The postcranial skeleton ofMonolophosaurus jiangi(Dinosauria: Theropoda) from the Middle Jurassic of Xinjiang, China, and a review of Middle Jurassic Chinese theropods [PDF]
Geological Magazine, 2009 AbstractThe Middle Jurassic was a critical time in the evolution of theropod dinosaurs, highlighted by the origination and radiation of the large-bodied and morphologically diverse Tetanurae. Middle Jurassic tetanurans are rare but have been described from Europe, South America and China.

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.

Environmental distribution of Bathonian (Middle Jurassic) neoselachians in southern England [PDF]
, 2004 Within the Bathonian (Middle Jurassic) a wide range of depositional environments were present across Britain. Within this dominantly carbonate shelf setting, there is a general palaeoenvironmental transition from open marine shelf in the south of England,

The Altena Group consists mainly of dark argillaceous mudstones deposited between the Rhaetian and the Oxfordian in the Laurasian Sea, an epeiric sea on the northwestern margin of the Tethys Ocean. The group has been subdivided into the Sleen, Aalburg, Posidonia Shale, Werkendam, and Brabant formations.

MIDDLE JURASSIC NAUTILOIDEA FROM WESTERN FRANCE
Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2004 The Middle Jurassic shelf margin limestones and marly limestones of Western France yield quite numerous Nautilida. This record is here described for the first time in detail, nine genera and more than forty species, whose range rarely exceeds one or two ...

Environmental controls on the distribution of neoselachian sharks and rays within the British Bathonian (Middle Jurassic). [PDF]
, 2004 Extensive sampling from a range of facies within the Bathonian (Middle Jurassic) of southern England has allowed the palaeoenvironmental distribution of a number of taxa of neoselachian sharks and rays to be assessed.

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
