TL;DR: Hollick and Jeffrey as mentioned in this paper described two silicified fossil wood from outcrops of the Cerro Fortaleza Formation (Campanian, Upper Cretaceous) in Los Hornos Hill, Santa Cruz Province, Argentina.

TL;DR: The Hauterivian-Aptian aged Isachsen Formation at Glacier Fiord, Axel Heiberg Island, in the Sverdrup Basin of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago was deposited contemporaneous with initiation of the High Arctic Large Igneous Province (HALIP) as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors examined 2084 specimens representing 49 species/morphotypes of which 21 are angiosperms of Austrobaileyales, Chloranthales, Laurales, Magnoliales, and Eurosidae.

TL;DR: Holopsenellinae from mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber has been described for the first time as discussed by the authors , and three new species, H. antiqua sp. nov., H. burmitica sp., and H. gothica sp, have been described.

TL;DR: Aerotitan sudamericanus is a match for an azhdarchid lower jaw, being extremely similar to that of Mistralazhdarcho in the phylogenetic analysis.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the origin of rock salt based on elemental compositions and boron isotope analyses in the southwestern part of the Khorat Basin in Thailand.

TL;DR: The Punta del Barco Formation is the uppermost unit of the upper Aptian continental deposits of the Baquero Group, cropping out in Argentinian Patagonia as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, a palynological analysis of core and cuttings samples from successions assigned to the Biyadh Formation of Saudi Arabia in the Arabian Gulf (eastern margin of northern Gondwana) revealed diverse and well-preserved assemblages including bryophyte and fern spores, gymnosperm and flowering plant pollen, dinocysts, and acritarchs.

TL;DR: In this article , a partial braincase of a diplodocid sauropod (MMCh-Pv-232) was recovered from the Bajada Colorada Formation (Berriasian-Valanginian).

TL;DR: In this article, a four-step model for insect fossil preservation is proposed, with the capture, protection, creation of the microbial sarcophagus, and mineralization of the organic remains mediated by microbial mats.

TL;DR: A new extinct genus of the Diptera family Therevidae is described from the Lower Cretaceous Crato Formation of Northeastern Brazil, bringing light on the minimum age of therevoids, and falsifies current biogeographical hypotheses standing for a North American origin of the family therevidae.

TL;DR: Aerotitan sudamericanus, from the Upper Cretaceous of the Neuquén Basin (Patagonia, Argentina) is known from a partial jaw fragment which has been interpreted as either an azhdarchid upper jaw, or thalassodromine upper jaw as discussed by the authors .

TL;DR: The early development of the carpus may be reconstructed from the morphological details of its ultimate constituents as mentioned in this paper , which may fill the gap in the evolutionary sequence between Paleozoic temnospondyl amphibians and modern frogs.

TL;DR: The morphological similarities of the braincase and endocast to other diplodocids reinforce the tentative assignation of MMCh-Pv-232 to Leinkupal, and expands the knowledge in neuroanatomy of South American sauropods.

TL;DR: In this paper , a four-step model for insect fossil preservation is proposed, with the capture, protection, creation of the microbial sarcophagus, and mineralization of the organic remains mediated by microbial mats.

TL;DR: Phuwiangvenator yaemniyomi is a mid-sized, early branching megaraptoran theropod from the Lower Cretaceous Sao Khua Formation of Phu Wiang Mountain, Khon Kaen Province, northeastern Thailand as discussed by the authors .

TL;DR: In this article , the upper Aptian planktonic foraminifera assemblages recorded in the post-salt section of the Santos, Campos and Espírito Santo Brazilian marginal basins are described and interpreted in terms of biostratigraphy and relative ages.

TL;DR: Genibatrachus may fill the gap in the evolutionary sequence of the carpus between Paleozoic temnospondyl amphibians and modern frogs, and may be reconstructed from the morphological details of its ultimate constituents.

TL;DR: An assemblage of seven silicified fossil wood from the Upper Cretaceous Bajo Barreral Formation, Chubut Province, Argentina is described in this paper .

TL;DR: The pollen described here shows a far greater diversity of species and morphologies than seen today and in the gnetalean macroremains present in the Crato Formation flora, re-emphasising the importance of the Cratos Formation as a source for both the macro-, and importantly, the micro-fossil diversity of gnetalan plants, not matched elsewhere.

TL;DR: In this article, a new Lower Cretaceous palynoflora from the Lusitanian Basin, located in the westernmost sector of the Iberian Peninsula, was described.

TL;DR: In this article , a new Lower Cretaceous palynoflora from the Lusitanian Basin, located in the westernmost sector of the Iberian Peninsula, was described.

TL;DR: The Mata Amarilla Formation in western central Santa Cruz province of Argentina has yielded fragmentary teeth of a large ?docodontan, an australosphenidan, a meridiolestidan (Amarillodon meridionalis gen. et sp. nov.), and a stem dryolestid (Treslagosodon shehuensis gen.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors reported the identities of frogs from three upper Campanian-lower Maastrichtian assemblages from Chilean (Dorotea Formation) and Argentinean (Allen and Los Alamitos formations) Patagonia, with focus on humeral morphology.

TL;DR: Laiyangella zhangi gen. et sp. nov as discussed by the authors , the first planthopper from the Lower Cretaceous Laiyang formation, Shandong Province of China, is described.

TL;DR: The Punta del Barco Formation is the uppermost unit of the upper Aptian continental deposits of the Baqueró Group, cropping out in Argentinian Patagonia as discussed by the authors .

TL;DR: In this article , the authors reconstruct the late Maastrichtian vegetation and climate of the Deccan Volcanic Province (DVP), central India, and find that the vegetation prevailed under five palaeoecological associations.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors describe a new locality with ctenochasmatid pterosaurs found in a tidal estuarine paleoenvironment of the Quebrada Monardes Formation (Lower Cretaceous).

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors examined the origin of rock salt based on elemental compositions and boron isotope analyses in the southwestern part of the Khorat Basin, Thailand.
