The Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary and its 405-kyr eccentricity cycle phase: a new constraint on radiometric dating and astrochronology

Abstract: Radiometric dating and astrochronologic dating still suffer discrepancies without knowing which one gives the most reliable results. A new tool is proposed to constrain both the approaches. The phase of the 405-kyr signal with respect to the Cretaceous -Paleogene boundary event has been determined in the Aïn Settara section (Kalaat Senan, central Tunisia). We use this phase value (Option 2), as well as an average of phase values obtained from the literature (Option 1), to examine the relationship linking both … Show more

“…It seems that M. prinsii first occurred in lower palaeolatitudes and then migrated poleward and back, depending on climate shifts. Therefore, the timespan of the latest Maastrichtian calcareous nannoplankton zone differs between palaeolatitudes, ranging from 220 Kyr to 1.2 Myr (see Hennebert, 2012Hennebert, , 2014Thibault and Husson, 2016). Remarkably, Burnett (1998) used this species as an index nannofossil for the Tethys, hence, its occurrence out of that province or at its marginal part can be ephemeral, depending on climate warming and/or the inflow of warm, tropical water masses.…”
