Short summary
Recent work has shown that the mid-Cretaceous Oceanic Anoxic Event 2 (OAE2, ∼ 94 million years ago) was associated with a global increase in precipitation, but regional patterns are still poorly known. We present two new OAE2 records from the ancient inner continental shelf of North Carolina, USA. These cores show an increase in the amount of land-plant-derived organic matter delivered to the inner shelf during OAE2, indicating that this region experienced increased precipitation during OAE2.
