The literature on Triassic, Jurassic and earliest Cretaceous dinoflagellate cysts: supplement 4

Abstract

Since the publication of a major literature compilation issued in mid 2012, 94 further 12 contributions on Triassic, Jurassic and earliest Cretaceous (Berriasian) dinoflagellate cysts 13 have been discovered, or were issued recently (i.e. during late 2012 and early 2013). These 14 studies are mostly on the Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous of Europe, and are listed herein 15 with a description of each item as a string of keywords. 16
