| Summary: | This volume covers new developments and research on mass extinctions, volcanism and impacts. It addresses the Central Iapetus magmatic province, thermogenic degassing in large igneous provinces, global mercury enrichment in Valanginian sediments, Guerrero-Morelos carbonate platform response to the Caribbean-Colombian Cretaceous large igneous province, implications for the Cretaceous-Paleocene boundary event in shallow platform environments and correlation to the deep sea, environmental effects of Deccan volcanism on biotic transformations and attendant Cretaceous/Paleogene boundary mass extinction in the Indian subcontinent, Deccan red boles and factors leading to the collapse of producers during the Chicxulub impact and Deccan Traps eruptions. |
