Short summary
During the Aptian–Albian interval of the Cretaceous, Earth's climate changed significantly due to volcanism, atmospheric shifts, and reorganised ocean circulation. These changes influenced marine sediments, especially reddish Cretaceous oceanic red beds (CORBs), which reflect intervals of deep-ocean oxygenation. This study analysed sediment cores from ODP Site 1049 (North Atlantic) to determine when CORBs formed and whether similar patterns occurred in other basins, such as the Tethys.
