Two stratigraphic sections (Kuh-e-Rahmat and Kuh-e-Sabz) of Upper Cretaceous strata in the Interior Fars region (SW of Iran) were selected. Lower Cretaceous succession of Kuh-e-Rahmat was consisted of Dariyan, Kazhdumi Sarvak and Ilam Formations. The lower contact of the Sarvak Formation with Kazhdumi Formation is described as a transitional type whereas the upper contact of Sarvak Formation wa...

A systematic account of crinoids from the Upper Coniacian-Lower Campanian of the southwestern margin of the Holy Cross Mountains in southern Poland is presented. Seven crinoid taxa [Marsupites testudinarius (von Schlotheim), Bourgueticrinus ellipticus (Miller), Bourgueticrinus sp., I.? granosus Valette, Isocrinus? sp., Nielsenicrinus carinatus Roemer and Austinocrinus bicoronatus (von Hagenow)]...

The Campanian–Paleocene Jaworzynka Formation, a part of the Magura Nappe succession in Polish Outer Carpathians, is described terms its detailed litho- and biostratigraphy. formation stretches along marginal Siary Unit, from stratotype area Silesian Beskid Mts up to Mszana Dolna Wyspowy Mts. Its equivalent Moravskoslezske Beskydy the Czech Republic Solaň Formation. In area, displays complex str...

While centrosaurines and ceratopsids in general are abundant in the Late Campanian of northern Laramidia, they are much less commonly found in southern Laramidia. This has supported hypotheses of dinosaur provinciality and endemism in the Late Cretaceous with the delineation of at least two separate faunal zones, north and south Laramidia. There have been 12 genera of centrosaurines recognized ...

The Upper Cretaceous sedimentary succession cropping out in the Sainte-Baume Massif (Var, southeastern France) is of late Turonian to Campanian age. There, complex imbrication and rapid evolution space time shallow-marine, fluvio-deltaic lacustrine environments at front North Provence Durancian uplift occur during Santonian. Marly and/or sandy strata rich lignite remains amber grains are inters...

Three drivers of subsidence are recognized in the Western Interior Basin: Mesozoic–early Cenozoic flexure adjacent to thin-skinned, eastward propagating Sevier Orogeny, Late Cretaceous–Eocene associated with thick-skinned Laramide Uplifts and Cretaceous dynamic subsidence. This study combines outcrop lithofacies, palaeocurrent measurements, detrital zircon geochronology, biostratigraphy, strati...
