“…It is worth noting, however, that mid-Maastrichtian environmental perturbations related to changes in the source region of intermediate and/or deep-water masses were originally postulated by MacLeod (1994) and and invoked as a possible cause for the extinction among inoceramids, which is found to be diachronous across latitudes Nifuku et al, 2009). However, in all sites examined by , the extinction of inoceramids is preceded by a negative excursion of benthic foraminiferal δ 13 C values falling within magnetic chron C31R (where magnetostratigraphic data are available).…”

The ~35 myr-long Late Cretaceous greenhouse climate has been subjected to a number of studies with emphasis on the Cenomanian-Turonian and late Campanian-Maastrichtian intervals. By contrast, far less information is available for the Turonian-early Campanian interval, even though it encompasses the transition out of the extreme warmth of the Cenomanian-Turonian greenhouse climate optimum and includes a ~3 myr-long mid-Coniacian-mid-Santonian interval when planktonic foraminifera underwent a large-scale, but poorly understood, turnover. This study presents ~1350 δ 18 O and δ 13 C values of well-preserved benthic and planktonic foraminifera and of the <63 μm size fraction from the Exmouth Plateau off Australia (eastern Indian Ocean). These data provide: (i) the most continuous, highly resolved and stratigraphically well-constrained record of long-term trends in Late Cretaceous oxygen-and carbon-isotope ratios from the southern mid-latitudes, and (ii) new information on the paleoecological preferences of planktonic foraminiferal taxa. The results indicate persistent warmth from the early Turonian until the mid-Santonian, cooling from the mid-Santonian through the mid-Campanian, and short-term climatic variability during the late Campanian-Maastrichtian. Moreover, our results suggest the cause of Coniacian-Santonian turnover among planktonic foraminifera may have been the evolution of a temperature/salinity-tolerant genus (Marginotruncana) and the cause of the Santonian-early Campanian extinction of Dicarinella and Marginotruncana may have been surface-ocean cooling and competition with globotruncanids.

“…Nevertheless, it is likely that these discrepancies are partly the result of true migration patterns across latitudes and different oceanic basins, controlled by the high climate variability of the late Campanian-Maastrichtian interval. Strongly diachronic succession and ages of late Campanian-Maastrichtian calcareous plankton bio-horizons have already been interpreted as the expression of climatically induced migration patterns between Tethyan, Transitional and Austral provinces (Huber and Watkins 1992;Nifuku et al 2009;Thibault et al 2010;Thibault et al 2012a). This potential mechanism must be acknowledged, thoroughly assessed and quantified in the Late Cretaceous because many studies use calcareous plankton biochronology to build their age-models.…”

The rhythmically bedded limestone-marl alternations in the coastal cliffs of Sopelana and Zumaia in the Basque country, northern Spain, permit testing and refining of existing Maastrichtian chronologies (latest Cretaceous). The recently established astronomical time scale for the late Maastrichtian at Zumaia is extended into C31n with the integrated stratigraphy of the Sopelana section. The cyclic alternations of hemipelagic limestones and marls at Sopelana show a strong influence of eccentricity-modulated precession. Together, the Zumaia and Sopelana sections span almost the entire Maastrichtian, and encompass thirteen 405kyr cycles, spanning a total duration of 5.3Myr. From the K/Pg boundary downwards, 405kyr minima in the lithological, magnetic susceptibility and reflectance data records are tuned to successive 405kyr minima in the new La2011 eccentricity solution. Assuming a K/Pg boundary age of 65.97Ma, we present orbitally tuned ages of biostratigraphic and magnetostratigraphic events. While the bases of Chrons C29r and C30n were reliably established at Zumaia and are in good agreement with previous studies, new data from Sopelana provide a refinement of the basal age of Chron C31r. Additional planktonic foraminifera and calcareous nannoplankton data from Zumaia, and new calcareous nannoplankton data from Sopelana allow for worldwide correlation of the cyclostratigraphy of the Basque country.

“…Poleward migration of several low-latitude planktonic foraminifers occurred during the early-late Maastrichtian transition (Huber and Watkins, 1992). The highlatitude calcareous nannofossil species Nephrolithus frequens migrated from the Southern Ocean to the North Atlantic, the North Pacifi c, and the Tethys during the Maastrichtian (Pospichal and Wise, 1990;Nifuku et al, 2008).…”

Micula murus is one of the main calcareous nannofossil biostratigrapic markers of Tethyan and Intermediate provinces in the upper Maastrichtian (uppermost Cretaceous). A review of its fi rst occurrence at 14 deep-sea sites and sections shows that it is time transgressive from the Tropical Realm of the Atlantic and Pacifi c Oceans to the intermediate latitudes of the North Atlantic, South Atlantic, Indian Ocean, and the northern Tethys. M. murus remained confi ned to the Tropical Realm for ~1.2 m.y. in the early-late Maastrichtian, thus supporting high-latitudinal thermal gradients. It subsequently spread out in the late Maastrichtian to temperate latitudes and to the Tethys in coincidence with the onset of a thermohaline circulation change ca. 67.5 Ma, suggesting a major change in surface-water circulation and interocean communications.
