The data presented here in terms of the differential nature of hiatus patterns in the deep-sea and neritic environment, the selective nature of pre-K/T species extinctions, and the elimination of all deep- and inte~mediate-dwelling planktic foraminifera at the K/T boundary all point toward sealevel change as a major contributor, if not causal factor. The late Maastrichtian sea level regression reached a maximum just before the K/T boundary, followed by a rapid transgression into the earliest Tertiary (Figure 4.31.
