Paleoproteomics of Mesozoic Dinosaurs and Other Mesozoic Fossils [PDF]
AbstractMolecular studies have contributed greatly to our understanding of evolutionary processes that act upon virtually every aspect of living organisms. However, these studies are limited with regard to extinct organisms, particularly those from the Mesozoic because fossils pose unique challenges to molecular workflows, and because prevailing wisdom

Characteristic and petroleum geology of the Mesozoic sags of the northern Qiongdongnan Basin [PDF]
Mesozoic sags of the Qiongdongnan Basin are prospective areas for oil and gas discovery. To make petroleum breakthroughs in Mesozoic sags in the Qiongdongnan Basin, it is urgent to clarify the conditions of hydrocarbon accumulation and the favorable ...

The Osmium Isotope Signature of Phanerozoic Large Igneous Provinces
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.

Diversity of chondrostean fish Coccolepis from the Late Jurassic Solnhofen Archipelago, Southern Germany [PDF]
Late Jurassic marine vertebrates are extraordinarily well preserved in several Plattenkalk Lagerstätten in central Europe. Among them, the Solnhofen Archipelago has yielded the very rare fish Coccolepis bucklandi, which was the first fossil ...

Evolution and identity of synapsid carpal bones [PDF]
To date there is little information on carpal bone homology in late Palaeozoic and Mesozoic Synapsida. Crucial to the understanding of homology in synapsid carpal elements is the fact that different nomenclatures are used for the carpals of non ...

On the Mesozoic Ionian Basin [PDF]
SUMMARY New seismic reflection profiles of the Italian deep crust project CROP provide new insights on the structure of the Ionian sea. In spite of the Apennines and Hellenides Neogene subduction zones, two conjugate passive continental margins are preserved at the margins of the Ionian sea, along the Malta escarpment to the southwest and the Apulian ...

Petrogenesis of Mesozoic Magmatic Suites in the Jiaodong Peninsula: Implications for Crust-Mantle Interactions and Decratonization [PDF]
The North China Craton (NCC) has thick lithosphere in the Paleozoic (>200 km) but appears to be decratonized in the Mesozoic. However, the actual processes operated in the lower crust-deep mantle are still unclear.

Perinatal specimens of Maiasaura from the Upper Cretaceous of Montana (USA): insights into the early ontogeny of saurolophine hadrosaurid dinosaurs [PDF]
Perinatal specimens of hadrosaurids discovered in the late 1970’s by field crews from Princeton University were significant in providing evidence of the early ontogenetic stages in North American dinosaurs.
