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 ...

The first definitive Middle Jurassic atoposaurid (Crocodylomorpha, Neosuchia), and a discussion on the genus Theriosuchus [PDF]
, 2015 Atoposaurids were a clade of semiaquatic crocodyliforms known from the Late Jurassic to the latest Cretaceous. Tentative remains from Europe, Morocco, and Madagascar may extend their range into the Middle Jurassic.
