Scientist Uses Tracer To Predict Ancient Ocean Circulation

Measuring a chemical tracer in samples of ancient fish scales, bones and teeth, researchers have studied circulation in the Late Cretaceous North Atlantic Ocean. The Late Cretaceous was a time with high atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide and warm temperatures. Understanding such ancient greenhouse climates is important for predicting what may happen in the future. The new findings contradict some previous models.
