The biostratigraphy of the Outer Carpathians is based mainly on ranges agglutinated foraminifera. Species acmes provide opportunity to enhance and support existing biozonations. Assemblages foraminifera from Campanian Eocene various tectonic-structural units were analyzed in terms their qualitative quantitative occurrence. In this stratigraphic interval, 19 species display significantly increas...

Pachycormiformes is a diverse clade of stem-teleost actinopterygian fishes with stratigraphic range from the Lower Jurassic (Toarcian) to Upper Cretaceous (Maastrichtian). The Toarcian Posidonienschiefer Formation in SW Germany records earliest occurrence †Pachycormiformes fossil record, offering unique and crucial insight into clade’s origins early adaptive radiation Early Jurassic. However, t...

Field investigation, biostratigraphic, paleoecological, and sedimentary microfacies analyses, as well diagenetic processes characterization, were carried out in the Epirus region (Western Ionian Basin) to define depositional environments further decipher history of Late Cretaceous–Early Paleocene carbonate succession western continental Greece. Planktonic foraminiferal biostratigraphy studied c...

This paper gives a detailed overview of biotic assemblages recovered from the Deccan trap intercalated sedimentary sequences (infraand intertrappean beds) of peninsular India as a result of extensive research done during the last 20 years. The infraand intertrappean beds contain remnants of Gondwanan forms such as myobatrachinae frogs, pelomedusid turtles, dinosaurs (i.e. titanosaurids and abel...

Upper Cretaceous strata of the Mahajanga Basin, northwestern Madagascar, yield some of the most significant and exquisitely preserved vertebrate fossils known from Gondwana. The sedimentology of these strata and their stratigraphic relations have been the focus of renewed geological investigations during the course of five expeditions since 1993. We here designate stratotypes and formalize the ...
