Late Jurassic Structural Deformation and Late Cenozoic Reactivation of the Southern Junggar Fold-And-Thrust Belt, NW China [PDF]

open access: goldFrontiers in Earth Science, 2021
Because of the influence of the far field effect of the collision between Euro-Asian and India plates during the Late Cenozoic, the Tian Shan orogenic belt underwent intense reactivation, forming the Southern Junggar fold-and-thrust belt (SJ-FTB) to the ...

Ecomorphospace occupation of large herbivorous dinosaurs from Late Jurassic through to Late Cretaceous time in North America [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2022
Following the Late Jurassic, megaherbivore communities in North America undergo a dramatic turnover in faunal composition: sauropods decline to the point of becoming relatively minor components of ecosystems, stegosaurs become extinct, and hadrosaurids ...

Two turtles with soft tissue preservation from the platy limestones of Germany provide evidence for marine flipper adaptations in Late Jurassic thalassochelydians. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2021
Late Jurassic deposits across Europe have yielded a rich fauna of extinct turtles. Although many of these turtles are recovered from marine deposits, it is unclear which of these taxa are habitually marine and which may be riverine species washed into ...

Provenance and tectonic settings of late Triassic–Jurassic deposits in the Southwestern Yangtze block: evidence from the geochemistry, SW China [PDF]

open access: goldScientific Reports
During the Late Triassic to Jurassic, the western Yangtze Block transitioned from marine carbonate deposits to terrestrial detrital deposits. There are different views on the orogen evolution of the western margin of the Yangtze Block, such as whether ...

Large Igneous Province Record Through Time and Implications for Secular Environmental Changes and Geological Time‐Scale Boundaries

open access: yesGeophysical 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.

Sedimentary and Source-to-Sink Evolution of Intracontinental Basins: Implications for tectonic and Climate Evolution in the Late Mesozoic (Southern Junggar Basin, NW China)

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2022
Sedimentary investigations, petrography, heavy mineral and conglomerate component analyses, and detrital zircon U-Pb geochronology were conducted to reconstruct the sedimentary and source-to-sink evolution of the Southern Junggar Basin, an ...
