Abstract We evaluate the Cretaceous stratigraphy and carbon sequestration potential of northern Baltimore Canyon Trough (NBCT) using >10,000 km multi-channel seismic profiles integrated with geophysical logs, biostratigraphy, lithology from 29 offshore wells. identify map six sequences resolved primarily at stage level. Accommodation was dominated by thermal non-thermal subsidence, thoug...

We report the discovery of mammalian tribosphenic teeth from the basal Cenomanian of southwestern France that we refer to a new primitive marsupial-like form identified as a basal taxon of Marsupialiformes, a new clade recognized here to include the crown group Marsupialia and primitive stem lineages more closely related to Marsupialia than to Deltatheroida. Arcantiodelphys marchandi gen et sp ...

The eutherian, family-level clade Zhelestidae is consistently although weakly supported in five phylogenetic analyses that we performed on all Cretaceous eutherians. Additionally in the fifth analysis, which included some placentals, Zhelestidae is placed as a stem eutherian clade rather than grouping within the crown clade Placentalia as argued in some previous studies but not others. The subf...

The lithostratigraphy, biostratigraphy, sequence stratigraphy, ammonite and inoceramid faunas of the Upper Albian, Cenomanian, Lower Turonian Karai Formation, highest unit Uttatur Group in the Pondicherry Sub-Basin Cauvery Basin Tamil Nadu, south India, are documented. Detailed logs and descriptions sections between Kulakkalnattam, Odiyam Kunnam, north-west of Garudamangalam presented. They pro...

Searching one of the most important reservoirs Cretaceous in Iraq is aim many researchers. The studied sequences are Mishrif Formation southern Iraq. goal to define fauna and design biostratigraphic zoning. Forty genus species were identified as associated with capable reservoir facies (the biostrome). Identification biostrome mainly was Late Cenomanian part studying sequences. Suggested biozon...

The Cretaceous Period is considered the archetypical greenhouse interval, yet there mounting evidence for intermittent cooler climatic phases throughout this geologic span. Few continental climate histories exist south of paleoequator, and fewer still Africa during time. Galula Formation one few exposed fossiliferous sedimentary successions from what now subequatorial that also contains paleoso...

The best-documented example of rapid climate change that characterized the so-called 'greenhouse world' took place at the time of the Palaeocene-Eocene boundary: introduction of isotopically light carbon into the ocean-atmosphere system, accompanied by global warming of 5-8 degrees C across a range of latitudes, took place over a few thousand years. Dissociation, release and oxidation of gas hy...
