An open ocean record of the Toarcian oceanic anoxic event [PDF]
Oceanic anoxic events were time intervals in the Mesozoic characterized by widespread distribution of marine organic matter-rich sediments (black shales) and significant perturbations in the global carbon cycle.

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.

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).

Carbon sequestration in an expanded lake system during the Toarcian oceanic anoxic event [PDF]
The Early Jurassic Toarcian oceanic anoxic event (∼183 Ma) was marked by marineanoxia–euxinia and globally significant organic-matter burial, accompanied by amajor global carbon-cycle perturbation probably linked to Karoo–Ferrarvolcanism.

Paleosedimentary environmental reconstruction and mechanisms of the response to the Toarcian OAE in a lacustrine shale system [PDF]
The Lower Jurassic Ziliujing Formation in China’s Sichuan Basin is a significant shale target for exploration; however, the strong heterogeneity of the properties of organic matter (OM) in shale makes it challenging to identify the target area for ...

Intensification of the lacustrine methane cycle during the Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event
Abstract The Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event (T-OAE, ca. 183 Ma) was one of the most intense perturbations of Earth’s System of the last 250 million year. It was associated with the large-scale emission of 12C-enriched carbon, global warming, and increased organic carbon burial.

Major sulfur cycle perturbations in the Panthalassic Ocean across the Pliensbachian-Toarcian boundary and the Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event [PDF]
The early Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event (T-OAE, ~183 Ma) was characterized by marine deoxygenation and the burial of organic-rich sediments at numerous localities worldwide. However, the extent of marine anoxia and its impact on the sulfur cycle during the T-OAE is currently poorly understood. Here, stable sulfur isotopes of reduced metal-bound sulfur (

Sinemurian-Pliensbachian boundary event (Early Jurassic): Current status and future challenges
The Lower Jurassic is composed of the Hettangian, Sinemurian, Pliensbachian and Toarcian, among which the Toarcian oceanic anoxic events (T-OAE) have been widely studied. Depositions of black shales and negative excursions of both δ13Corg and δ13Ccarb at

Trochammina as opportunist foraminifera in the Lower Jurassic from north Siberia [PDF]
The ecostratigraphic analysis of foraminiferal assemblages from Upper Pliensbachian to Lower Toarcian (Lower Jurassic) mudstones, siltstones and black shales from northern Siberia allows for a better understanding of the response to the benthic biotic ...
