Gram Formation
The Gram Formation is a geological formation in Gram, Denmark. It preserves fossils dating from the Miocene period. The formation consists of three layers: the glauconite-rich, the Gram Clay, and the Gram sand. The sediments in the formation were deposited in an open marine depositional environment known as the Gram Sea. Fossil content Many fossils of new species have been discovered in the formation, including those of the beaked-whale ''Dagonodum mojnum'' and the mollusk species Pseudocochlespira gramensis, as well as specimens of better-known species such as ''Carcharodon megalodon''. See also * List of fossil sites * Gram Natural History Museum Gram Natural History Museum opened in 1976 in Gram in the Southern Jutland area of Denmark. It was located in Gram Palace until it was moved to a site next to the Gram Clay Pit in 2005. Once an independent museum, it became a part of the larger ...

Tithonian
In the geological timescale, the Tithonian is the latest age of the Late Jurassic Epoch and the uppermost stage of the Upper Jurassic Series. It spans the time between 152.1 ± 4 Ma and 145.0 ± 4 Ma (million years ago). It is preceded by the Kimmeridgian and followed by the Berriasian (part of the Cretaceous).See for a detailed version of the geologic timescale Gradstein ''et al.'' (2004) Stratigraphic definitions The Tithonian was introduced in scientific literature by German stratigrapher Albert Oppel in 1865. The name Tithonian is unusual in geological stage names because it is derived from Greek mythology. Tithonus was the son of Laomedon of Troy and fell in love with Eos, the Greek goddess of dawn. His name was chosen by Albert Oppel for this stratigraphical stage because the Tithonian finds itself hand in hand with the dawn of the Cretaceous. The base of the Tithonian stage is at the base of the ammonite biozone of '' Hybonoticeras hybonotum''. A global reference profi ...

Valanginian
In the geologic timescale, the Valanginian is an age or stage of the Early or Lower Cretaceous. It spans between 139.8 ± 3.0 Ma and 132.9 ± 2.0 Ma (million years ago). The Valanginian Stage succeeds the Berriasian Stage of the Lower Cretaceous and precedes the Hauterivian Stage of the Lower Cretaceous. Stratigraphic definitions The Valanginian was first described and named by Édouard Desor in 1853. It is named after Valangin Valangin () is a former municipality in the district of Val-de-Ruz in the canton of Neuchâtel in Switzerland. On 1 January 2021 the former municipalities of Corcelles-Cormondrèche, Peseux and Valangin merged into the municipality of Neuchâ ..., a small town north of Neuchâtel in the Jura Mountains of Switzerland. The base of the Valanginian is at the first appearance of Calpionellidae, calpionellid species ''Calpionellites darderi'' in the stratigraphic column. A global reference section (a GSSP) had in 2009 not yet been appointed. The top o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Berriasian
In the geological timescale, the Berriasian is an age/stage of the Early/Lower Cretaceous. It is the oldest subdivision in the entire Cretaceous. It has been taken to span the time between 145.0 ± 4.0 Ma and 139.8 ± 3.0 Ma (million years ago). The Berriasian succeeds the Tithonian (part of the Jurassic) and precedes the Valanginian. Stratigraphic definition The Berriasian Stage was introduced in scientific literature by Henri Coquand in 1869. It is named after the village of Berrias in the Ardèche department of France. The largely non-marine English Purbeck Formation is in part of Berriasian age.In fact, the first rocks to be described of this age were the beds of the English Purbeck Formation, named as the Purbeckian by Alexandre Brongniart in 1829 following description by Henry De la Beche, William Buckland, Thomas Webster and William Henry Fitton. The base of the Berriasian, which is also the base of the Cretaceous System, has traditionally been placed at the first ap ...

Jydegaard Formation
The Jydegaard Formation (also spelled as 'Jydegård') is a geological formation dating to the Early Cretaceous, about 145-139 million years ago. It is on the island of Bornholm, Denmark. Vertebrate fossils have been found in the formation. Fossil content Thin bone fragments have been uncovered that may belong to pterosaurs or birds. Dinosaurs A tooth possibly belonging to a juvenile titanosaur has been found in the formation. Crocodylomorphs Fish Fish remains have been found in coprolites possibly belonging to the dromaeosaur ''Dromaeosauroides'' or marine turtles. Also, unidentified pycnodont jaws and two small stem- teleosteans have been uncovered. Amioid scales have also been revealed. Turtles Unidentified turtle carapaces have been uncovered in the Formation. Lizards A lower jaw from a lizard has been recovered from the formation.

Nyker Group
The Nyker Group is a group of geological formations from the Early Cretaceous, about 146 to 140 million years ago. It is on the island of Bornholm, Denmark. It includes the Rabekke, Robbedale and Jydegaard Formations. Rabekke Formation The Rabekke Formation is the lowermost formation of the Nyker Group. It dates to about 146 to 145 million years ago, at the Jurassic-Cretaceous boundary. The formation has the significance of having the first Scandinavian mammal, '' Sunnyodon notleyi'', uncovered from it. Many crocodilomorphs and other vertebrates have been recovered from it. Robbedale Formation The Robbedale Formation is the middle formation of the Nyker Group. It dates to about 145 million years ago. No vertebrate fossils have been recovered from the formation. Jydegaard Formation The Jydegaard Formation is the uppermost formation of the Nyker Group. It dates to around 145 to 140 million years ago.

Maastrichtian Chalk Formation
The Maastrichtian () is, in the ICS geologic timescale, the latest age (uppermost stage) of the Late Cretaceous Epoch or Upper Cretaceous Series, the Cretaceous Period or System, and of the Mesozoic Era or Erathem. It spanned the interval from . The Maastrichtian was preceded by the Campanian and succeeded by the Danian (part of the Paleogene and Paleocene). The Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event (formerly known as the Cretaceous–Tertiary extinction event) occurred at the end of this age. In this mass extinction, many commonly recognized groups such as non-avian dinosaurs, plesiosaurs and mosasaurs, as well as many other lesser-known groups, died out. The cause of the extinction is most commonly linked to an asteroid about wide colliding with Earth, ending the Cretaceous. Stratigraphic definitions Definition The Maastrichtian was introduced into scientific literature by Belgian geologist André Hubert Dumont in 1849, after studying rock strata of the Chalk Gro ...
