  2. Polar forests of the Cretaceous - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Polar_forests_of_the_Cretaceous

    By the Late Cretaceous, a temperate climate in both the Northern and Southern hemisphere was ideal for the rapid diversification and distribution of various angiosperms and to a lesser extent, conifers. Studies on the mid-Cretaceous paleorecord conclude that forest compositions in Northern hemisphere high paleolatitudes were mainly populated by ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell_Creek_Formation

    The Hell Creek Formation in Montana overlies the Fox Hills Formation and underlies the Fort Union Formation, and the boundary with the latter occurs near the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary (K–Pg), which defines the end of the Cretaceous period and has been dated to 66 ± 0.07 Ma old. [6]

    The Hell Creek Formation was a low floodplain at the time before the sea retreated, and in the wet ground of the dense woodland, the diversity of angiosperms and conifers were present. An endless diversity of herbaceous flowering plants, ferns and moss grew in the forest understory.

    Araucaria (/ æ r ɔː ˈ k ɛər i ə /; original pronunciation: [a.ɾawˈka.ɾja]) [2] is a genus of evergreen coniferous trees in the family Araucariaceae.While today they are largely confined to the Southern Hemisphere, during the Jurassic and Cretaceous they were globally distributed.

  7. East Gondwana - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Gondwana

    The Cretaceous is characterized by warm global temperatures caused by the high amounts of carbon dioxide and possibly methane greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This caused a lack of permanent ice coverage in the polar regions, though the carbon dioxide level dropped between 115 and 66 million years ago (mya), possibly allowing some permanent ice cover.

  8. Cretaceous Terrestrial Revolution - Wikipedia

    The Cretaceous Terrestrial Revolution (abbreviated KTR), also known as the Angiosperm Terrestrial Revolution (ATR) by authors who consider it to have lasted into the Palaeogene, [1] describes the intense floral diversification of flowering plants (angiosperms) and the coevolution of pollinating insects, as well as the subsequent faunal radiation of frugivorous, nectarivorous and insectivorous ...

    Cheirolepidiaceae (also spelled Cheirolepidaceae) is an extinct family of conifers.They first appeared in the Triassic, and were a diverse and common group of conifers during most of the Mesozoic era, primarily at low latitudes, [1] where they often formed a dominant element of the vegetation.
