Island life in the Cretaceous - faunal composition, biogeography, evolution, and extinction of land-living vertebrates on the Late Cretaceous European archipelago
TL;DR: It is shown that there is no clear evidence that dinosaurs or other groups were undergoing long-term declines in Europe prior to the bolide impact, and the importance of the European record in understanding the end-Cretaceous extinction is discussed.
New information on Nqwebasaurus thwazi, a coelurosaurian theropod from the Early Cretaceous Kirkwood Formation in South Africa
Jonah N. Choiniere,Jonah N. Choiniere,Jonah N. Choiniere,Catherine A. Forster,William J. De Klerk +4 more
TL;DR: The phylogenetic results hypothesize that Nqwebasaurus is the basalmost ornithomimosaur, and recover numerous characters supporting this relationship, including features of the maxilla, frontal, dentition, axial skeleton, forelimb and hindlimb.

Ostracod biostratigraphy in the Lower Cretaceous of the Iberian chain (eastern Spain)
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors combined 87 ostracod species from 22 genera to 11 associations, each typical for certain stratigraphic levels and ecologies, and concluded that if treated with great care especially under consideration of the biogeography and reproduction/dispersal strategies of the various groups, it should be given priority over pure lithostratigraphic correlations in conflicting cases.

Origins of microfossil bonebeds: insights from the Upper Cretaceous Judith River Formation of north-central Montana
Raymond R. Rogers,Mara E. Brady +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the sedimentology and taphonomy of 27 microfossil bonebeds in the Campanian Judith River Formation of Montana in order to reconstruct formative histories.

A holistic approach to the palaeoecology of Las Hoyas Konservat-Lagerstätte (La Huérguina Formation, Lower Cretaceous, Iberian Ranges, Spain)@@@Una aproximación holística a la palaeoecología del Konservat-Lagerstätte de Las Hoyas (Formación La Huérguina, Cretácico Inferior, Cordillera Ibérica, España)
TL;DR: The Las Hoyas fossil site (Lower Cretaceous, Iberian Ranges, Spain) is a classic lacustrine fossil-lagerstätte that exemplifies the features predicted by the original concept of Konservat-Lagerstötten in relation to the quantity of remains, quality of preservation, completeness, and preservation by a combination of obrution, stagnation and, in this case, mainly bacterial sealing as mentioned in this paper.

Taphonomy and paleobiology
TL;DR: Taphonomy plays diverse roles in paleobiology, including assessing sample quality relevant to ecologic, biogeographic, and evolutionary questions, diagnosing the roles of various taphonomic agents, processes and circumstances in generating the sedimentary and fossil records, and reconstructing the dynamics of organic recycling over time as a part of Earth history as discussed by the authors.
A Comprehensive Phylogenetic Study of Amiid Fishes (Amiidae) Based on Comparative Skeletal Anatomy. an Empirical Search for Interconnected Patterns of Natural History
Lance Grande,William E. Bemis +1 more
TL;DR: This work presents the first well-supported comprehensive phylogeny for fossil and living amiid fishes, which synthesizes clearly documented phylogenetic data on amiids and other halecomorph fishes with other historical phenomena such as ontogeny, historical biogeography, stratigraphic paleontology, and paleoecology.

TL;DR: In this article, a geodynamic model for the evolution of the Iberian plate and the Central-North Atlantic is presented, based on the evaluation of Mesozoic extensional tectonics and an analysis of available geophysical data.

- 01 Jan 2001
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a cycle of rifting in the plate-forme peri-tethysienne nord-occidentale of the Cretace inferieur, which is responsible for the formation of 43 km de profondeur.

Taphonomy of insects in carbonates and amber
TL;DR: The major taphonomic processes that control insect preservation in carbonate rocks (limestones, travertines and nodules) are biological: insect size and wingspan, degree of decomposition, presence of microbial mats, predation and scavenging; environmental: water surface tension, water temperature, density and salinity, current activity; and diagenetic: authigenic mineralisation, flattening, deformation, carbonisation as discussed by the authors.
