Pliensbachian–Toarcian ostracod biogeography in NW Europe: Evidence for water mass structure evolution [PDF]
This paper examines the role played by palaeoceanographic and climatic conditions on the palaeobiogeography of the Pliensbachian–Toarcian ostracods (Early Jurassic) in the European Epicontinental Sea (EES).

We present calcareous nannofossil biostratigraphy and abundances for the Upper Pliensbachian-Lower Toarcian interval, including the Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event (T-OAE), represented by the Fish Level at Colle di Sogno (N Italy).

Geology and Jurassic paleogeography of the Mt. Primo-Mt. Castel Santa Maria ridge and neighbouring areas (Northern Apennines, Italy) [PDF]
This paper presents the results of a geological mapping project across the Mt. Primo ridge and neighbouring areas (Umbria-Marche Domain – Northern Apennines), where a thick Meso-Cenozoic carbonate succession is exposed.

Low durophagous predation on Toarcian (Early Jurassic) ammonoids in the northwestern Panthalassa shelf basin [PDF]
Predatory shell breakage is known to occur occasionally on the ventrolateral portion of the body chamber in Mesozoic ammonoids. Here we report, for the first time, quantitative data of shell breakage in large ammonoid samples that were recovered from the

Seawater temperature and carbon isotope variations in belemnites linked to mass extinction during the Toarcian (Early Jurassic) in Central and Northern Spain. Comparison with other European sections [PDF]
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 Toarcian showing high-resolution ammonite-based biostratigraphy are

Chemostratigraphy of the Toarcian oceanic anoxic event from the Ionian Zone, Greece
A global perturbation in the carbon cycle has been recorded in the Early Toarcian (~ 183 Ma) and is marked by enhanced organic-carbon burial and mass extinction. It is also associated with high palaeotemperatures, both positive and negative excursions in carbon-isotope ratios, and the development of anoxic to euxinic conditions in marine environments ...

Disparity between Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event and Toarcian carbon isotope excursion
AbstractThe Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event (T-OAE, Early Jurassic) is marked by widespread marine deoxygenation and deposition of organic carbon (OC)-rich strata. The genesis of the T-OAE is thought to be associated with environmental changes caused by the emission of 12C-enriched greenhouse gasses (CO2, CH4), manifested in a negative Toarcian carbon ...
