Twenty-five years ago, Mesozoic oceanic anoxic events (OAEs) were documented and
formalised as intervals of widespread to global deposition of organic matter. The Toarcian …

During the Early Toarcian of the Jurassic Period (~ 182 million years ago), Earth
experienced a rapid and severe disturbance in the global carbon cycle associated with …

The Early Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event (T-OAE), about 183myr ago, was a global event of
environmental and carbon cycle perturbations, which deeply affected both marine biota and …

The Aalenian was a time marked by profound environmental and carbon cycle changes.
Still, the scarcity of detailed studies hinders a better understanding of the triggering …

The timing and causal relationships between the pronounced negative C isotope excursion
and paleoenvironmental perturbations associated with the Toarcian oceanic anoxic event …

Carbonate platforms changed substantially in spatial extent, geometry, composition and
palaeogeographical distribution through the Phanerozoic. Although reef construction and …

The Early Toarcian mass extinction marks one of the critical events in the history of the Earth.
Many of these events have been linked to important climate changes. Two sections of the …

During the Early Jurassic, cyst-forming dinoflagellates began a long-term radiation that
would portend ecological importance of these taxa in the pelagic plankton community …

The Early Toarcian is marked by a global perturbation of the carbon cycle and major marine
biological changes. These coincide with a general decrease in calcium carbonate …

In this account we present estimates of nannofossil fluxes in four sections and one borehole
all belonging to the Early Jurassic western Tethys. This study aims to map the distribution of …
