Diversity of Triconodonts in the Middle Jurassic of Great Britain

چکیده
We describe a range of triconodont mammalian teeth from the Forest Marble (Middle Jurassic) of Kirtlington Quarry (Oxfordshire), Watton Cliff, and Swyre (both Dorset), and demonstrate the presence of a variety of morganucodontans, including Morganucodon tardus sp. n., Cherwellia leei gen. et sp. n., and Stylidens hookeri gen. et sp. n. “Amphilestidae” are represented by three species, Phascolotherium simpsoni sp. n., P. cf. bucklandi, and Amphilestes cf. A. broderipii, as well as by upper molars referable to Phascolotherium. Gobiconodontidae and Triconodontidae are represented by, respectively, Gobiconodon bathoniensis sp. n., and Eotriconodon sophron gen. et sp. n.

Analysis of benthic foraminiferal assemblages was performed in Callovian deposits of the Farsian Formation Northeastern Alborz; Iran. The sequence of Callovian at the Goznawwi area consists mainly of soft marls , which contain high-diversity calcareous assemblages. In this foraminiferal succession nine morphogroups were differentiated according to shell architecture (general shape, mode of coil...

متن کاملSource and diagenesis of Middle Jurassic marine mudstones, Kopet-Dagh Basin, NE Iran
Middle Jurassic fluvio-deltaic and turbiditic mudstones of the Kashafrud Formation, are important hydrocarbon sources in the gas-rich Kopet-Dagh Basin, northeast Iran. Clay mineral assemblages are important for interpretation of sediment provenance and for understanding burial diagenetic cementation in sandstones. The clay mineral assemblages in mudrocks in two areas, Saleh-Abad and Senjedak, w...
