The Quseir Formation is an Upper Cretaceous (Campanian) deposit in the Kharga oasis of Southwestern Desert (Egypt). This formation comprises a clastic sequence bioturbated mudstone and sandstone intercalations, including rare scattered fragmented vertebrate remains such as shark teeth, dinosaur remains, turtle plates. These deposits indicate supratidal marsh environment. A complete shell discov...

A new lithostrotian sauropod, the small-sized Overosaurus paradasorum n. gen et sp. from the Anacleto Formation (Campanian, Late Cretaceous, Neuquén Group, Patagonia, Argentina) is here described. The specimen (MAU-Pv-CO-439) consists of a fully articulated vertebral series from the 10th cervical to the 20th caudal vertebra, the last cervical ribs, several dorsal ribs in articulation with their...

Late Cretaceous (late Campanian) diatom assemblages from the Campbell Plateau (Zealandia), southwest Pacific Ocean, obtained Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP) Leg 29 Site 275, contain well-preserved specimens of two enigmatic species currently assigned to genus Ktenodiscus; Micrampulla parvula originally described Maastrichtian-age Moreno Shale, California, and Pterotheca cretacea DSDP 275. In g...

A succession of Late Campanian- Early Maastrichtian is analyzed from Gurpi Formation with regard to the calcareous nannofossils. Correlation Matrix was applied for the first time to the entire nannofossil assemblage to reconstruct environmental conditions. A detailed quantitative calcareous nannofossil analyses is performed on samples in order to further investigate the climate events, and inte...

The Velaux-La Bastide Neuve fossil-bearing site (Bouches-du-Rhône, France) has yielded a diverse vertebrate assemblage dominated by dinosaurs, including the titanosaur Atsinganosaurus velauciensis. We here provide a complete inventory of vertebrate fossils collected during two large-scale field campaigns. Numerous crocodilian teeth occur together with complete skulls. Pterosaur, hybodont shark ...

To reconstruct the climatic fluctuations that occurred in middle latitudes of Northern Hemisphere Atlantic Ocean Campanian Age, systematic composition shells planktonic foraminifera was studied from core samples seven deep-water drilling holes. The identified foraminiferal assemblages are assigned to two types (boreal and intermediate) one subtype (warm boreal) thanatocenosis. On basis their sp...

Pterosaur fossils from the Campanian-Maastrichtian of North America have been reported from the continental interior, but few have been described from the west coast. The first pterosaur from the Campanian Northumberland Formation (Nanaimo Group) of Hornby Island, British Columbia, is represented here by a humerus, dorsal vertebrae (including three fused notarial vertebrae), and other fragments...
