Climate variability is driven by a complex interplay of global-scale processes and our
understanding of them depends on sufficient temporal resolution of the geologic records and …

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 …

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 …

The stratigraphic distribution of ammonite and inoceramid faunas of the richly fossiliferous
Cenomanian through basal Middle Campanian (Upper Cretaceous) succession of the …

Late Cretaceous carbon isotope curves generated for localities in Europe, Asia, and the
deep-sea records have provided the foundation for development of a contiguous …

A refined astronomical tuning of the upper Albian− lower Campanian is proposed from the
Bottaccione reference section (Gubbio, central Italy). Long-term eccentricity cycles filtered …

The Coniacian–Santonian time interval is the inferred time of oceanic anoxic event 3 (OAE
3), the last of the Cretaceous OAEs. A detailed look on the temporal and spatial distribution …

Abstract During the Cretaceous, the Crimea–Caucasus area occupied a position in the Peri-
Tethys which was transitional between the Boreal and Tethyan realms. The evolution and …

Abstract Carbon (δ13Corg, δ13Ccarb) and oxygen (δ18Ocarb) isotope records are
presented for an expanded Upper Cretaceous (Turonian–Coniacian) hemipelagic …

The biostratigraphic importance, current zonations, and potential for the recognition of the
standard chronostratigraphic boundaries of five palaeontological groups (benthic …
