  Albian - LoveToKnow 1911
In England it is usual to regard the Albian stage as equivalent to the Upper Greensand plus Gault, that is, to the "Selbornian" of Jukes-Browne.
It is necessary therefore, when using the term Albian, to bear these differences in mind, and to ascertain the exact position of the strata by reference to the zonal fossils.
In addition to the formations mentioned above, the following representatives of the Albian stage are worthy of notice: the gaize and phosphatic beds of Argonne and Bray in France; the Flammenmergel of North Germany; the lignites of Utrillas in Spain; the Upper Sandstones of, Nubia, and the Fredericksburg beds of North America.

Albian Sands Energy Inc. is the operator of the Muskeg River Mine located 75 kilometres north of Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada.
Albian Sands Energy Inc. garnered its name from the Albian Boreal Sea which molded the landscape we have come to know as Northern Alberta.
Over 100 million years ago, as the Albian Sea moved over the McMurray sands, a blanket of marine shale was deposited on its floor and trapped the hydrocarbons of the McMurray Formation.

 Category:Albian System - Basilicus - Free Worldbuilding - a Wikia wiki
Albians insystem also live on Talon and Greenwood, two of the moons orbiting Greydon, a gas giant converted by terraforming technology to an artificial sun during the colonization of the Albian system, as well as on Winterhold and Beltak.
The Albian system is the capital system of the Albian Confederation, a confederal union of freeholds which have their origins in the earliest days of the Dark Time.
Albian, the sole planet explored in any detail by Free and Democratic Worlds scouts, was established as a penal colony, with minimal technology to begin with, and thus more easily slid into barbarism when the Dark Time came.

 The holostratigraphy of the Albian Stage (Lower Cretaceous) of the UK and its continental shelf
The Albian succession of the United Kingdom crops out in a narrow belt from eastern Devon and Dorset to The Wash and northward through Lincolnshire into Yorkshire, with a further area bordering The Weald.
The Albian has been successfully subdivided employing a number of methods (lithostratigraphy, biostratigraphy, chemostratigraphy, seismostratigraphy, sequence stratigraphy, etc) which, when combined into a holostratigraphical scheme, provides the basis of a high resolution stratigraphical tool.
The holostratigraphy of the Albian is presented as a BGS Research Report (RR/06/01) released for download here in.pdf format.

 Albian Stage, Cretaceous Period in Hampshire - Hampshire Museums Service
In Hampshire and the Isle of Wight the Albian stage is represented by approximately 71 metres of clays and greensands which derive from wholly marine sediments deposited in water between 27 and 54 metres deep.
In the past, the Albian stage was also known as the Selbornian which includes the Gault and Upper Greensand.
The Albian stage is present below the southern part and in the sea cliffs at each end of the Isle of Wight.

 MAGNETOSTRATIGRAPHY AND POLARITY CHRON ASSIGNMENTS
The Aptian through lower Albian sediments are dominated by the normal polarity of Chron C34n (Cretaceous Long Normal Polarity Chron).
Paleomagnetic minicores were obtained from the Albian through Danian (lower Paleocene) in Hole 1050C and from the upper Paleocene through middle Eocene in Hole 1050A.
Shipboard measurements of cores from the upper portion of Hole 1051B in the pass-through cryogenic magnetometer suggest a reversed-polarity zone at the base of the upper Eocene, and the associated calcareous nannofossil Zone CP15 indicates a possible assignment to polarity Chron C16r.

Regardless of why the institution decided to acquire physicians, in my experience there is a common theme among those who are performing better than the average: setting realistic goals, obtaining real physician commitment and managing according to a formal plan.

 New bivalve taxa from the Tucumcari Formation (Cretaceous, Albian), New Mexico, and the biostratigraphic significance ...
THE TUCUMCARI Formation, of early late Albian age and coeval with the lower Washita Group of eastern and central Texas, is widely exposed and abundantly fossiliferous in eastcentral New Mexico.
In addition, limited exposures of Albian strata that are coeval with, or slightly older, than the Tucumcari have been described in eastern Roosevelt County ("Kiamichi-equivalent shale," Kues, 1986a) and in several counties of west-central Texas east and southeast of Roosevelt County (Kiamichi and Duck Creek Formations; Brand, 1953) (Figures 1 and 2).
The Tucumcari Formation in east-central New Mexico is overlain with slight temporal disconformity by coarse fluvial sandstone units of the Albian Mesa Rica Formation and is underlain with pronounced disconformity by Jurassic strata (Holbrook and Dunbar, 1992).

By analogy, lower abundances of subsurface-dwelling plankton (nannoconids, rotaliporids) in the Late Albian fl shales may indicate a lower influence of fluvial discharge compared with the sapropel formation in the Mediterranean Sea.

The MSL at the Camp Jefferson section is interpreted as a proxy record of local Late Albian paleoprecipitation and recharge on the cratonic coastal plain of the Western Interior Basin.
O values of the siderite cements in more proximal fluvial sandstones are interpreted to record the composition of regional recharge by inland paleoprecipitation that was depleted by continental effect over a large drainage basin including much of the area of NW Iowa and southern Minnesota.
Late Albian carbonate cements were sampled from three stratigraphic sections from the eastern margin of the Cretaceous Western Interior Basin.

Echinoderms are well-represented in Albian microfossils in the Gault Fm of southern England.
The Aptian Albian was the high point of a Late Jurassic to End-Cretaceous family of rhynchonellids known as the Cyclotherididae, and is marked by the appearance of the common genera Burrirhynchia and Septatoechia.
Climatically, the Barremian through Albian in the western North America represents a dry savanna, and water-loving Euro-Gondwanan predators like spinosaurids may have been ecologically excluded.

 ammonoid Desmoceras in the Upper Albian (Lower Cretaceous) of Japan, The Journal of Paleontology - Find Articles
ABSTRACT-The Upper Albian Desmoceras species of Japan are described, based on material from the Yezo Supergroup in Hokkaido, north Japan, and from the Fujikawa Formation in Shikoku, southwest Japan.
The subgenus Pseudouhligella presumably originated in the eastern Pacific during the Late Albian and subsequently migrated to the western Pacific during latest Albian to earliest Cenomanian time.
Desmoceras (D.) latidorsatum is a Tethyan form; its presence in the Upper Albian of the North Pacific probably reflects a northward excursion of warm-water currents from the tropical region during Late Albian time.

Upper Albian and Cenomanian source rocks penetrated elsewhere in the basin have been confirmed along the Grand Lahou high, although at greater richnesses (up to 15% TOC) than previously encountered.
Late Albian sands were deposited in half graben topographic lows on the 98 Ma unconformity surface.
Trap types and reservoirs along the Grand Lahou high would be similar to those found in shallower water along the Lion-Quebec high as Albian and Cenomanian fluvial and shallow marine sandstones are in fault and stratigraphic traps on Albian highs.
