The Mesozoic, perhaps representing the longest period of warmth during Phanerozoic Earth
history, contains in general sparse and frequently equivocal evidence for polar ice. Although …

As a paradigm of greenhouse climate in Earth's history, the Cretaceous provides significant
rock records of global climate changes under conditions of greenhouse climate. The …

A compilation of foraminiferal stable isotope measurements from southern high latitude
(SHL) deep-sea sites provides a novel perspective important for understanding Earth's …

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 …

In the late Paleocene to early Eocene, deep sea benthic foraminifera suffered their only
global extinction of the last 75 million years and diversity decreased worldwide by 30–50 …

The Cretaceous is a special episode in the history of the Earth named for a unique rock type,
chalk. Chalk is similar to modern deep-sea calcareous ooze and its deposition in …

The middle Miocene δ18O increase represents a fundamental change in the ocean‐
atmosphere system which, like late Pleistocene climates, may be related to deepwater …

High-resolution δ13C and δ18O records from upper Albian to lower Santonian pelagic
carbonates of the Contessa Quarry section in Italy exhibit large positive oxygen isotopic …

We present a global synthesis of the evolution of the climate/ocean system from the late
Campanian at approximately 75 Ma to the end of the Maastrichtian at 65 Ma. This study is …

The cause of the end-Cretaceous (KPg) mass extinction is still debated due to difficulty
separating the influences of two closely timed potential causal events: eruption of the …
