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.

Stripping back the modern to reveal the Cenomanian–Turonian climate and temperature gradient underneath [PDF]
During past geological times, the Earth experienced several intervals of global warmth, but their driving factors remain equivocal. A careful appraisal of the main processes controlling past warm events is essential to inform future climates and ...

Middle Cenomanian coral fauna from the Roßsteinalmen (Northern Calcareous Alps, Bavaria, Southern Germany) – a revised and extended version [PDF]
In the Northern Calcareous Alps, relics of a formerly widely distributed shallow marine facies belonging to the Branderfleck Formation (upper Albian to lower Turonian) crop out and contain locally abundant corals.

Pseudorhapydionininae of the Iberian Ranges (Cenomanian, Iberian Peninsula)
Pseudorhapydionina laurinensis, P. dubia, P. anglonensis and Pseudorhipidionina casertana (Subfamily Pseudorhapydionininae) from the Iberian Range are restudied. The age of the deposits containing these species is late Cenomanian.

Cenomanian-Turonian flooding cycles: U.S. Gulf Coast and Western Interior
Cenomanian-Turonian ages, 100.5 Ma to 89.8 Ma, represented an extraordinary Cretaceous time interval when continental seaways expanded, tropical waters interchanged with Polar waters, global climates warmed, and at the end of the Cenomanian large amounts

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.
