Toarcian oceanic anoxic event: An assessment of global causes using belemnite C isotope records [PDF]
Two hypotheses have been proposed to explain simultaneous large negative excursions (up to 7% PeeDee belemnite) in bulk carbonate (delta(13)C(carb)) and organic carbon isotope records (delta(13)C(org)) from black shales marking the Toarcian oceanic ...

Palaeoenvironments and palaeoceanography changes across the Jurassic/Cretaceous boundary in the Arctic realm: case study of the Nordvik section (north Siberia, Russia) [PDF]
The Jurassic/Cretaceous transition was accompanied by significant changes in palaeoceanography and palaeoenvironments in the Tethyan Realm, but outside the Tethys such data are very scarce.

Organic geochemistry of the early Toarcian oceanic anoxic event in Hawsker Bottoms, Yorkshire, England [PDF]
A comprehensive organic geochemical investigation of the Hawsker Bottoms outcrop section in Yorkshire, England has provided new insights about environmental conditions leading into and during the Toarcian oceanic anoxic event (T-OAE; ~183 Ma).

Engineering the Cambrian explosion: the earliest bioturbators as ecosystem engineers [PDF]
By applying modern biological criteria to trace fossil types and assessing burrow morphology, complexity, depth, potential burrow function and the likelihood of bioirrigation, we assign ecosystem engineering impact (EEI) values to the key ichnotaxa in ...

Conellae, enigmatic structures on cephalopod shells—shapes, distribution, and formation [PDF]
Conellae, enigmatic cone-shaped structures which can be found on the surface of internal moulds of cephalopod shells (predominantly of ammonoids), are regarded herein as the product of remote (biologically induced) biomineralization formed in closed-off ...

Biogenic and physical sedimentary structures in latest Cambrian-earliest Ordovician mudrock facies (Famatina Range, Northwestern Argentina) [PDF]
Lamination is a common feature in shales and other mud-dominated rocks. When combined with other geological evidence, the diverse lamination types can provide important information about sedimentary processes and depositional environments.

Bio- and chemostratigraphy of the Posidonia Shale: a new database for the Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event from northern Germany [PDF]
We present calcareous nannofossil biostratigraphy, calcium carbonate and organic carbon isotope data of two cores drilled in the North German Basin (northern Germany) covering the upper part of the Amaltheenton-Formation (Fm) (upper Pliensbachian) and ...
