New ophthalmosaurid ichthyosaurs from the European lower cretaceous demonstrate extensive ichthyosaur survival across the Jurassic–Cretaceous boundary [PDF]
Background Ichthyosauria is a diverse clade of marine amniotes that spanned most of the Mesozoic. Until recently, most authors interpreted the fossil record as showing that three major extinction events affected this group during its history: one ...

Welwitschiaceae from the Lower Cretaceous of northeastern Brazil [PDF]
Welwitschiaceae, a family in the Gnetales, is known today from only one extant species, Welwitschia mirabilis. This species is distributed in the Namibian desert, along the western coast of southern Africa, about 10 km inland from the coast. Very little is known about the fossil record of this family.

The first data on the role of rhyncholites in the process of epibiota
For the first time the role of rhyncholites in the process of epibiota has been figured out. Serpulidae inlay is detected in 39 rhyncholites of 979 specimens, representing 4% of the all studied material. This fact demonstrates that rhyncholites were used

Lower Cretaceous Lepidoptera [PDF]
LEPIDOPTERA are rare in the fossil record and, until relatively recently, most fossil butterflies and moths had been found in Tertiary deposits. Records of Lepidoptera from earlier in the fossil record have been discounted1. The first evidence of a Cretaceous lepidopteran was Mackay's description2 of the head of a caterpillar in amber (about 72 Myr BP).
