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 …

A detailed δ18O and δ13C stratigraphy has been generated from analysis of well-preserved
Albian–early Maastrichtian foraminifera from Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP) Sites 511 …

Planktic microfossils arguably provide the most complete (stratigraphic and taxonomic)
record of biodiversity of any group of organisms. The phytoplankton record is of particular …

General circulation models (GCMs) use the laws of physics and an understanding of past
geography to simulate climatic responses. They are objective in character. However, they …

The evolution of planktonic foraminifers in the Cretaceous shows pulses of diversification
and stasis interrupted by brief extinction events and faunal turnover. The overall record …

Precise estimates of past temperatures are critical for understanding the evolution of
organisms and the physical biosphere, and data from continental areas are an …

We have constructed an integrated calcareous nannoplankton, calpionellid, and planktonic
foraminifer biostratigraphy for the Cretaceous Period. This biostratigraphy, which consists of …

Terrestrial climates near the time of the end-Cretaceous mass extinction are poorly known,
limiting understanding of environmentally driven changes in biodiversity that occurred …

Climatic and oceanographic variations during the last 2 my of the Maastrichtian inferred from
high-resolution (10 ky) stable isotope analysis of the mid-latitude South Atlantic Deep Sea …

Late Cretaceous calcareous nannofossil taxa, their distributions and relative abundances
were recorded from nine Indian Ocean sites. The majority of taxa are shown to be broadly …
