Comparing the timing of mass extinctions with the formation age of large igneous provinces
reveals a close correspondence in five cases, but previous claims that all such provinces …

The evolution of Tethyan phosphogenesis during the Cretaceous–Eocene is examined to try
to explain fluctuations of phosphogenesis through time, and whether or not they reflect long …

A new 55 my global compilation of benthic foraminifera δ13C and δ18O for the middle to
Late Cretaceous shows that there was widespread formation of bottom waters with …

Benthic foraminiferal oxygen isotopic (δ18O) and carbon isotopic (δ13C) trends, constructed
from compilations of data series from multiple ocean sites, provide one of the primary means …

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 …

Abstract The separation of South America from Africa during the Cretaceous is poorly
understood due to the long period of stable polarity of the geomagnetic field, the Cretaceous …

The evolution of subtropical (30–35° N) upper ocean temperatures through the Cretaceous
is inferred from the oxygen isotope compositions of 64 fish teeth (enamel) coming from the …

Climate and sea-level fluctuations across the Cretaceous–Tertiary (K–T) transition in Tunisia
were examined based on bulk rock and clay mineralogies, biostratigraphy and lithology in …

Carbon-isotope stratigraphy has proven to be a powerful tool in the global correlation of
Cretaceous successions. Here we present new, high-resolution carbon-isotope records for …

Long-term secular variation in the isotopic composition of seawater fixed nitrogen (N) is
poorly known. Here, we document variation in the N-isotopic composition of marine …
