Marine strata deposited during late Cenomanian and early Turonian time display lithological,
faunal, and geochemical characteristics which indicate that significant parts of the world …

Organic carbon-rich sediments are globally developed in pelagic sedimentary sequences of
Aptian-Albian and Cenomanian-Turonian age. They formed in a variety of paleo-…

Correlation of the δ 13 C spike with the well dated occurrences of strata rich in organic
carbon detailed in Schlanger et al. (this volume), indicates that a global episode of intense …

Large amounts of organic carbon were deposited and preserved in marine sediments of late
Barremian through middle Albian and late Cenomanian-early Turanian age owing to the …

Recovery of long sequences of cores, at Deep Sea Drilling Project sites, from Recent to
Upper Jurassic pelagic ooze‐chalk‐limestone sections has shown that in general lithification …

The Cretaceous is characterized by unusually widespread distribution of “black shales”--
sequences of variable lithology containing numerous beds with organic-carbon (OC) contents …

The dominance of volcanic processes and the importance of vertical tectonics in the geological
evolution of the Pacific Basin has been recognised since the time of Charles Darwin. …

The stratigraphic record from both deep‐sea and shallow‐water depositional environments
indicates that during late Aptian through Cenomanian time (1) global climates were …

Normal marine deposition in the early Aptian was interrupted by an episode of ocean-wide
dysoxia/anoxia. This event is recorded by the occurrence of organic carbon-rich sediments in …

Geological and geophysical studies along the entire length of the Line Islands were undertaken
in order to test the hot spot model for the origin of this major linear island chain. Volcanic …
