It has been more than a decade since the appearance of the First Edition of this book. Much
progress has been made, but some controversies remain. The original ideas of Sloss and of …

Within the last two decades, a growing interest has emerged with the aim of understanding
the structure of the paleocommunities from Cretaceous continental deposits of Europe …

The long-term climate cooling during Campanian–Maastrichtian times is not well understood
to date, especially because of the uncertainty introduced by low temporal resolution of …

Stable isotope (δ18O and δ13C) ratios were measured in successive aragonitic shell
sequences of ammonoids (class Cephalopoda) to determine whether their depth …

Making Upper Cretaceous biostratigraphic correlations between the Northwest Pacific and
Tethyan–Atlantic sections have been difficult because of rare frequencies of age-diagnostic …

Oceanic Anoxic Events (OAEs) are a widespread, recurring and well-studied feature of the
mid-Cretaceous greenhouse climate, reflecting severe perturbations in Earth's climate and …

The Norian in the Western Tethys is characterised by the deposition of early-dolomitised
inner platform facies (Dolomia Principale/Hauptdolomit, DP/HD), bordered on the landward …

The late Cenomanian–early Turonian Oceanic Anoxic Event (OAE-2) represents major
paleoceanographic and faunal perturbations. Samples from the northern Tethyan margin …

New mid-Cretaceous stable isotope (δ18O and δ13C) records of multiple planktonic
foraminiferal species and coexisting coccoliths from Blake Nose (western North Atlantic) …

The climate of the mid to Late Cretaceous was probably one of the warmest of the
Phanerozoic, but by the late Maastrichtian distinctly cool high latitude regions had …
