Microcrinoids of the family Roveacrinidae Peck, 1943 are described from lower and middle Albian clays Anglo-Paris Basin (Seine Maritime, Pas de Calais Aube, France; Kent Bedfordshire, UK). They referred to two subfamilies - Orthogonocrininae Gale, 2019 Plotocrininae 2020. Orthogonocrinines include long-ranging (middle Albian-lower Cenomanian) species Orthogonocrinus apertus 1943, Styracocrinus ...

The record of non-mosasaur squamates (Reptilia, Squamata) is sparse in the Cretaceus fossil record of Brazil and include six putative reports, three from the Aptian-Albian of the Araripe Basin (Tijubina pontei Bonfim-Júnior and Marques, Olindalacerta brasiliensis Evans and Yabumoto, and a lizard indet.) and three from the Upper Cretaceous of the Bauru Group (Pristiguana brasiliensis Estes and P...

Palerasnitsynus ohlhoffigen. et sp. n. is described fromBurmese amber of late Albian (Lower Cretaceous) age. This is the first record of the family Psychomyiidae from Burmese amber, and the earliest fossil record of the family. The genus Palerasnitsynusgen. n. differs from all other known psychomyiid genera by the absence of fork III in the forewings.

Parasites are common in modern ecosystems and are also known from the fossil record. One of the best preserved and easily recognisable examples of parasitism in the fossil record concerns isopod-induced swellings in the branchial chamber of marine decapod crustaceans. However, very limited quantitative data on the variability of infestation percentages at the species, genus, and family levels a...

[1] Mid-Cretaceous (Barremian-Turonian) plankton preserved in deep-sea marl, organic-rich shale, and pelagic carbonate hold an important record of how the marine biosphere responded to shortand long-term changes in the ocean-climate system. Oceanic anoxic events (OAEs) were short-lived episodes of organic carbon burial that are distinguished by their widespread distribution as discrete beds of ...

The Partizansk and Razdolnaya coal basins of Primorye, Far East Russia, contain diverse early angiosperm fossils (pollen, leaves, fruits). In this paper, we revise the previous data on angiosperms region summarize results our latest research. Age plant-bearing deposits was clarified using isotopic U-Th-Pb LA-ICP-MS U-Pb ID-TIMS methods. upper part Lipovtsy Formation is 118 ± 1.4 Ma, which corre...

The Lower Cretaceous Carbonate deposits of the Dariyan Formation of the HighZagros Belt are mainly composed of thick to medium bedded limestone. These depositscontain abundant and diversified benthic foraminifera which have been recovered fromcarbonate rocks. A rich assemblage of microfossils with characteristic: Palorbitolinalenticularis (Blumenbach), Mesorbitolina subconcava (Leymerie), Mesor...

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.
