Climate variability is driven by a complex interplay of global-scale processes and our
understanding of them depends on sufficient temporal resolution of the geologic records and …

The breakup of the former Pangea supercontinent culminated in the modern drifting
continents. Increased rifting caused the establishment of the Atlantic Ocean in the middle …

The time scale for marine magnetic anomalies for the Late Cretaceous through Neogene (C-
sequence) and Middle Jurassic through Early Cretaceous (M-sequence with deep-tow …

Over the past 25 yr, the science of stratigraphy has evolved to include time-correlative data
from vastly disparate components of the Earth system. Not least of these is the global signal …

The Tethyan pelagic sections at Bottaccione and Contessa Highway (Gubbio, Italy) are
internationally recognized to be the standard reference sections for the Late Cretaceous to …

Mercury (Hg) is increasingly being used as a sedimentary tracer of Large Igneous Province
(LIP) volcanism, and supports hypotheses of a coincidence between the formation of several …

The mass extinction at the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary marks one of the most
important biotic turnover events in Earth history. Yet, despite decades of study, the causes of …

Abstract The Songke-1 north (SK-1n) borehole recovered a continuous, 1541.66 m Late
Santonian–Early Danian terrestrial succession in Songliao Basin (SB), northeastern China …

The Milankovitch theory of climate change is widely accepted, but the registration of the
climate changes in the stratigraphic record and their use in building high-resolution …

Climate instability driven by emission of volatiles during emplacement of large igneous
provinces (LIPs) is frequently invoked as a potential cause of mass extinctions. However …
