This study represents a detailed analysis of a stratigraphic section of Oxfordian (Late Jurassic) age with the aim to reconstruct the facies pattern and sequence‐stratigraphic evolution, followed by a discussion of the dominant controls on shallow marine

Phanerozoic Large Igneous Province, Petroleum System, and Source Rock Links
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.

Habitat Availability, Jurassic and Cretaceous Origins of the Deep-Bodied Shark Morphotype and the Rise of Pelagic Sharks. [PDF]
We find support for a benthic origin of sharks, with four discrete transitions towards pelagic‐type morphology occurring during the Jurassic and Cretaceous. Increased habitat availability driven by biotic and abiotic environmental change may have driven shifts towards pelagic‐type morphology. These results may help explain discordance between molecular

Poroelasticity of the Callovo–Oxfordian Claystone [PDF]
This work is devoted to an experimental investigation of the poroelastic behavior of the Callovo–Oxfordian claystone, a potential host rock for the deep underground repository of high-level radioactive waste in France. Drained, undrained, pore pressure loading and unjacketed tests were carried out in a specially designed isotropic compression cell to ...

Trachyteuthis covacevichi n. sp., a Late Jurassic Palaeopacific coleoid cephalopod [PDF]
A new early Oxfordian coleoid cephalopod, Trachyteuthis covacevichi n. sp., is described from northern Chile. It represents the first Late Jurassic Palaeopacific vampyropod and thus considerably extends the palaeogeographic distribution of trachyteuthids.

New findings of rhyncholites in the Middle and Upper Jurassic of Crimea
Until now thefindingsof rhyncholites from the Jurassic marine sediments of Crimea were very scarce. In both the Oxfordian and Kimmeridgian of Crimea, rhyncholites were never found despite the fact that in Western and Central Europe they are very numerous

Environmental and climatic proxies for the Cañadón Asfalto and Neuquén basins (Patagonia, Argentina): review of middle to upper jurassic continental and near coastal sequences [PDF]
In this review, we include several proxies (sedimentology, palynology, invertebrates) from the Cañadón Asfalto and Neuquén basins, to infer the environments and regional climatic context during the Middle to Late Jurassic of Patagonia.

Coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical behaviour of a deep clay [PDF]
An experimental study on Ypresian clays –one of the potential deep formations in Belgium for the geological disposal of heat-emitting radioactive waste– was undertaken to systematically study its thermal properties and coupled hydro-mechanical response ...
