cretaceous, mawsoniids were mainly represented by the Mawsonia/Axelrodichthy complex, long known to be from western Gondwana only (South America and Africa).

Early Cretaceous biogeographic and oceanographic synthesis of Leg 123 (off Northwestern Australia) [PDF]

, 1992
Biogeographic observations made by Leg 123 shipboard paleontologists for Lower Cretaceous nannofossils, foraminifers, radiolarians, belemnites, and inoceramids are combined in this chapter to evaluate the paleoceanographic history of the northwestern ...

LATE CREATACEOUS-CENOZOIC SEDIMENTS OF THE BAIKAL RIFT BASIN AND CHANGING NATURAL CONDITIONS

Геодинамика и тектонофизика, 2015
The late Cretaceous-Cenozoic sediments of fossil soils and weathering crusts of the Baikal rift have been subject to long-term studies. Based on our research results, it is possible to distinguish the following litho-stratigraphic complexes which are ...
