“…The opening of the critical N-S Equatorial Atlantic Seaway coincided with a change from an "eddy ocean" to a "thermohaline ocean" [78]. Evidence for this change is provided by North Atlantic nannofossils which evolved from homogeneous Cenomanian distributions with cosmopolitan ranges to heterogeneous Turonian distributions with restricted ranges [40].…”

“…Extensive mid-ocean ridge formation, high crustal heat flow and rapid ocean basin expansion [15]; 5. Major change in ocean circulation from eddy-dominant with widespread cosmopolitan biogeography in the Cenomanian to thermohaline with restricted marine biogeographic zones in the Turonian [40]; 6. Highest sea levels of the Mesozoic with development of major, multiple epicontinental seas, some serving as gateways (e.g., the Western Interior Seaway connecting the tropical Atlantic with polar Arctic) [16,41] and 7.…”

“…Some studies regarding different methods have also pointed late Turonian cooling water (e.g. Voigt, 2000;Voigt and Wiese, 2000;Lees, 2002;Wiese and Voigt, 2002;Forster et al, 2007;Kosták and Wiese, 2011;Linnert et al, 2011). A few minor episodes of cooling water were recorded in the late Turonian/early Coniacian interval (Wells 1-RSS-2 and 1-SCS-3B) as well as another one in the late Coniacian (Well 1-SCS-3B), suggesting a prevalence of warm-water conditions with some cooling water events amid.…”

“…Based on calcareous nannofossil abundance (Bice et al, 2006;Forster et al, 2007;Voigt et al, 2004;Wilson et al, 2002;Linnert et al, 2011), it is known that between Turonian to Maastrichtian times, there was a continuous cooling of seawater, preceded by one of the warmest periods of the Phanerozoic (early Cenomanian -Turonian). In this scenario, global temperatures decreased between 4 -6 °C during the late Campanian (73 -70 Ma) (Li and Keller, 1999).…”
