Middle Aptian Orbitolinid limestones in Belgrade (Serbia): microfacies and depositional environment
Lower Cretaceous (Aptian) shallow-marine limestones with intercalated polymictic conglomerates were investigated with respect to their biostratigraphic age and their microfacies. They are the younger part of the generally carbonate-siliciclastic Lower Cretaceous deep-water (max. few hundred metres) turbiditic sequences (“Paraflysch”) of the so-called

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.

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.

Migration Routes of the Aptian to Turonian Ostracod Assemblages from North Africa and the Middle East [PDF]
Quantitative paleobiogeography is a powerful tool for detecting the migration routes of microfossils. This is factual and applicable when we select appropriate analyses for proper problems in the following manner. The quantitative study of 43 selected ostracod species (total of 136 species) from 11 countries of North Africa and the Middle East led to ...

Taxonomic diversity dynamics of early cretaceous brachiopods and gastropods in the Azerbaijanian domains of the Lesser Caucasus (Neo-Tethys Ocean) [PDF]
Palaeontological data available from the Azerbaijanian domains (Somkhit-Agdam, Sevan-Karabakh, and Miskhan-Kafan tectonic zones) of the Lesser Caucasus permit reconstruction of the regional taxonomic diversity dynamics of two groups of Early ...

Abstract A low relief middle Aptian (Gargasian) reef built by platy corals is described from the Lower Cretaceous succession of the Resiţa–Moldova Noua zone (Southern Carpathians, SW Romania). Two coral-bearing units, 16–17 and 38–42 m thick, discontinuously cover ca. 1100 m. This is an unusually thick fossil reef to be built by platy corals.

Evidence of early Aptian Oceanic Anoxic Event 1a (OAE1a) in the Central Kopet-Dagh (Qaleh-Zoo section), with special reference to the calcareous nannofossil assemblages [PDF]
In the current study, a succession from the middle part of the Sarcheshmeh Formation was investigated to record the early Aptian oceanic anoxic event 1a (OAE1a) at the Qaleh-Zoo section in the central part of the Kopet-dagh Basin.

Abstract Pterosaur dental biology remains poorly understood despite its importance for comprehending feeding strategies and flight adaptations. Here, we present the first comprehensive histological analysis of an ornithocheiriform pterosaur tooth from the Lower Cretaceous Crato Formation (Santana Group, Northeast Brazil).

Ore content of Avramivske and Zakhidne deposits (Novomyrhorod gabbro-anorthosite massif)
The geological structure and ore content of the Avramivske and Zakhidne phosphate-titanium deposits located in the southern part of the Korsun-Novomyrhorod pluton are characterized. Within these deposits, phosphate-titanium mineralization is contained in
