Lower Cretaceous pelagic sediments deposited in the Central Tethys Ocean and along its
southern continental margin and outcropping in the Swiss and Italian Alps were chosen for a …

The stratigraphic record from both deep‐sea and shallow‐water depositional environments
indicates that during late Aptian through Cenomanian time (1) global climates were …

A common feature of records of the early Aptian oceanic anoxic event (OAE) 1a is the sharp
negative δ13C excursion displayed in both carbonate and organic matter at the onset of this …

A decrease of up to 3°/oo in the δ13 C values of planktic skeletons has been systematically
observed across the Cretaceous/Tertiary boundary; the benthic skeletons show no …

Today's disturbance of the global carbon cycle induced by anthropogenic processes has
raised new interest in the history of the global carbon cycle and its relationship to climate …

Episodes of widespread distribution of organic-rich marine facies within relatively narrow
stratigraphic intervals have been interpreted as Oceanic Anoxic Events (OAEs). There are a …

In this study we investigate if a major perturbation of the Early Cretaceous carbon cycle was
accompanied by altered weathering and erosion rates. The large Aptian carbon isotope …

Abstract Mesozoic Oceanic Anoxic Events (OAEs) are expressions of major physical
oceanographic changes at times of perturbation of the global carbon cycle. A northern …

Carbonaceous sediments of Early to Middle Cretaceous age are common to sedimentary
sequences of the Tethys region now exposed in Alpine Mountain belts. Barremian through …

The carbon isotope record in four pelagic carbonate sections from the Southern Alps
(northern Italy) across the Jurassic‐Cretaceous boundary has been correlated to …
