On impact and volcanism across the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary
The cause of the end-Cretaceous mass extinction is vigorously debated, owing to the
occurrence of a very large bolide impact and flood basalt volcanism near the boundary …

Recent advances in heteromorph ammonoid palaeobiology
R Hoffmann, JS Slattery, I Kruta… - Biological …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Heteromorphs are ammonoids forming a conch with detached whorls (open coiling) or non‐

The stratigraphy of mass extinctions and recoveries
SM Holland - Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 2020 - annualreviews.org
Interpretations of the tempo of mass extinctions and recoveries often rely on the distribution
of fossils in a stratigraphic column. These interpretations are generally compromised when …

Cretaceous large igneous provinces: from volcanic formation to environmental catastrophes and biological crises
Abstract The Cretaceous Period was marked by the formation of numerous large igneous
provinces (LIPs), several of which were associated with geologically rapid climate …
