Large Igneous Province Record Through Time and Implications for Secular Environmental Changes and Geological Time‐Scale Boundaries

open access: yesGeophysical Monograph Series, Page 1-26., 2021

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact

An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Earth’s Orbital Control on Organic Matter Enrichment in the Black Shales of the Wufeng–Longmaxi Formation in the Upper Yangtze Region, South China

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2022
China’s most successful horizon for shale-gas exploration and development is the Upper Ordovician Wufeng Formation through the Lower Silurian Longmaxi Formation in its Upper Yangtze Region. In this study, the Wufeng–Longmaxi Formation black shales in the

Geological field characteristic of the Kroh Formation in the Upper Perak shales, western Peninsula Malaysia

open access: yesJournal of Natural Gas Geoscience, 2020
Unconventional hydrocarbon resource has become an interesting field of study; specially for its source rocks which can also be turned into excellent reservoirs to generate and accumulation hydrocarbons. Exploration and production from fine-grained rocks,

Trace metal geochemistry of metalliferous black shales in the Mamfe basin (South West Cameroon): Implication for heavy metal assessment

open access: yesScientific African, 2022
This study is focused on assessing the contamination levels of heavy metal elements (Cu, Cd, Cr, Ni, and Zn) in black metalliferous shales of the Mamfe basin in South Western Cameroon and identifying the possible pollution sources. Forty (40) black shale

Volcanism‐Triggered Climatic Control on Late Cretaceous Oceans

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022
During the Late Cretaceous, Earth's climate oscillated between warm and cool states, and global oceans changed between anoxic and oxic conditions, resulting in black/gray shales and oceanic red beds (ORBs) deposition, respectively.

Mineralogical, petrographical, geochemical, diageneses and provenance of the Cretaceous Black Shales, Duwi Formation at Quseir-Safaga, Red Sea, Egypt

open access: yesEgyptian Journal of Petroleum, 2017
The Duwi Formation in the Quseir-Safaga area is conformably overlain by the Quseir variegated shales and underlain by the Dakhla shales. Detailed mineralogical and geochemical studies were carried out on the middle member of the black shales of the Duwi ...

Methane seepage in a Cretaceous greenhouse world recorded by an unusual carbonate deposit from the Tarfaya Basin, Morocco [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
During the Cretaceous major episodes of oceanic anoxic conditions triggered large scale deposition of marine black shales rich in organic carbon. Several oceanic anoxic events (OAEs) have been documented including the Cenomanian to Turonian OAE 2, which ...
