TL;DR: Formation of the OJP may have led to a rise in sea level that induced global oceanic anoxia and carbon dioxide emissions likely contributed to the mid-Cretaceous greenhouse climate but did not provoke major biologic extinctions.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare the record, timing, and extent of Oceanic Anoxic Events (OAEs) in Mexico and other areas, and determine the relationship between these events and the global burial of organic material using carbon isotopes.

TL;DR: An expanded and largely complete upper Paleocene to upper Eocene section was recovered from the pelagic cap overlying Allison Guyot, Mid-Pacific Mountains at Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Site 865 (18o26'N, 179o33'W; paleodepth 1300-1500 m).
