Previous time scales for the Cenomanian-Turonian boundary (CTB) interval containing Oceanic Anoxic Event II (OAE II) vary by a factor of three. In this paper we present a new orbital time scale for…
Miocene evolution of atmospheric carbon dioxide

- 1 June 1999
Changes in pCO2 or ocean circulation are generally invoked to explain warm early Miocene climates and a rapid East Antarctic ice sheet (EAIS) expansion in the middle Miocene. This study reconstructs…

- S. O. Schlanger, M. Arthur, H. Jenkyns, P. Scholle
- Environmental Science, GeographyGeological Society Special Publication
- 1987
Summary Marine strata deposited during late Cenomanian and early Turonian time display lithological, faunal, and geochemical characteristics which indicate that significant parts of the world ocean…
Carbon Isotope Fluctuations in Cretaceous Pelagic Limestones: Potential Stratigraphic and Petroleum Exploration Tool
- P. Scholle, M. Arthur
- Geography, Environmental Science
- 1980
Significant short-term carbon isotope fluctuations are present in Cretaceous pelagic limestones from widely distributed onshore sections in the Circum-Atlantic-western Tethyan region. More than 1,000…

Marine Shales: Depositional Mechanisms and Environments of Ancient Deposits
- M. Arthur, B. Sageman
- Geology
- 1994
Organic-carbon-rich strata or "black shales," including dark gray to black, laminated, carbonaceous mudrocks characterized by impoverished benthonic faunas, or devoid of metazoan life, have long…
Geochemical and climatic effects of increased marine organic carbon burial at the Cenomanian/Turonian boundary
Perhaps the most significant event in the Cretaceous record of the carbon isotope composition of carbonate1,2, other than the 1–2.5 ‰ negative shift in the carbon isotope composition of calcareous…
The Cenomanian-Turonian Oceanic Anoxic Event, II. Palaeoceanographic controls on organic-matter production and preservation
- M. Arthur, S. O. Schlanger, H. Jenkyns
- Environmental Science, GeographyGeological Society Special Publication
- 1987
Summary Correlation of the δ13C spike with the well dated occurrences of strata rich in organic carbon detailed in Schlanger et al. (this volume), indicates that a global episode of intense organic…
