Early Cretaceous life and the environment were strongly influenced by the accelerated
break up of Pangaea, which was associated with the formation of a multitude of rift basins …

Severe climatic and environmental changes are far more prevalent in Earth history than
major extinction events, and the relationship between environmental change and extinction …

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 …

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

During the mid-Cretaceous, the Earth experienced several environmental perturbations,
including an extremely warm climate and Oceanic Anoxic Events (OAEs). Submarine …

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 …

A combined biostratigraphic and palaeoecological study of foraminifera, ostracodes and
microfacies was carried out on the Aptian in the Sítio Sobradinho section of the Araripe …

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 …

The mid-Cretaceous was marked by emplacement of large igneous provinces (LIPs) that
formed gigantic oceanic plateaus, affecting ecosystems on a global scale, with biota forced …

Abstract The Aptian–Albian boundary is marked by one of the major oceanic perturbations
during the Cretaceous, called Oceanic Anoxic Event (OAE) 1b. Extensive volcanic episodes …
