Relative sea‐level change, climate variability and sediment supply exert a first‐order control on the architecture of mixed carbonate–siliciclastic shelves, yet their combined expression in fine‐grained successions with low facies diversity remains ...

The sexual dimorphism in the Tithonian, Jurassic, simoceratid ammonite Lytogyroceras [PDF]
The family Simoceratidae Spath, 1925, lumps various formsbelonging to lineages with different roots and is clearlyparaphyletic. One of its genera is Lytogyroceras Spath, 1924,which stands apart from the typical forms of the familybearing strong ribbing ...

Evolutionary Stability of the Shark Snout: Geometric Morphometrics of Ventral Facial Openings. [PDF]
Landmark‐based geometric morphometrics of 453 shark species reveal that ventral head morphology is conserved across Selachii. Morphospace and ancestral reconstructions support strong phylogenetic control and limited divergence from ancestral conditions.

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.

Revision of the Late Jurassic teleosaurid genus Machimosaurus (Crocodylomorpha, Thalattosuchia) [PDF]
Machimosaurus was a large-bodied genus of teleosaurid crocodylomorph, considered to have been durophagous/chelonivorous, and which frequented coastal marine/estuarine ecosystems during the Late Jurassic.

High-precision U–Pb ages in the early Tithonian to early Berriasian and implications for the numerical age of the Jurassic–Cretaceous boundary [PDF]
The numerical age of the Jurassic–Cretaceous boundary has been controversial and difficult to determine. In this study, we present high-precision U–Pb geochronological data around the Jurassic–Cretaceous boundary in two distinct sections from different ...

Sedimentology and hydrocarbon generation potential of middle tithonian-berriassian chia gara formation,well k-109, Kirkuk oil field, NE Iraq [PDF]
The Chia Gara Formation (M.Tithonian-Berriasian) from the well K-109 has been studied in detail sedimentologically and from hydrocarbon potentiality point of view. The studied rock samples obtained from the North Oil Company, Kirkuk.

A juvenile pleurosaurid (Lepidosauria: Rhynchocephalia) from the Tithonian of the Mörnsheim Formation, Germany. [PDF]
AbstractLate Jurassic rhynchocephalians from the Solnhofen Archipelago have been known for almost two centuries. The number of specimens and taxa is constantly increasing, but little is known about the ontogeny of these animals. The well‐documented marine taxon Pleurosaurus is one of such cases.
