Shallow-water carbonates in the Upper Jurassic of the Gorski Kotar were deposited on a carbonate ramp, in beach-barrier island-lagoonal and peritidal environments. In the continuous sequence, more than 900 m thick, several facies have been found: (A) low-

Evidence of macrophagous teleosaurid crocodylomorphs in the Corallian Group (Oxfordian, Late Jurassic) of the UK [PDF]
Teleosaurids were a group of semi-aquatic crocodylomorphs with a fossil record that spanned the Jurassic Period. In the UK, abundant specimens are known from the Oxford Clay Formation (OCF, Callovian to lower Oxfordian), but are very rare in the ...

The Flodigarry section at Staffin Bay, Isle of Skye, has yielded numerous ammonites both of Subboreal and Boreal affinity. This has enabled close correlation of the Subboreal and Boreal ammonite zonations, and provided new palaeontological data on levels

Petroleum geology of the Upper Jurassic – Lower Cretaceous of East and North-East Greenland: Blokelv-1 borehole, Jameson Land Basin: Late Jurassic evolution of the Jameson Land Basin, East Greenland – implications of the Blokelv-1 borehole [PDF]
Data from the recently drilled, fully cored Blokelv-1 borehole and previous cored boreholes in the Upper Jurassic of Jameson Land, central East Greenland, are integrated with published field studies to address the depositional evolution of the Jameson ...

Coupled stress-suction changes in the Callovo-Oxfordian claystone [PDF]
Some (saturated) claystones, considered as host rocks for deep radioactive waste disposal, are sensitive to drying and wetting. Wetting may result in swelling and damage during the resaturation of specimens for mechanical testing.

Stratigraphy, facies and geodynamic settings of Jurassic formations in the Bükk Mountains, North Hungary: its relations with the other areas of the Neotethyan realm. [PDF]
Jurassic mélange complexes related to the subduction of the Neotethys Ocean occur in the Bükk Mountains, North Hungary. This paper characterizes the sedimentary sequence of basin and slope facies that occur in the southwestern part of the Bükk ...

Regional settings and characteristics of an Oxfordian hot shale [PDF]
Development of predictive geological rules is vital for successful exploration and development. The “sweet spotting” concept is widely used to predict areas with better-than-average porosity and permeability. However the definition of sweet spots in unconventional plays is still an emerging concept.

The Kutch Basin of western India is famous for its rich assemblages of the Callovian–Oxfordian ammonites. The family Oppelidae Douvillé is the second most diverse ammonite group after perisphinctids during the Middle–Upper Jurassic.

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.

Stable isotope (δ18O and δ13C) sclerochronology of Callovian (Middle Jurassic) bivalves (Gryphaea (Bilobissa) dilobotes) and belemnites (Cylindroteuthis puzosiana) from the Peterborough Member of the Oxford Clay Formation (Cambridgeshire, England): Evidence of palaeoclimate, water depth and belemnite behaviour [PDF]
Incremental δ18O and δ13C signals were obtained from three well-preserved specimens of Cylindroteuthis puzosiana and from three well-preserved specimens of Gryphaea (Bilobissa) dilobotes from the Peterborough Member of the Oxford Clay Formation ...
