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
Oceanic anoxic events and plankton evolution: Biotic response to tectonic forcing during the mid-Cretaceous
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the link between submarine volcanism, plankton evolution, and the cycling of carbon through the marine biosphere, and concluded that there were important linkages between submarine volcano activity and marine productivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Transient Rise in Tropical Sea Surface Temperature During the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum
James C Zachos,Michael W. Wara,Steven M Bohaty,Margaret Lois Delaney,Maria Rose Petrizzo,Amanda Brill,Timothy J. Bralower,Isabella Premoli-Silva +7 more
TL;DR: Using mixed-layer foraminifera, it is found that the combined proxies imply a 4° to 5°C rise in Pacific SST during the PETM, which would necessitate a rise in atmospheric pCO2 to levels three to four times as high as those estimated for the late Paleocene.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the duration of the Paleocene-Eocene thermal maximum (PETM)
TL;DR: A state-of-the-art age model for the PETM derived from a new orbital chronology developed with cycle stratigraphic records from sites drilled during Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Leg 208 (Walvis Ridge, Southeastern Atlantic) integrated with published records from Site 690 (Weddell Sea, Southern Ocean, ODP Leg 113) as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Warming the fuel for the fire: Evidence for the thermal dissociation of methane hydrate during the Paleocene-Eocene thermal maximum
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present new high-resolution stable isotope records based on analyses of single planktonic and benthic foraminiferal shells from Ocean Drilling Program Site 690.
