Here we present LM and SEM data of pollen extant Sciadopitys verticillata, fossil Cerebropollenites from Aptian/Albian strata (Austria, Mongolia) Sciadopityspollenites Campanian/Maastrichtian Oligocene/Miocene (Siberia, Germany). Measurements image comparisons show that the investigated taxa range somewhat comparable to very similar a previous affiliation with Tsuga cannot be corroborated. Addi...

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...

Five subsurface sections and a large number of thin the Hartha Formation (age Late Campanian – Early Maastrichtian) were studied to unravel depositional facies environments. The is important as an oil reservoir in Iraq. Petrographic microfacies analysis selected wells from Balad East Baghdad fields Central Iraq, enable recognition three main Sedimentary paleoenvironments. These are restricted m...

Upper Cretaceous strata of the Mahajanga Basin, northwestern Madagascar, yield some of the most significant and exquisitely preserved vertebrate fossils known from Gondwana. The sedimentology of these strata and their stratigraphic relations have been the focus of renewed geological investigations during the course of five expeditions since 1993. We here designate stratotypes and formalize the ...

An assemblage of large and robust pedunculate scalpellomorph cirripede barnacles from the Maastrichtian Kalaat Senan (Tunisia) is described, their stratigraphical position within Abiod El Haria formations noted. Four taxa are documented, three which confined to area, namely Pachyscalpellum heltzeli , Cretiscalpellum robaszynskii sp. nov. Diotascalpellum sp.; fourth, curvatum was previously reco...
