The Chicxulub Asteroid Impact and Mass Extinction at the Cretaceous-Paleogene Boundary

TL;DR: Records of the global stratigraphy across this boundary are synthesized to assess the proposed causes of the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary and conclude that the Chicxulub impact triggered the mass extinction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Deep-sea paleotemperature record of extreme warmth during the Cretaceous

TL;DR: Oxygen isotope analyses of well-preserved foraminifera from Blake Nose (30°N paleolatitude, North Atlantic) and globally distributed deep-sea sites provide a long-term paleotemperature record for the late Albian-Maastrichtian interval that is difficult to reconcile with the existence of significant Cretaceous ice sheets as discussed by the authors.
BookDOI

Catastrophic events and mass extinctions : impacts and beyond

TL;DR: In this article, a 2m thick boundary clay (KTB) layer was found in Moncada, western Cuba, which is considered to have been located on the slope along the southeastern margin of Yucatan Peninsula during the latest Cretaceous.
BookDOI

Warm Climates in Earth History

TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison of zonal temperature profiles for past warm time periods is presented, with the case of the early Eocene and the absence of polar ice caps, respectively.
