THE EARLY TOARCIAN (JURASSIC) ANOXIC EVENT - STRATIGRAPHIC, SEDIMENTARY, AND GEOCHEMICAL EVIDENCE
- Abstract:
-
Detailed paleogeographic studies in the Southern Alps suggest that an oxygen-minimum model is appropriate for interpreting conditions on Tethyan continental margins. Advection of manganese in this low-oxygen layer may explain the local occurrence of carbonate ores of this element. Carbon-sulfur and iron-sulfur ratios, although showing considerable scatter, suggest that bottom waters at this time were locally euxinic, containing free hydrogen sulfide. This Oceanic Anoxic Event was preceded by ...
