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.

Late Jurassic salamandroid from western Liaoning, China [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2012 A Jurassic salamander, Beiyanerpeton jianpingensis (gen. et sp. nov.), from a recently found site in western Liaoning Province, China is the earliest known record of Salamandroidea. As a Late Jurassic record of the group, it extends the range of the clade by ~40 Ma.

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.

Palaeobiogeographical implications of the first fossil wood flora from the Jurassic of Turkey [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2022 We describe Jurassic fossilized woods from the Gümüşhane and Erzurum regions of Turkey that represent the eastern Sakarya Zone (eSZ) terrestrial biota. We collected 27 fossil wood fragments in total.

Late Jurassic–Early Cretaceous marine deoxygenation in NE Greenland [PDF]
Journal of the Geological Society, 2023 The Late Jurassic–Early Cretaceous interval represents a prolonged marine deoxygenation period particularly in the Boreal–Arctic basins, the controlling factors of which remain poorly understood. Two drill cores totalling >450 m cover the Kimmeridgian–Barremian succession in contrasting locations in an evolving half-graben system (basin
