Mid-Cretaceous pCO(2) based on stomata of the extinct conifer Pseudofrenelopsis (Cheirolepidiaceae)
Stomatal characteristics of an extinct Cretaceous conifer, Pseudofrenelopsis parceramosa (Fontaine) Watson, are used to reconstruct atmospheric carbon dioxide (pCO2) over a time previously inferred to exhibit major fluctuations in this greenhouse gas. Samples are from nonmarine to marine strata of t...
