Herein we describe two new tribosphenic mammals from the Cedar Mountain Formation of Emery County, Utah, USA. The fossils occur in a narrow stratigraphic interval near the top of the unit (Mussentuchit Member) and date to approximately the Early–Late Cretaceous boundary (early Cenomanian, ~97 Mya). The specimens were recovered from screen-washing bulk rock samples. Both taxa are based on isolat...

A new genus and species of ibis fly is described from an isolated wing in amber from the Late Albian-Early Cenomanian of Charentes, southwestern France. Galloatherix incompletus gen. et sp. n., is the first Athericidae fossilized in Cretaceous amber, and only the eighth Mesozoic species. It adds to the diverse aquatic and semiaquatic paleobiota already identified from Charentese amber. 

In the Batna Mountains, Cenomanian Marnes de Smail Formation yield fossiliferous deposits mostly dominated by bivalves. Thirty-five bivalve species were identified, belonging to nine orders, 19 families and 26 genera. Five of them are mentioned for first time from study area (i.e., Nucula ? cf. margaritifera Douvillé, Barbatia (Barbatia) aegyptiaca Fourtau, Cucullaea trigona Seguenza, Arctica i...

Abstract The early Cenomanian crippsi Event comprises a 1–3-m-thick interval characterised by mass occurrences of the inoceramid Gnesioceramus , identified in uppermost Sharpeiceras schlueteri Subzone (lower lower Mantelliceras mantelli Zone), below an interregional sequence boundary (SB Ce 1). At Lüneburg, event is densely packed, very large, disc-like valves G . Taphonomy as well bio- and mic...

On the Barents Shelf, northernmost and least explored hydrocarbon province of Norwegian Continental Upper Jurassic organic-rich shales have traditionally been given most attention as these represent prolific source rock unit region. However, in western frontier areas is too deeply buried. By combining high-resolution 2D seismic data, well logs, digitalized Rock-Eval this study documents lateral...

The Mishrif Formation represents a carbonate succession that deposited in major parts of the Arabian Plate during Cenomanian stage. formation is rich fossils including foraminifera, rudists, and algae. This study includes determination biozones biostratigraphic limits three boreholes sections (Cenomanian) from Majnoon Zubair oil fields southern Iraq within Mesopotamian Basin. A new scheme intro...

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...

The mid-Cretaceous histories (origin, growth, death) of algal-rudist-stromatoporoid reef communities located on many Pacific Basin guyots are complex and controversial. These shallow water, tropical communities originated on volcanic edifices extruded during the Barremian-Albian, grew upward during edifice subsidenceftransgression throughout the Aptian, Albian and Cenomanian and several of them...
