1A multiple proxy and model study of Cretaceous upper ocean temperatures and atmospheric CO2 concentrations
We estimate tropical Atlantic upper ocean temperatures using oxygen isotope and Mg/Ca ratios in well-preserved planktonic foraminifera extracted from Albian through Santonian black shales recovered during Ocean Drilling Program Leg 207 (North Atlantic Demerara Rise). Based on a range of plausible as...
