DOI: 10.1016/j.earscirev.2018.02.012
Abstract: Abstract The Cretaceous/Paleogene (K/Pg) boundary is well-represented across a range of depositional settings in New Zealand. Trends in fossil assemblages and marine lithofacies indicate that the K/Pg event was followed by a pronounced and long-term… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.palaeo.2020.110081
Abstract: Abstract Changes in terrestrial environments across the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary, including plant ecology and carbon and water-cycling, remain poorly defined. Fluvial sediments spanning the Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) boundary of southern Saskatchewan, Canada contain well preserved plant wax… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2019gl085572
Abstract: Prolonged periods of low light and cold temperatures at Earth's surface are hypothesized effects of the end‐Cretaceous asteroid impact. However, debate remains about the causes and consequences of this “impact winter.” We perform simulations of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1130/g49214.1
Abstract: Untangling the timing of the environmental effects of Deccan volcanism with respect to the Chicxulub impact is instrumental to fully assessing the contributions of both to climate change over the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary (KPB) interval. Despite… read more here.

DOI: 10.2113/gsjfr.47.3.229
Abstract: As part of an on-going re-assessment of the Cretaceous/ Paleogene boundary in the Brazos River area, Falls County, Texas, a number of new exposures have been described. One of these, at River Bank South, provides… read more here.

No Consistent Shift in Leaf Dry Mass per Area Across the Cretaceous—Paleogene Boundary

DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2022.894690
Abstract: The Chicxulub bolide impact has been linked to a mass extinction of plants at the Cretaceous—Paleogene boundary (KPB; ∼66 Ma), but how this extinction affected plant ecological strategies remains understudied. Previous work in the Williston… read more here.
