Short summary
At the end of the Cretaceous period, massive volcanism in India emitted enough carbon dioxide into the atmosphere to warm the climate globally above an already warm background state. We reconstruct late Cretaceous seawater temperatures much warmer than today using the chemistry of fossil oysters from the modern-day Netherlands and Belgium. Covariations in temperature and water chemistry indicate changing ocean circulation patterns, potentially related to fluctuating sea level in this region.
