Description

Special Publication 544

This title is a work in progress. Selected articles are available online from the Lyell Collection.

The Cretaceous was first mentioned in the legend of a geological map, largely centred on France, published in 1822 by Jean Baptiste Julien d’Omalius d’Halloy. Two hundred years of research have demonstrated that the Cretaceous records some of the highest sea levels, atmospheric temperatures and extreme events in Earth history. It was also a time of significant palaeogeographical changes and continental fragmentation. This volume draws together a collection of papers that demonstrate these particularly Cretaceous events of warm climates, sea-level change and the impact of major volcanic events on the fauna and flora of the time. Geochemical and stable isotope data are used to interpret these changing environments and their impact on the Cretaceous ecosystem. The volume closes with a description of the recent drilling of the Chicxulub bolide impact site.
