The Ortaköy-Barcın Plateau Cretaceous sequence is located in the Antalya nappes outcropping throughout Akseki-Güzelsu-Köprülü which northern of Gündoğmuş (Antalya). begins with Albian limestones containing mainly Pseudonummoloculina aurigerica, Praechrysalidina infracretacea, Nezzazata isabellae, Trochamminoides coronus, Glomospira urgoniana, Vercorsella arenata, Cuneolina parva and they are co...

Pondweed bugs (Hemiptera: Mesoveliidae), considered a sister group to all other Gerromorpha, are exceedingly rare as fossils. Therefore, each new discovery of a fossil mesoveliid is of high interest, giving new insight into their early evolutionary history and diversity and enabling the testing of their proposed relationships. Here, we report the discovery of new mesoveliid material from Spanis...

Thirteen species of basal Brachycera (11 described as new) are reported, belonging to nine families and three infraorders. They are preserved in amber from the Early Cretaceous (Neocomian) of Lebanon, Albian of northern Spain, upper Albian to lower Cenomanian of northern Myanmar, and Late Cretaceous of New Jersey USA (Turonian) and Alberta, Canada (Campanian). Taxa are as follows, with signific...

Rare erratic clasts – extraneous rock types occur in the Upper Cretaceous Chalk, including a local basal facies, Cambridge Greensand. The underlying Albian Gault Clay and Hunstanton Red Chalk Formations have also yielded erratics. discovery of these erratics, their description development hypotheses to explain origins significance are reviewed. They became subject scientific interest with inter...
