The evolution of the Early Cretaceous, northern Tethyan carbonate platform was not only influenced by changes in sea level, detrital influx, and surface water temperature but also trophic levels. We distinguish between phases production dominated oligotrophic photozoan communities mesotrophic eventually colder‐water heterozoan communities. Superimposed on this bimodal trend were demise for which we provide improved age control based ammonite biostratigraphy. initial phase these episodes...

Palaeoenvironmental and palaeoclimatic changes during the Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event (T-OAE) are reported from two successions deposited in Andean Basin (Chile), based on a high-resolution biostratigraphic (calcareous nannofossils), sedimentological, mineralogical geochemical analysis. A large negative carbon-isotope excursion was identified lower storm-dominated marl–limestone alternation, underlining global extent of carbon-cycle perturbation occurrence episodic high-energy conditions...

The Triassic‐Jurassic boundary mass‐extinction event (T‐J; 199.6 Ma) is associated with major perturbations in the carbon cycle recorded stable isotopes. Two rapid negative isotope excursions bulk organic ( δ 13 C org ) occur within immediate interval at multiple locations and have been linked to outgassing of 12 C‐enriched CO 2 from Central Atlantic Magmatic Province. In British Columbia, a positive excursion +5‰ (Vienna Peedee belemnite (V‐PDB)) spans part or all subsequent Hettangian...
Abstract The Valanginian stage (Early Cretaceous) includes an episode of significant environmental changes, which are well defined by a positive δ 13 C excursion. This globally recorded excursion indicates important perturbations in the carbon cycle, has tentatively been associated with pulse volcanic activity and formation Paraná-Etendeka large igneous province (LIP). Uncertainties existing age models preclude, however, its identification as trigger changes. Here we report that sediments...
Abstract The early Aptian recorded one of the most significant episodes environmental change during Mesozoic—the Selli oceanic anoxic episode (OAE 1a). It has often been suggested that magmatic activity related to emplacement Greater Ontong Java large igneous province (LIP) triggered OAE 1a. A major challenge, however, resides in establishment precise temporal relationships between perturbations associated with 1a and phases volcanic activity. In this study we evaluate potential mercury (Hg)...
