Abstract The Early Cretaceous is an important time of transition in Earth history, marked by a succession oceanic anoxic events and carbon cycle perturbations that drove changes on land the ocean. need for more precise geochronologic constraints terrestrial sediments age record faunal floral transitions especially critical.

The Partizansk and Razdolnaya coal basins of Primorye, Far East Russia, contain diverse early angiosperm fossils (pollen, leaves, fruits). In this paper, we revise the previous data on angiosperms region summarize results our latest research. Age plant-bearing deposits was clarified using isotopic U-Th-Pb LA-ICP-MS U-Pb ID-TIMS methods. upper part Lipovtsy Formation is 118 ± 1.4 Ma, which corre...

For the lithostratigraphy and microbiostratigraphical studies, a stratigraphical section (named Dareh-Goshayesh) has selected and is located in southeast of Maragheh city, south of eastern Azerbaijan province in the northwest of Iran. The thickness of successions in the selected stratigraphic section is measured about 223.6 m. The mentioned studied stratigraphic section is composed of two clast...
