  OXFORDIAN - LoveToKnow Article on OXFORDIAN
The term Oxfordian was introduced by dOrbigny in 1844.
The Oxfordian of the continent of Europe is divided according to A. de Lapparent into an upper (Argovian) and a lower (Neuvizyen) substage.
In the former he includes part of the English Coralline Oolite and in the latter the lower Calcareous Grit, while a portion of the lower Oxford Clay is placed in the Divesian or upper substage of the Callovian.

Stage I - After an emersion episode started in the Callovian, the immersion of most parts of the basin begins in the middle Oxfordian with the definition of shallow marine and lacustrine depositional systems.
Stage II - It begins with the early Kimmeridgian paroxysm episode of the rifting phase, responsible for the differentiation of sub-basins with intense subsidence related with fragile structuration and halokinese.
Stage III - At the beginning of the Tithonian a short term sea-level rise (within a long term eustatic rise) is responsible for an important transgressive surface and a widespread carbonate shelf sedimentation occurs, including shelf ooid grainstones and coral biohermes.

 MetroActive Stage | Shakespeare for Real?
The Oxfordian case is based largely on de Vere's familiarity with the royal court and on passages in his letters resembling Shakespeare's language.
The Oxfordian theory has persisted since suspicions were first raised that the most famous plays in the English language were the works of a prominent member of the Elizabethan court, rather than those of an obscure, itinerant actor.
Oxfordians maintain that very little is known of William Shakespeare of Stratford's life, and what little historical record there is points to someone who was more businessman than poet.

 Why I Am not an Oxfordian
Oxfordians, however, see such external evidence as an annoyance to be rationalized away; they have built up a picture of who the author must have been from reading the plays themselves, and that picture does not look like William Shakespeare of Stratford.
A large part of the "evidence" used by Oxfordians is internal to the works themselves: reconstructions of what the author "must have" thought and what his background must have been like, and supposed allusions to events in Oxford's life, all taken from the plays and poems.
Not all Oxfordians are equally guilty of these things; there are some who, to their credit, have tried to raise the standards of the movement and put it on a more scholarly footing.

This syn-rift stage about "pole B1" can be modeled satisfactorily to Early Oxfordian time to achieve a good reconstruction of the Louann and Campeche salt provinces flanking the central Gulf (figures 1 and 3).
The second stage of Yucatan motion began about "pole C" of figure 3, in the Early Oxfordian, at the end of salt deposition.
Our Early Oxfordian reconstruction accommodates known salt occurrence in the Gulf ("salt fit"); hence, we consider that onset of seafloor spreading, the change in the Yucatan-North America pole position, separation of Louann and Campeche salt provinces, and initiation of open marine conditions were nearly coeval and possibly causally related.

 The Oxfordian Hamlet
The Oxfordians, in turn, have said that I ignored the most important part of their claim, which is that the earl's life story is to be found scattered throughout the plays.
All of these events, according to the Oxfordians, are alluded to in one form or another in the plays.
Inasmuch as the purpose of this Oxfordian claim is that courtiers would have recognized Polonius as a lampoon of Burghley, we should consider the image of him in the words of William Camden, perhaps the most reliable commentator on the famous figures of his day.

 CALLOVIAN - LoveToKnow Article on CALLOVIAN
(from Callovium, the Latinized form of Kellawa~s, a village not far from Chippenham in Wiltshire), in geology, the name introduced by dOrbigny for the strata which constitute the base of the Oxfordian or lowermost stage of the Middle Oolites.
In England, Kepplerites calloviensis is taken as the zone fossil; other common forms are Cosmoceras modiolare, C. gowerianum, Belemnites oweni, A ncyloceras calloviense, Nautilus call oviensis, Avicula ovalis, Gryphaea bilobata, andc.
On the European continent the Callovien stage is used in a sense that is not exactly synonymous with the English Callovian; it is employed to embrace beds that lie both higher and lower in the time-scale.

 Why I am not an Oxfordian: Bacon versus De Vere
People unaware the Oxfordian movement may have began as a joke, continually suggest, while snickering behind their sleeves, that instead of Oxfordian, it would be fitting, as a proper tribute to their founder, to call themselves Looneys.
Even hard-core Oxfordians of the sheep variety (who don't have to hold their noses to remain oblivious to the fact that something smells about their theory) sometimes show traces of recusancy regarding this issue.
One of the major claims of the Oxfordians is that the plays reflect the life and personal experiences of de Vere and that he, and the people he came in contact with are depicted in the plays.

Stage 1: Triassic-Oxfordian NW-SE asymmetric continental stretching (Yucatán=hanging wall), with minor CCW rotation of Yucatán, and SE-ward motions along Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt and other lineaments.
Stage 2: Oxfordian-Valanginian CCW rotation of Yucatán as seafloor crust formed in central GoM.
During Stage 2, Yucatán-NoAm rotation pole migrated SE from the SE GoM to Isle of Youth, and the "East Mexican Shear Zone" along the Tuxpan margin accommodated transform motion between Yucatán and Mexico.

He says that Oxfordians hold that "all traces of aristocratic origins and connections were expunged from the plays and poems so as to maintain the fiction of humble authorship." Perhaps he likes the idea of humble authorship, but there seems little reason for Oxfordians to make that argument.
But in the end she does grant he was an artist who took "positions that foster the liberties of the subject" and goes on to note his "habit of constructing and then privileging a marginalised character." Which is pretty perceptive and probably about as far as she can go.
Evans states that all significant art is to some extent autobiographical; then he seems to say that Oxfordians differ from most critics in believing that the sonnets are not autobiographical.

 Report: Caribbean Tectonics at AAPG International Meeting, Barcelona,Spain, September 21-24, 2003
Stage 1: Triassic-Oxfordian NW-SE asymmetric continental stretching (Yucatán was hanging wall), with minor CCW rotation of Yucatán, during which sinistral motion occurred along "Texas", "Burgos" and Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt lineaments.
During Stage 2, the "East Mexican Shear Zone" at the base of the Tuxpan margin initially defined the trace of Yucatán/Mexico relative motion, but by Tithonian transform motion jumped into Veracruz Basin, which became a dextral pull-apart basin adjacent to the western GoM.
Syn-rift subsidence (Stage 1) exceeded post-rift thermal subsidence (Stage 2) in the northern margin, whereas post-rift thermal subsidence was more significant into the Cretaceous for Yucatán.

The present authors follow Sha and Fursich (1993, 1994), using the Berriasian as the global initial stage of the Cretaceous, and the Volgian, which is equivalent to the global terminal Jurassic stage of Tithonian, as the Boreal Jurassic terminal stage.
Boundaries between the formations are all conformable but, in the absence of ammonites or microfossils, age control is not precise.
According to the concurrent ranges of palaeotaxodont, pteriomorph, and isofilibranch bivalves, the Quemoco Formation is Bajocian-Bathonian in age, the Matuo Formation is Bathonian, the Tuotuohe, Xiali, and Suowa Formations are Callovian-Oxfordian, and the Zhaworong Formation is pre-Cretaceous and possibly as old as Oxfordian (Sha et al., 1998).

The lithofacial boundary in NW-Germany between Korallenoolith and Kimmeridge is traditionally equated to the Oxfordian / Kimmeridgian stage boundary.
The basal section of the Oberer Korallenoolith, however, is of Oxfordian age, as has been proved by means of ammonites (SALFELD 1914).
The stratigraphic distribution of 35 taxa as well as the comprehensive account of previously published ostracode zone patterns show that, on the basis of ostracode faunas, a valid correlation between the Oxfordian and Kimmeridgian sediments of England and NW-Germany is possible, especially within in range of the Mutabilis and Eudoxus zones.

Elliott fils, though not a card-carrying Oxfordian nor a Shakespeare scholar of any kind (his home field is American Constitutional Law), had an amateur’s knowledge of Oxfordian arguments and was more inclined than most literature-department Shakespeare regulars to consider them open to debate and worthy of further exploration.
These tests got a brief, intense barrage of criticisms from Oxfordians, Marlovians, and others but have turned out, on re-examination, to be remarkably robust.
The students tackled poet claimants first, for two reasons: four-fifths of the testable claimants were poets, while less than half were playwrights; and the pertinent poem baseline texts, both for Shakespeare and for the claimants, were twenty times shorter than the play baselines and required much less editing.
