Taxonomy and paleobiogeography of some Late Cretaceous desmoceratine ammonoids from the northwest Pacific province

open access: yesActa Palaeontologica Polonica
Taxonomy of the Late Cretaceous desmoceratine ammonoid genus “Damesites” and allied taxa is revised and updated based on newly collected population samples from the Yezo Group, Hokkaido, Japan, together with their type specimens.

The Turonian stage and substage boundaries

open access: yes, 2016
Formal definitions of the Cenomanian-Turonian and lower-middle Turonian boundaries are proposed, following discussions at the Second International Symposium on Cretaceous Stage Boundaries, held in Brussels, 8-16 September 1995. The Global boundary Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP, "golden spike") for the Cenomanian-Turonian boundary should be placed ...

Fish remains (Elasmobranchii, Actinopterygii) from the Late Cretaceous of the Benue Trough, Nigeria [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
International audienceSelachian and ray-finned fish remains from various Late Cretaceous localities of Nigeria are described. Each locality has yielded only a very few specimens and the diversity is therefore very low. However, some taxa are recorded for

Turonian biostratigraphy in a part of Southwestern Bulgaria

open access: yesGeologica Balcanica, 1996
A succession of outcrops in the region west of the town of Breznik has brought new biostratigraphic results concerning the Turonian Stage in the area. Integrated vertical distribution of ammonites, foraminifers, dinoflagellate cysts, pollen and spores is proposed for the first time in Bulgaria.

ENHYDROSS: A New Mechanistic Model Supports the Trans‐Oceanic Dispersal Capability of Terrestrial Vertebrates

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
We introduce ENHYDROSS, a new mechanistic model that uses optimal swimming speed and minimum cost of transport to estimate maximum dispersal distances and durations for vertebrates, enabling assessment of long‐distance oceanic dispersal potential. Applied to a range of extant and extinct animals, the model's estimates generally align with observed data;

Depositional Facies, Sequence Stratigraphy, and Diagenesis of Lower Cretaceous Carbonate Reservoir, Southern Iraq: Implications for Petroleum Exploration

open access: yesJournal of Petroleum Geology, Volume 49, Issue 2, Page 312-345, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The Lower Cretaceous Yamama Formation of southern Iraq represents a key carbonate reservoir within Iraq and the Middle East, yet its complex depositional facies architecture and diagenetic alterations present challenges for predicting reservoir quality.

The effect of early diagenetic processes on the quantification of fossil micrometeorite abundance and flux in the geological record

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 4, Page 551-564, April 2026.
Abstract Fossil micrometeorites (MMs) recovered from lithified sedimentary rocks, particularly iron‐rich (I‐type) cosmic spherules (CSs) provide valuable insights into past dust‐forming events. Their abundances, when combined with estimates of local sedimentation rates can be used to reconstruct the flux of extraterrestrial dust.

Chukhonastovka – the reference section of the Turonian-Lower Santonian from the Volga-Ilovlya interfluve (the Volga right bank area near Volgograd). Paper 2. Characteristics of the Oryctocomplexes [PDF]

open access: yesИзвестия Саратовского университета. Новая серия: Серия Науки о Земле
A representative complex of the Turonian-Santonian carbonate-producing invertebrates has been revealed. It comprised benthic foraminifers, diverse echinoderms, brachiopods, calcareous and siliceous sponges.

3D Quantification of Subsidence During Pyrenean Retro‐Wedge Initiation: Role of Structural and Thermal Inheritance on Hyperextended Margin Inversion (Aquitaine Basin)

open access: yesTerra Nova, Volume 38, Issue 2, Page 130-140, April 2026.
ABSTRACT We present novel 3D subsidence data enabling vertical movements' quantification during the early formation of the Pyrenean retro‐wedge. From Cenomanian to Turonian times, subsidence is relatively low (~26 ± 10 m/Myr), corresponding to a brief 10 Myr thermal re‐equilibration of the European lithosphere following the hyperextended rift episode ...

Study of Sea level changes with Leckie method of the Abderaz Formation (Middle Turonian-Early Campanian) at type section based on foraminifera [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
In this research the Abderaz Formation at its type section with an age of Turonian-early Campanian and a thickness of 300 m containing.light grey shale and marls was investigated.
