Journal ArticleDOI
Coastal landsliding and catastrophic sedimentation triggered by Cretaceous-Tertiary bolide impact: A Pacific margin example?
TL;DR: The first recognized Pacific margin stratigraphic sequence containing evidence for catastrophic landsliding attributed to bolide impact-related seismic shocking at the Cretaceous-Tertiary (K-T) boundary was reported in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
When the dust settles: stable xenon isotope constraints on the formation of nuclear fallout.
William S. Cassata,S. G. Prussin,Kim B. Knight,Ian D. Hutcheon,Brett H. Isselhardt,Paul R. Renne +5 more
TL;DR: Xenon isotopes provide a window into the chemical composition of the fireball in the seconds that follow a nuclear explosion, thereby improving the understanding of the physical and thermo-chemical conditions under which fallout forms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Constraints on the volume and rate of Deccan Traps flood basalt eruptions using a combination of high-resolution terrestrial mercury records and geochemical box models
Isabel Fendley,Tushar Mittal,Courtney J. Sprain,Mark Marvin-DiPasquale,Thomas S. Tobin,Paul R. Renne,Paul R. Renne +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a box model to estimate the amount of mercury released by Deccan Traps continental flood basalt eruptions, which spanned the Cretaceous-Paleogene mass extinction, erupting over a million cubic kilometers of basalt over a total duration of approximately a million years.
Journal ArticleDOI
Accessory mineral U–Th–Pb ages and 40Ar/39Ar eruption chronology, and their bearing on rhyolitic magma evolution in the Pleistocene Coso volcanic field, California
Justin I. Simon,Jorge A. Vazquez,Paul R. Renne,Axel K. Schmitt,Charles R. Bacon,Mary R. Reid +5 more
TL;DR: The authors used ion-microprobe dating of crystal ages of zircon and allanite from these lavas and from granophyre geothermal well cuttings to track the range of magma-production rates over the past 650 ka at Coso.
Journal ArticleDOI
40Ar/39Ar dating in paleoanthropology and archeology
TL;DR: The conventional K‐Ar technique has given way to 40Ar/39Ar dating as the method of preference, which is not only more precise and accurate when dating ideal materials, but also permits excellent ages to be obtained from situations that often stymie the conventional K-Ar technique, such as dating of contaminated tuffs and altered rocks.
