Orbital control on the timing of oceanic anoxia in the Late Cretaceous by S. J. Batenburg, D. De Vleeschouwer, M. Sprovieri, F. J. Hilgen, A. S. Gale, B. S. Singer, C. Koeberl, R. Coccioni, P. Claeys, A. Montanari

“…Volcanism is probably the ultimate driver of oceanic anoxia, but orbital periodicities determine the exact timing of carbon cycle perturbations in the Late Cretaceous. This unites two leading hypotheses about the inception of oceanic anoxia in the Late Cretaceous greenhouse world.…”
