Ceratopsid (horned) dinosaurs are an iconic group of large-bodied, quadrupedal, herbivorous dinosaurs that evolved in the Late Cretaceous and were largely restricted to western North America [1-5]. Ceratopsids are easily recognized by their cranial ornamentation in the form of nasal and postorbital horns and frill (capped by epiossifications); these structures show high morphological disparity ...

The composite Albian–Eocene orogenic wedge of the northern part Inner Western Carpathians (IWC) comprises European Variscan basement with Upper Carboniferous–Triassic cover and Jurassic to Cretaceous sedimentary successions a large oceanic–continental Atlantic (Alpine) Tethys basin system. This paper presents an updated evolutionary model for principal structural units (i.e., Fatricum, Tatricum...

Abstract Reconstructing dinosaur trophic structure prior to the Cretaceous–Paleogene (K–Pg) boundary may provide information about ecosystem organization and evolution. Using calcium isotopes, we investigate preserved biogenic isotope compositions in a set of teeth from three continental formations Alberta, Canada, assess latest Cretaceous food web structure. Tooth enamel δ44/42Ca values are pr...

The research area is located in south-eastern Slovenia and belongs to the eastern extensions of Slovenian Basin adjacent Adriatic Carbonate Platform. studied section 25 m thick consists grey, brownish reddish pelagic limestones calciturbidites, two bentonite layers 110 10 cm thick. Both volcanoclastic horizons consist greenish, fine-grained muddy material. To date, no other bentonites similar a...

Three well - known source rocks of the Zagros basin and the Persian Gulf are Mesozoic in age.The Jurassic Sargelu, Albian Kazhdumi and Neocomian-Coniacian Garau formations have charged the Cretaceous reservoirs of this area. The northwest part of the Persian Gulf is strongly influenced by two major N-S trending paleohighs (Hendijan- Bahregansar-Regesafid-Izeh and Kharge- Mish) and surrounding p...
