Tiny Fossils Reveal Ocean Acidification Triggered Cretaceous Extinction
Northwestern University researchers found strong evidence that ocean acidification, caused by massive volcanic eruptions from the Kerguelen Plateau, triggered a major extinction event for planktic foraminifera around 113 million years ago. Chemical signals in microscopic shells revealed severe stress on shell-building organisms, offering insights into modern ocean changes.
