TLDR
In this paper, a main organic-rich interval was identified in the basal Agua de la Mula Member, dominated by marine-derived Amorphous Organic Matter (AOM), coinciding with the highest Total Organic Carbon (TOC) content, between 1.4 and 3.8% suggesting dysoxic conditions.About:

Xiphosurid trackways in a Lower Cretaceous tidal flat in Patagonia: Palaeoecological implications and the involvement of microbial mats in trace-fossil preservation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the trace fossils in detail, discuss their conditions of preservation, make palaeoecological and taphonomic inferences from them, and analyse the importance of their palaeoenvironments.

Early Cretaceous Brachyoxylon woods from Argentinean Patagonia and comments on the Cheirolepidiaceae distribution
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied fossil wood from Matasiete and Castillo Formations (Aptian-Albian) for the first time and found that they have anatomy consistent with the fossil-genus Brachyoxylon Hollick and Jeffrey.

Timing of the late Jehol Biota: New geochronometric constraints from the Jixi Basin, NE China
Dongxu Chen,Dongxu Chen,Fengqi Zhang,Yuntao Tian,Zhonghe Zhou,Yildirim Dilek,Hanlin Chen,Kefeng Zhang,Xue-Qin Zhao +8 more
TL;DR: The Jehol Biota is a world famous Early Cretaceous terrestrial ecosystem in East Asia and has revealed exceptionally well-preserved fossils which provide significant insights into the origin and evolution of birds and feathers, and the early diversifications of mammals and angiosperms as mentioned in this paper.
