Anatomy of a global sea level event during the hot greenhouse climate of the dinosaur age
2017-01-12 23:00:00| LifeSciencesWorld
[NEWS] Global sea level change has generally been considered to be a consequence of the growth and decay of continental ice sheets, which would explain large, rapid changes in sea level, even during the extensive periods of global climatic warmth that prevailed during the age of the dinosaurs. However, such a mechanism is difficult to envision during times of the most extreme global warmth such as the Turonian (93.9-89.8 million years ago), when the equator-to-pole temperature gradient was v…
Patagonian fossil leaves reveal rapid recovery from dinosaur extinction event
2016-11-07 13:00:00| LifeSciencesWorld
[NEWS] Ancient feeding marks from hungry insects in South American leaf fossils are shedding new light on the mass extinction that wiped out the dinosaurs. Scientists analyzed insect feeding damage to thousands of leaf fossils from Patagonia, Argentina, over the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary, and found evidence that ecosystems there recovered twice as fast as in the United States. The findings, published today (Nov. 7) in the new journal Nature Ecology & …
