The basins and orogens of the Mediterranean region ultimately result from the opening of
oceans during the early break-up of Pangea since the Triassic, and their subsequent …

We have devised a new absolute Late Jurassic‐Cretaceous Pacific plate model using a
fixed hot spot approach coupled with paleomagnetic data from Pacific large igneous …

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 …

Based on the marine magnetic anomalies identified in the Argo Abyssal Plain offshore
northwestern Australia, the conceptual continent of Argoland must have rifted off in the Late …

The Aptian was characterized by dramatic tectonic, oceanographic, climatic and biotic
changes and its record is punctuated by Oceanic Anoxic Events (OAEs). The timing and …

Large igneous province (LIP) volcanism has been proposed as a key trigger of several
major climate and environmental perturbations during the Phanerozoic Aeon. Large-scale …

The Aptian stage, between∼ 113 and∼ 121 million years ago (Ma), was punctuated by a
succession of Oceanic Anoxic Events (OAEs), recording extreme global warmings, dramatic …

There is an apparent temporal correlation between large igneous province (LIP)
emplacement and global environmental crises, including mass extinctions. Advances in the …

Abstract Episodes of Environmental Change (EECs) were times of accelerated hydrological
cycle that punctuated the Early Cretaceous. Uncertainties in the geologic time scales …

The lacustrine black shales of the Lower Cretaceous Bayingebi Formation are an important
hydrocarbon source rock in the Yin'e Basin. It is important to understand the mechanism of …
