Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

Cretaceous Research focuses on the paleontology and paleoenvironmental studies of the Cretaceous period. Research includes the taxonomy and phylogeny of fossil invertebrates, particularly ammonites, and the analysis of vertebrate remains. Paleoenvironmental reconstructions are based on isotopic analysis of fossil tissues and sedimentary organic matter, examining factors such as marine ecosystems, carbon cycle perturbations, and redox conditions.
