“…The unlithified ooze intervals have carbonate contents of 96–100 wt % [ Bralower et al ., ]. Based on high‐resolution carbon isotope stratigraphy, the sedimentation rate was estimated to be ~1.3 cm/kyr during the Campanian and Maastrichtian [ Jung et al ., ]. Biozonation is based on planktic foraminifera [ Bralower et al ., ] and calcareous nannofossils [ Lees and Bown , ].…”

“…One of these perturbations was the so‐called Campanian‐Maastrichtian Boundary Event (CMBE) that is characterized by a distinct long‐lasting negative carbon isotope excursion [e.g., Barrera et al ., ] associated with deep and surface water cooling that regionally lagged the onset of the event by up to 600 kyr [ Friedrich et al ., ]. The CMBE has been recorded at different open oceanic sites in the tropical Pacific, Indian, South Atlantic, and Southern Oceans [ Barrera et al ., ; Barrera and Savin , ; Frank and Arthur , ; Friedrich et al ., ; Voigt et al ., ; Jung et al ., ; Thibault et al ., ; Voigt et al ., ], as well as in epicontinental seas surrounding the North Atlantic Ocean [e.g., Odin and Lamaurelle , ; Jarvis et al ., ; Jarvis et al ., ; Voigt et al ., ; Voigt et al ., ]. Slightly younger than the CMBE, the Mid‐Maastrichtian event (MME) marked the termination of the early Maastrichtian cooling trend and was associated with acme occurrences of inoceramids in intermediate water depths prior to the extinction of this group of organisms during the mid‐Maastrichtian [ MacLeod et al ., ].…”

[1] The Pacific Ocean is the largest water body on Earth, and circulation in the Pacific contributed significantly to climate evolution in the latest Cretaceous, the culmination of a period of long-term cooling. Here, we present new high-resolution late Campanian to Maastrichtian benthic and planktic foraminiferal stable isotope data and a neodymium (Nd) isotope record obtained from sedimentary ferromanganese oxide coatings of Ocean Drilling Program Hole 1210B from the tropical Pacific Ocean (Shatsky Rise). These new records resolve 13 million years in the latest Cretaceous, providing insights into changes in surface and bottom water temperatures and source regions of deep to intermediate waters covering the carbon isotope excursions of the Campanian-Maastrichtian Boundary Event (CMBE) and the Mid-Maastrichtian event (MME). Our new benthic foraminiferal δ 18O and Nd isotope records together with published Nd isotope data show markedly parallel trends across the studied interval over a broad range of bathyal to abyssal water depths interpreted to reflect changes in the intensity of deep-ocean circulation in the tropical Pacific. In particular, we observe a three-million-year-long period of cooler conditions in the early Maastrichtian (72.5 to 69.5 Ma) when a concomitant change toward less radiogenic seawater Nd isotope signatures probably marks a period of enhanced admixture and northward flow of deep waters with Southern Ocean provenance. We suggest this change to have been triggered by intensified formation and convection of deep waters in the high southern latitudes, a process that weakened during the MME (69.5 to 68.5 Ma). The early Maastrichtian cold interval is closely related to the negative and positive carbon isotope trends of the CMBE and MME. The millions-of-years long duration of these carbon cycle perturbations suggests a tectonic forcing of climatic cooling, possibly related to changes in ocean basin geometry and bathymetry.

“…The CampanianeMaastrichtian boundary event is a significant interval in global environmental change, as observed in the oceanic record (see Jung, Voigt, & Oliver, 2012;Voigt, Gale, Jung, & Jenkyns, 2012) that was characterized by climatic cooling and sea-level fall. Here, we study the regression that took place around the CampanianeMaastrichtian boundary in the Southern Pyrenees (northeastern Iberia, Ibero-Armorican domain), when fully marine palaeo-environments were replaced by the transitional and continental.…”

Dynamic evolution of the Campanian and Maastrichtian (Upper Cretaceous) of the Miechow Synclinorium is presented. Through chronostratigraphic analysis, the geometry of the Campanian and Maastrichtian of the area is interpreted, while microfacies analysis allowed determination of some of the paleoenvironmental parameters (rate of sedimentation, bottom condition and terrigenous input). The chronostratigraphy is based on inoceramid biostratigraphy. Nine inoceramid zones are recognized: Sphenoceramus patootensiformis, Sphaeroceramus sarumensis-Cataceramus dariensis and ‘Inoceramus’ azerbaydjanensis-‘Inoceramus’ vorhelmensis, ‘Inoceramus’ tenuilineatus, Sphaeroceramus pertenuiformis, ‘Inoceramus’ inkermanensis and ‘Inoceramus’ costaecus- ‘Inoceramus’ redbirdensis (Campanian); Endocostea typica and Trochoceramus radiosus (Maastrichtian). Five unconformities (isochronous in the study area) represented by horizons of slower sedimentation rate, were recognized. They correlate with eustatic sea-level changes, well recorded in European successions (Jarvis et al. 2002, 2006; Niebuhr et al. 2011). Unconformity horizons allow six alloformations to be distinguished. The thickness of particular chronostratigraphic units within the Campanian and Lower Maastrichtian increases progressively toward the axis of the Danish-Polish Trough, which indicates that the inversion of the trough could not have started before the Late Maastrichtian.
