Extinction at the end-Cretaceous and the origin of modern Neotropical rainforests
Science, 2021The 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.

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 Jurassic and significant widening in Cretaceous. An explosion of calcareous nannoplankton and foraminifers in the warm seas created massive chalk deposits.

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 ...

The Cretaceous-Tertiary Transition [PDF]
Science, 1983 The fossil sequences from cores across the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary show a range of transition times and transition time intervals depending on the fossil indicators and the location of the site. These variations, together with the pattern of iridium distribution with depth at some sites, differences in total amounts of iridium, variations in noble

Late Cretaceous and paroxysmal Cretaceous/Tertiary extinctions
Nature, 1987The various geological signatures at Cretaceous/ Tertiary time including iridium and other associated elements, microspherules, and shock deformation features are compatible with the suggestion that the transition is marked by a period of intense volcanism.

Cretaceous Dinosaur Extinction
Evolution, 1968The 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;

Response—Cretaceous Extinctions
Science, 2010The Letters by Archibald et al. , Keller et al. , and Courtillot and Fluteau question our conclusion that the Cretaceous-Paleogene mass extinction was caused by the asteroid impact at Chicxulub.
