Lots of carbon was injected into the atmosphere somehow, and global temperatures went up, but ocean levels dropped? So, moisture (water) was being locked up somewhere else?

The dinosaurs got intelligent, did the same thing we are doing and destroyed the environment. ;-) Scientists now estimate that somewhere between 1500 and 4500 billion metric tonnes of carbon was released into the atmosphere and oceans over several thousand years.
