We report the Narmada Seaway began in India during largest global sea-level transgression and Oceanic Anoxic Event 2 (OAE2) δ13C excursion late Cenomanian to early Turonian. The progressed eastward Turonian-Coniacian reached Jhilmili by end of Maastrichtian. During this time Godavari Seaways may have joined via Narmada-Tapti rift formed a Trans-India Seaway. history major seaway is entombed fos...

The end-Triassic (?201 Mya) records one of the five largest mass extinction events Phanerozoic. Extinction losses were coincident with large igneous province volcanism in form Central Atlantic Magmatic Province (CAMP) and major carbon isotope excursions (CIEs), suggesting a link between these phenomena. Marine anoxia has been implicated as causal factor crisis, but there remains some uncertaint...

Accurate and precise dating of individual volcanogenic beds that spread across multiple sedimentary successions is a powerful tool to untangle stratigraphic age contradictions, since these horizons are deposited synchronously. In this study, we show that combining apatite chemistry with zircon age, Th/U ratio, and Hf isotope composition leads to reliable lateral correlation of volcanic horizons...
