Geophysical 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.

A new basal sauropod dinosaur from the middle Jurassic of Niger and the early evolution of sauropoda. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 The early evolution of sauropod dinosaurs is poorly understood because of a highly incomplete fossil record. New discoveries of Early and Middle Jurassic sauropods have a great potential to lead to a better understanding of early sauropod evolution and ...

FIRST THEROPOD RECORD FROM THE MARINE BATHONIAN OF JAISALMER BASIN, TETHYAN COAST OF GONDWANAN INDIA
Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2023 Middle Jurassic theropods have a scanty record worldwide, especially from Gondwana. In India, where Jurassic theropods are particularly rare and only represented by a few isolated teeth and some badly preserved bones, there is currently no record of ...

Burial and thermal history simulation of the Middle Jurassic source rocks in Matruh basin, north Western Desert, Egypt [PDF]
Delta Journal of Science, 2023 The Middle Jurassic Khatatba Formation, a source rock for hydrocarbons in Egypt's Matruh basin, was modeled using geological and geochemical data from the Apidose-1X well. The 1D basin modeling helps construct burial and thermal geo-histories and predict

First diagnostic marine reptile remains from the Aalenian (Middle Jurassic): a new ichthyosaur from southwestern Germany. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 BackgroundThe Middle Jurassic was a critical time in the evolutionary history of ichthyosaurs. During this time interval, the diverse, well-studied faunas of the Lower Jurassic were entirely replaced by ophthalmosaurids, a new group that arose sometime ...

Youngest occurrences of rhomaleosaurid plesiosaurs indicate survival of an archaic marine reptile clade at high palaeolatitudes [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2015 Rhomaleosaurid plesiosaurians were a common and ecologically significant component of Early Jurassic marine faunas, primarily as large-bodied predators. They declined in abundance and made their last fossil appearance in the Middle Jurassic. However, the

Biostratigraphic boundaries of Jurassic ages [PDF]
Нефтегазовая геология: Теория и практика, 2020 From the perspective of geobiospheric history, the boundaries of the Jurassic age are considered. Eusto-migratory zoopeneplen are associated with a number of global geobiospheric events, such as mass extinctions, geochemical anomalies, and ocean anoxic ...

Scientific Reports, 2023 The Early Jurassic and Cretaceous deposits of India are known for their diverse sauropod fauna, while little is known from the Middle and Late Jurassic. Here we report the first ever remains of a dicraeosaurid sauropod from India, Tharosaurus indicus gen.
