Tectonic forcings of Maastrichtian ocean‐climate evolution [PDF]
Paleoceanography, 1999 A global compilation of deep‐sea isotopic records suggests that Maastrichtian ocean‐climate evolution was technically driven. During the early Maastrichtian the Atlantic intermediate‐deep ocean was isolated from the Pacific, Indian, and Southern Oceans; deep water formed in the high‐latitude North Atlantic and North Pacific.

Deep water in the late Maastrichtian ocean [PDF]
Paleoceanography, 2002 Stable isotopic data from benthic foraminifera indicate the occurrence of at least three deepwater masses in the late Maastrichtian ocean. Given mean oceanic δ18Ow of −1.0‰, the temperature of the coolest intermediate‐depth waters was 5°–7°C, that of the deepest waters was 10°C, and that of the warmest intermediate waters was 13°–15°C.

Maastrichtian ammonites from Balochistan, Pakistan
Journal of Paleontology, 1999 Maastrichtian ammonites are described from two areas in Pakistan. The upper part of the lower unit of the Korara Shale in the southern Pab Range, Kirthar Province, southern Balochistan, is dated as Late Maastrichtian, based on the presence ofMenuites fresvillensis(Seunes, 1890), which is accompanied by abundantIndoceras baluchistanenseNoetling, 1897 ...

Widespread complex enameloid microstructure in teeth and rostral denticles of Cretaceous sclerorhynchoid skates (Rajiformes: †Sclerorhynchoidei). [PDF]
J AnatThis 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 ...

The Osmium Isotope Signature of Phanerozoic Large Igneous Provinces
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 229-246., 2021 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.
