Valanginian belemnites: New taxonomical and stratigraphical observations [PDF]
Six new Valanginian belemnite species (Duvalia crassa sp. nov., Duvalia elongata sp. nov., Duvalia kleini sp. nov., Duvalia superconstricta sp. nov., Castellanibelus vaubellensis sp. nov., and "Hibolithes" lebresensis sp. nov.) are described here and two species (Duvalia aff. elongata and "Hibolithes" aff. pistilliformis (BLAINVILLE, 1827)) are left in

Euthymi, Crassicostatum and Callisto ammonite subzones, correlable with Paramimounum, Picteti, and Alpillensis subzones and probably with the Late Berriasian Otopeta Subzone of the Boissieri Standard Zone have been recognized in calcareous clays of the ...

Micropaleontological observations on the Lower Cretaceous iron ore-related formations of the Mecsek Mts. (Upper Valanginian–Lower Hauterivian, South Hungary) [PDF]
The Late Valanginian–Early Hauterivian iron ore deposit and related formations at Zengővárkony (Mecsek Mts., South Hungary) provided a relatively rich microfauna of foraminifera, crustacean microcoprolites, and sponge spicules.

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.

Sr-Isotope Stratigraphy: Assigning Time in the Campanian, Pliensbachian, Toarcian, and Valanginian [PDF]
The trend of marine 87Sr/86Sr against stratigraphic level through sections, whether linear or not, can identify hiatuses and changing rates of sedimentation through those sections and so be a valuable constraint on attempts to assign numerical ages to ...

The Early Cretaceous Weissert event, characterized by a positive carbon isotope excursion and coincident with the Paraná‐Etendeka volcanism, saw a biogeochemical chain of events that ultimately led to an increase in carbon burial.

Valanginian climate cooling and environmental change driven by Paraná-Etendeka basalt erosion
The Valanginian Weissert Event (ca. 134.5 Ma) has long been linked to emplacement of the Paraná-Etendeka large igneous province (LIP). Although several Mesozoic crises were triggered by volcanic CO2 emissions and global warming, causing oceanic oxygen ...

The stepwise rise of angiosperm-dominated terrestrial ecosystems. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Angiosperms are the most diverse and abundant plant taxon today and dominate the majority of Earth's terrestrial ecosystems. They underwent rapid divergence and biogeographic expansion from the early to the middle Cretaceous. Yet, transformative ecosystem change brought about by the increased ecological dominance of angiosperms unfolded ...
