Enhanced organic carbon burial in the Songliao paleo-lake of northeastern China facilitated Late Cretaceous global cooling

Organic carbon (OC) burial represents a major long-term sink in the global carbon cycle; however, the role of continental lakes in regulating the deep-time carbon cycle and climate remains poorly constrained. The Songliao Basin in northeastern China developed into one of the world’s largest lake systems during the Late...
