Late Cretaceous and Danian limestone

open access: yesDanmarks 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 ...

Anatomy of Rhinochelys pulchriceps (Protostegidae) and marine adaptation during the early evolution of chelonioids [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2019
Knowledge of the early evolution of sea turtles (Chelonioidea) has been limited by conflicting phylogenetic hypotheses resulting from sparse taxon sampling and a superficial understanding of the morphology of key taxa.

Geomagnetic excursion in the late Cretaceous [PDF]

open access: yesGeophysical 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.

On the age of fossil diatoms

open access: yesActa 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 ...

Small theropod teeth from the Late Cretaceous of the San Juan Basin, northwestern New Mexico and their implications for understanding latest Cretaceous dinosaur evolution.

open access: yesPLoS 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.

A Ceratopsian Dinosaur from the Lower Cretaceous of Western North America, and the Biogeography of Neoceratopsia.

open access: yesPLoS 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 ...

Protolith age of the Altar and Carnero complexes and latest Cretaceous–Miocene deformation in the Caborca–Altar region of northwestern Sonora, Mexico

open access: yesRevista Mexicana de Ciencias Geológicas, 2019
In the Caborca–Altar area of northwest Sonora, variably deformed and metamorphosed sedimentary and volcanic rocks crop out in a northwest-southeast–trending belt (El Batamote belt) at least 70 km long.

BIOGEOGRAPHIC HISTORIES AND CHRONOLOGIES OF DERIVED IGUANODONTIANS

open access: yesPublicación 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.

Southward-Directed Subduction of the Farallon–Aluk Spreading Ridge and Its Impact on Subduction Mechanics and Andean Arc Magmatism: Insights From Geochemical and Seismic Tomographic Data

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2020
Since the initial proposal of the past existence of a southward-directed mid-ocean ridge–subduction interaction in the Andes during Late Cretaceous–Paleogene times, several studies have been devoted to uncover the tectonomagmatic evidence of this process.

Geochemical characteristics of natural gas in the hydrocarbon accumulation history, and its difference among gas reservoirs in the Upper Triassic formation of Sichuan Basin, China

open access: yesJournal of Natural Gas Geoscience, 2016
The analysis of hydrocarbon generation, trap formation, inclusion homogenization temperature, authigenic illite dating, and ESR dating were used to understand the history of hydrocarbon accumulation and its difference among gas reservoirs in the Upper ...
