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 turiasaurian sauropod dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous Wealden Supergroup of the United Kingdom [PDF]
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.

PALYNOLOGY EVIDENCES OF HITHERTO UNRECOGNISED JURASSIC SEDIMENTATION IN RAJMAHAL BASIN, INDIA
In Rajmahal Basin the Upper Gondwana (Mesozoic) sequences are represented by the Dubrajpur and Rajmahal Formations. Palynologically, the Dubrajpur Formation is shown to be a time transgressive unit spanning from Early Triassic to Early Cretaceous. Out of

Mesozoic and Cenozoic diktyogenese in the Lower Yangtze region
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 ...

Late Jurassic selachians (Chondrichthyes, Elasmobranchii) from southern Germany: Re-evaluation on taxonomy and diversity [PDF]
The record and taxonomy of Late Jurassic selachians from southern Germany is reviewed and discussed. The conservation lagerstätten of Nusplingen and the Solnhofen area are outstanding because they yielded numerous entire skeletons.

Middle – Late Jurassic (Late Bathonian – Tithonian) Palynomorphs
Abstract. INTRODUCTIONJurassic palynomorph assemblages have been recovered in numerous wells in northeast Libya. Jurassic rocks reflect changing sedimentary environments which have greatly influenced the composition of the palynological assemblages.In the northernmost area, Jurassic sediments unconformably overlie the Palaeozoic or Triassic and show a ...

The postcranial skeleton of monolophosaurus jiangi (dinosauria: Theropoda) from the Middle Jurassic of Xinjiang, China, and a review of Middle Jurassic Chinese theropods [PDF]
The Middle Jurassic was a critical time in the evolution of theropod dinosaurs, highlighted by the origination and radiation of the large-bodied and morphologically diverse Tetanurae.

Reflux stratabound dolostone and hydrothermal volcanism- associated dolostone: a two-stage dolomitization model (Jurassic, Lebanon) [PDF]
The Kesrouane Formation, which is characterized by pervasive dolomitization, has a stratigraphic thickness that exceeds 1000 m. It is part of a broad carbonate platform deposited in the Levant region and represents 60% of the Lebanese Jurassic rocks. Two
