paleonet Cretaceous seas...

[Mike Everhart <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,
Can someone point me to research that estimates the amount of the 
earth's surface covered by oceans during the Late Cretaceous?  Currently 
about 71% of the earth's surface is covered, but with no ice caps, high 
sea levels and epicontinental seas encroaching on most continents, it 
had to have been somewhere around 80-85%.
