This paper presents evidence on Mesozoic inversion of basin bounding faults within the Taleqan-Gajereh-Lar Paleograben (TGLP) in Central Alborz Range. For this purpose, well documented stratigraphy data across the TGLP together with the new acquired structural data on the geometry and kinematics of the paleograben basin bounding faults are utilized. The TGLP has evolved through the Early and Mi...

kalateh ahani is located 27 km southeast of gonabad within the khorasan razavi province. the area is part of lut block. sub-volcanic monzonitic rocks intruded regional metamorphosed shemshak formation (jurassic age). magnetic susceptibility of less altered monzonitic rocks is 0.6%., as, pb and zn > 1%, au up to 150 ppb and sn = 133 ppm. the sn content of vein in the northern part of kalateh aha...

In modern conditions of high demand for oil reserves in the Russian Federation, most important region its production remains West Siberian and gas basin with target objects well studied developed Jurassic Cretaceous sediments. The degree depletion at traditional sites low exploration complex unconventional accumulations contribute to intensification prospecting activities Achimov, Bazhenov Tyum...

Two new species, Paramesosciophilodesbellus sp. n. and Paramesosciophilodesrarissima sp. n., from the Jiulongshan Formation at Daohugou Village, Inner Mongolia, China, are described in the extinct family Mesosciophilidae. Altogether seven genera with 21 species of mesosciophilids have been described from the Jurassic of Siberia and Kazakhstan, the Lower Cretaceous of Transbaikalia, and the Midd...

A complete ichthyosaur rostrum, with 124 associated teeth, was recently discovered in Laux-Montaux locality, department of Drôme, southeastern France. The associated belemnites and ammonites indicate a late Valanginian age (Neocomites peregrinus Zone, Olcostephanus nicklesi Subzone) for this fossil, which consequently represents the first diagnostic ichthyosaur ever reported from Valanginian st...

Chelonians are ectothermic, with an extensive fossil record preserved in diverse palaeoenvironmental settings: consequently, they represent excellent models for investigating organismal response to long-term environmental change. We present the first Mesozoic chelonian taxic richness curve, subsampled to remove geological/collection biases, and demonstrate that their palaeolatitudinal distribut...

Dredge samples of Upper Jurassic-lowest Cretaceous limestones were recovered from western Galicia margin. Limestones include benthic and/or planktonic assemblages, which were deposited in environments ranging from inner to outer shelf or upper slope.

In 1840, John Phillips invented the term Mesozoic, which means “Middle Animal”. The Mesozoic Era was a geological time period that lasted 180 million years and is composed of three smaller time periods, Triassic, Jurassic and the Cretaceous. The cretaceous period lasted 81 million years, which during that time there was a continual rule of dinosaurs and other reptiles, the start of flowering pl...
