New Data on Stratigraphy and Distributions of Glendonites from the Carolinefjellet Formation (Middle Aptian–Lower Albian, Cretaceous), Western Spitsbergen [PDF]
AbstractThe Aptian deposits on Spitsbergen Island are poorly studied. Moreover, there were no published data on fossil distribution in the Aptian and Albian in the vicinity of the town of Longyearbyen. This article provides new data on ammonite-based biostratigraphy of the Carolinefjellet Formation, indicating the presence of Beds with Tropaeum ...

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.

Abstract The angiosperm pollen record from the Anfiteatro de Tico and Punta del Barco formations (Baquero Group) is reported. The relevance of these floras is that they are accurately dated as late Aptian, and one of the oldest floras southern South America with fossil angiosperms.

In the middle of the last century Gargasian strata overlying the historical stratotypic beds of the lower substage of the Aptian (Bedoulian) were still well exposed in a number of quarries that extended in a NNE-SSW trending belt from the village of ...

A tectonically-controlled forced regression occurred on the western margin of the French subalpine basin around the Aptian–Albian boundary. It nearly emptied the western part of the Vocontian Trough during the early and middle Albian.

Ornithischian dinosaurs in Southeast Asia: a review with palaeobiogeographic implications [PDF]
Ornithischian dinosaurs have been discovered in Thailand, Laos, and Malaysia. These bird-hipped herbivores remain relatively rare by comparison with saurischian dinosaurs.

Mid-Cretaceous paleoenvironmental changes in the western Tethys [PDF]
We present a continuous record of surface water temperature and fertility variations through the latest Barremian–Cenomanian interval (ca. 27 Myr) based on calcareous nannofossil abundances from the western Tethys.

Shark and ray teeth from the Hauterivian (Lower Cretaceous) of north-east England [PDF]
Sampling of hiatal horizons within the Hauterivian part of the Speeton Clay Formation of north-east England has produced teeth of several species of sharks and rays, four of which are previously unnamed.
