Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Widespread complex enameloid microstructure in teeth and rostral denticles of Cretaceous sclerorhynchoid skates (Rajiformes: †Sclerorhynchoidei). [PDF]
This article demonstrates that the teeth and rostral denticles of an extinct clade of sawfish‐like skates display an extremely derived enameloid microstructure, similar to what is known among sharks. The presence of tooth‐like enameloid microstructure in dermal denticles opens new perspectives about the origins and development of chondrichthyan ...

Lower sea levels in the Middle Cenomanian
It has been known since the 1970's that the relatively high sea levels during the Cenomanian in southern England and northern France were interrupted by a strong fall in sea level early in the Middle Cenomanian.

Basin margin evolution of rift basins is not always well constrained. In the northeastern margin of the Basque-Cantabrian Basin, a revision of a carbonate succession permits deciphering the transition from synto post-rift phases in the poorly studied ...

Lower and Middle Cenomanian ammonites from the Morondava Basin, Madagascar [PDF]
Lower and Middle Cenomanian ammonite assemblages have been collected on a bed-by-bed basis from localities at Vohipaly and Mahaboboka, Madagascar, as well as from outcrops around Berekata, all in the Morondava Basin, southwest Madagascar.

The Oceanic Anoxic Event 2, at the Cenomanian-Turonian boundary (∼93.9 Ma), was an episode of widespread burial of organic matter in marine sediments, underlined by a positive carbon-isotope (δ13C) excursion observed worldwide.

This review briefly outlines the historical background to the subdivision of the Chalk and the Upper Cretaceous in the Anglo-Paris Basin and contiguous areas, leading up to the introduction of the etage cenomanien in 1848, and the subsequent attempts to develop a zonal subdivision of the stage.

Latitudinal differences in the amplitude of the OAE-2 carbon isotopic excursion : pCO2 and paleo productivity [PDF]
A complete, well-preserved record of the Cenomanian/Turonian (C/T) Oceanic Anoxic Event 2 (OAE-2) was recovered from Demerara Rise in the southern North Atlantic Ocean (ODP site 1260).
