The paradox of drowned carbonate platforms and the origin of Cretaceous Pacific guyots

Geochemical, stratigraphic and palaeolatitudinal data from deep boreholes drilled through Pacific guyots—flat-topped seamounts—help to explain the drowning of these Cretaceous shallow-water carbonate platforms that once thrived through the accumulation of biogenic and inorganic calcium carbonate sed...
