Cretaceous sea-surface temperature evolution: Constraints from TEX86 and planktonic foraminiferal oxygen isotopes

open access: yesEarth-Science Reviews, 2017
It is well established that greenhouse conditions prevailed during the Cretaceous Period (~ 145–66 Ma). Determining the exact nature of the greenhouse-gas forcing, climatic warming and climate sensitivity remains, however, an active topic of research ...

Extinction at the end-Cretaceous and the origin of modern Neotropical rainforests

Science, 2021
The birth of modern rainforests The origin of modern rainforests can be traced to the aftermath of the bolide impact at the end of the Cretaceous. Carvalho et al.

Cretaceous

2018
The Cretaceous evolution of sedimentary basins in Central Europe was influenced by the interplay of two main processes: plate tectonics and eustatic sea-level change. Global plate-tectonic reconfiguration resulted in the widening of the Central Atlantic, the opening of the Bay of Biscay, and the opening of the South Atlantic Ocean causing a counter ...

Cretaceous Dinosaur Extinction

Evolution, 1968
The reign of dinosaurs, dominant on land for about 150 million years, terminated at the close of the Cretaceous. They did not all disappear at precisely the same moment, but from a peak of about 120 genera near the middle of the period, dwindled in numbers down to the end of Cretaceous at which time a large number of genera became extinct (Newell, 1962;

Eastward tectonic migration and transition of the Jurassic-Cretaceous Andean-type continental margin along Southeast China

Earth-Science Reviews, 2019
A Mesozoic Andean-type active continental margin is believed to have developed along the Southeast China continental margin, which has been investigated in detail.

Cretaceous

Geological Society, London, Memoirs, 1992
Abstract Early Cretaceous The Cretaceous Period lasted for about 70 million years. During this time there was a major change in the sedimentary history of the area as tectonism died down and deposition started of an extensive blanket of coccolith ooze: the Chalk.

The Cretaceous-Paleogene Mexican orogen: Structure, basin development, magmatism and tectonics

Earth-Science Reviews, 2017
The Mexican orogen is the expression in Mexico of the Cordilleran orogenic system. The orogen extends the length of Mexico, a distance of 2000 km from the state of Sonora in the northwest to the state of Oaxaca in the south.

The Late Cretaceous tectonic evolution of the South China Sea area: An overview, and new perspectives from 3D seismic reflection data

Earth-Science Reviews, 2018
The Late Cretaceous is a significant geologic period in the South China Sea area, as it marks the tectonic transition from the early Paleo-Pacific Plate subduction to the subsequent Cenozoic rifting related to the opening of the SCS.
