Middle Jurassic theropods have a scanty record worldwide, especially from Gondwana. In India, where are particularly rare and only represented by few isolated teeth some badly preserved bones, there is currently no of the western India. Here we report first theropod dental material marine carbonate rocks Jaisalmer Basin, north-western The specimen consists an incomplete shed tooth crown recover...

Albanerpetontids are an extinct clade of superficially salamander-like lissamphibians that range from the Middle Jurassic (Bathonian)-Early Pleistocene and have a primarily Laurasian distribution. The best Cenozoic record for is in Europe, where two species type genus AlbanerpetonEstes & Hoffstetter, 1976 occur over 40 localities early Oligocene-Early age Austria, Czech Republic, France, German...

The type section of the Middle and Upper Jurassic Chaman Bid Formation is in the western Koppeh Dagh Basin (Northeast Iran). It is unusually thick and contains a rather rich ammonite fauna, ranging from Bathonian to Tithonian. The ammonites described here come from a 134-m-thick interval in the upper part of member (D) in the middle part of the formation, consisting of an alternation of grey li...

The Middle Jurassic (Bathonian)-Upper Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) deposits exposed at the southern front of Central High Atlas (CHA, Southern Morocco) include thick fluvial successions largely undifferentiated in previous studies. These continental strata record a long period relief formation due to crustal shortening and subsequent denudation that predated Cenozoic, syn-collisional, tectonic in...
